Same energy with Claude Code on my end. The shift is real... what used to take me a weekend to figure out now ships in one evening session. The bottleneck moved from 'can I build this' to 'should I build this.'

Can you expand on your claude design workflow. Haven't gotten mine dialed in yet.

Is the actual /goal you’re using something straightforward like “satisfy all acceptance criteria in prd.md”?

Yes

Great vid, woukd love to see u starting yt videos. Question to Claude design, do you do every single screen of your app/ new feature in Claude design or just few and let codex do the rest?

Did you switch to ultrawide monitor recently? Realized having more real estate for multiple agents in parallel was a huge unlock 😂

What effort is Codex working at for a large build like this? I’m always between hard and extra hard, but I find the latter almost overthinking sometimes.

Liked the Mermaid code callout. We use that extensively on and it’s very versatile and effective.

V interesting. Do you find the Mermaid diagrams help codex deliver the feature correctly? Do you inspect the mermaid charts yourself?

Ryan Carson's profile picture

Mermaid charts definitely help me. I'm not 100% sure how much they help the model, but I think the clarity is probably always good.

So many great tips. Thanks for sharing. Did you use Figma or other design assets to build the design system that Claude Design uses? I'm wondering how well Claude Design handles starting from scratch.

Ryan Carson's profile picture

So I paid a designer for the initial branding and design system, and then Claude Design is able to pretty much use it for UI. I would say it's not good enough for designing really great landing pages. I think humans still win on that.

You’re a mind reader because I’m building a landing page. Guess I’ll be spending more time in Figma after building out some design system assets. I might try giving it some design references and see how it does.

I vibed my way to a private media aggregator by telling Claude Code what to do. Like very few minutes for weeks. When I learnt to say. 'heres the goal, test, measure and iterate every 5 minutes' my life changed.

/goal is underrated for big feature work. giving the agent a north star vs a single task changes how it sequences steps. watched it make decisions mid-run I wouldn't have thought to specify explicitly.

Super helpful, thanks for sharing. Claude design is amazing.

`/goal` is the useful primitive here: it turns a huge feature from one long prompt into a stateful contract the agent can keep checking against.

/goal is just a requirements doc that actually gets read. first time in my career that's happened.

Learned a lot in 6 minutes. Very cool / thank you. What is that ultra-wide monitor you have? The more AI I'm using, the more screen real estate I need😅
