Module 5, Lesson 4: Connect Claude Design to Claude Code
Before We Start
From previous lessons:
- Your design is done: a phased, interactive prototype built in Claude Design, refined through feedback. Module 5, Lesson 3
- WebStorm is set up with your project folder, including your MCP configuration. Module 3, Lesson 1
- Claude Code is installed. Module 3, Lesson 3
Tools / setup you'll need:
- Claude Design, with your finished design open
- WebStorm, with your project open
- A terminal (inside WebStorm or standalone)
By the end of this lesson, you'll:
- Have generated a connection prompt from Claude Design and handed it to Claude Code
- Have logged Claude Code into Claude Design and authorized design system access
- Have confirmed Claude Code can actually read your design file and project
- Know why your design isn't fully synced yet, and what's coming next to fix that
