CLAUDE NEW April 18, 2026

Claude Design → Claude Code Handoff (CLI)

WHAT CHANGED

Claude Design now exports a handoff bundle that Claude Code can ingest directly. This replaces manual copying of specs, design tokens, and component structure.

WHY IT MATTERS

Design to production code in one command. Design tokens, spacing, typography, and component structure transfer automatically — no more rewriting specs by hand.

HOW TO USE IT

In Claude Design, click Export → Handoff to Claude Code. Save the ZIP. Then run this in your project.

CLAUDE / BASH

# In your project directory
unzip ~/Downloads/claude-design-handoff.zip -d ./design-handoff
claude "Implement the design in ./design-handoff using our existing component library. Follow the design tokens in design-handoff/tokens.json. Generate React + Tailwind."

The handoff bundle contains tokens.json (colors, spacing, typography), components/ (individual component specs), and reference screenshots. Claude Code reads the whole bundle and generates production-ready React. For existing projects, point Claude at your component library so the output matches existing patterns.
