I’ve been doing web dev for clients for a while now and the design part has always been the bottleneck. Either you hire a designer, sit through Figma rounds, or you try to get an LLM to output something decent and end up with purple gradient AI slop. Google just released Stitch and I’ve been messing around with it quite a bit. The interesting part for me is how well it works when you use Claude Code as the architect layer on top of it. My workflow right now is basically: I open Claude Code, point it at a client folder with all their context (meeting notes, brand guidelines, website screenshots, whatever I have), and then have it drive the Stitch MCP. It creates a design.md first which is essentially what a Figma designer would produce. Colors, fonts, spacing, border radius, the whole design system. Then it sends a prompt to Stitch to generate actual screens based on that. The design.md part is honestly the biggest deal for me. Yesterday I sat in a client meeting, pulled it up, went through the design system together, edit things live, and then regenerate. That used to require a designer in the room. The Stitch Skills repo from Google Labs gives Claude Code the ability to create design systems and generate screens through the MCP. Worth checking out if you’re doing any frontend work. Curious if anyone else has tried combining Claude Code with Stitch already or if you’re handling the design side differently? submitted by /u/kaancata
