WHAT THEY DID
Salimeh Miller, then senior UX/UI designer at Clever Digital Marketing (Alpha CDM), tested five AI design tools and chose Claude Code with Figma MCP to design inside a real Figma sandbox against a design system she built for AI agents (Prompt Kit / CLAUDE.md three-layer rules).
STEP BY STEP
- Test five tools (Lovable, Magic Path, Figma Make, Claude Design, Claude Code); keep Claude Code for in-file Figma work.
- Build AI-readable foundations/components and a CLAUDE.md three-layer model (invariants, patterns, creative latitude).
- Run Claude Code in a Figma sandbox; use sub-agent verification and reverse prompting.
- Scale with vertical prompt templates and CRO checks; prepare sample landing templates.
HOW IT WENT
She reports design and build time falling from three weeks to three to five days, a day-28 leadership demo, eight vertical-specific prompt templates, and four sample landing-page templates prepared for launch. Full conversion data was not available before her role ended, she writes.
Reported results: 3 weeks → 3–5 days design/build (case study and LinkedIn); day-28 leadership approval; 4 sample templates; conversion data incomplete at role end.
WORTH KNOWING
A detailed first-person agency workflow with named tool comparisons, guardrails (invariants / patterns / creative latitude), MCP sync limits, and a dated LinkedIn post matching the same three-week-to-3–5-day claim.
TRY IT
- Write never-break / follow / explore rules into a CLAUDE.md before letting an agent edit Figma.
- Sandbox the agent away from production files and feed fixes back into the rules.
- Ask the agent to explain each design choice so reviewers check reasons, not only pixels.
Rates the entry, not the tool.

Claims and where they come from
- Salimeh Miller writes that orchestrating Claude Code inside a Figma sandbox against a design system built for AI reduced design and build time from 3 weeks to 3–5 days. (reported) [1]
- She says she tested Lovable, Magic Path, Figma Make, Claude Design and Claude Code, and that Claude Code was the only tool that worked directly inside their actual Figma file. (reported) [1]
- She describes a Three-Layer Model in CLAUDE.md: invariants (brand, typography, accessibility), patterns, and creative latitude. (reported) [1]
- She reports Figma MCP sync lag and occasional empty-file false reports, so verification had to be built in. (reported) [1]
- On LinkedIn (activity dated 2026-10-20) she says the agentic Figma workflow cut production time from three weeks to three to five days, and answers with never-break / follow / explore rules plus human review. (reported) [2]
- Her About page lists Clever Digital Marketing Senior UX/UI Designer Apr 2025 – Oct 2026. (reported) [4]
4TC interpretation
Our reading, not something the source says.
Shows how a designer turns brand and accessibility rules into agent guardrails so Claude Code can work inside Figma without inventing a parallel system.
Designer impact
Alleged [1]
She reports Figma MCP sync lag and occasional empty-file false reports.
- Build verification into every step; do not trust the connection is current.
Alleged [1]
She writes full conversion data was not available before her role ended.
- Treat shipped-template claims as structural, not measured performance.
