Design Lab

About

Design Lab is a specialized skill that automates the UI/UX exploration process within Claude Code. It detects your project's technical stack—including frameworks like Next.js or Vite and styling systems like Tailwind or MUI—to infer your existing visual language rather than relying on generic templates. By conducting structured interviews and generating five distinct UI variations in a temporary, interactive "lab" environment, it allows developers to compare approaches, collect real-time feedback via an integrated overlay, and finalize production-ready implementation plans with automatic cleanup of all temporary artifacts.

Key Features

• Interactive feedback system with a custom UI overlay for real-time refinement
• Structured design interviews covering scope, brand tone, and user personas
• Automatic cleanup of temporary design artifacts and sandbox routes upon completion
• Automated tech stack and visual style inference from existing codebases
• 439 GitHub stars
• Generation of five distinct UI variations for side-by-side comparison

Use Cases

• Modernizing legacy components while maintaining brand consistency through inferred styles
• Exploring multiple design directions for a new complex UI component or page layout
• Prototyping interactive UI patterns that align with existing design system tokens
