02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Extract Your Application's Design DNA

Point the AI to your project's source code, either in a local folder or in GitHub repositories. Ask it to analyze the CSS, components, and styling to understand your app's visual language.

2

Generate the design_system.html Artifact

Prompt the AI to consolidate its findings into a single, comprehensive HTML file. This file should visually display your color palette, typography, spacing rules, and interactive examples of core UI components.

3

Use the Design System as Context for New Work

When starting a new feature, provide the design_system.html file as context to the AI. It will use this file as a reference to ensure any new code it generates is perfectly on-brand and stylistically consistent.

4

Explore Component Variations

Enhance the design system by asking the AI to add interactive controls like sliders and knobs. This creates a component playground to explore variations in properties like padding or color in real-time.

5

Share with Non-Technical Stakeholders

Share the URL to the design_system.html page with marketing or product teams. This gives them a self-service tool to view and capture high-fidelity mockups of app components for presentations and videos.
