How to Connect a Design System to an AI Code Editor for High-Fidelity Prototypes

Create a new React application to serve as the basic structure for your prototypes. This should include the main product elements like dashboard chrome, navigation, and routing, providing a consistent shell for the AI to build within.

[insert the files, settings, accounts, or constraints for this step]

Give me the exact commands, settings, or output to use. Finish with a pass or fail check for set up the application foundation.

Incorporate your company's internal design system components, such as Stripe's 'Sail', into the React application. This step gives the AI direct access to the correct, on-brand UI elements for building prototypes.

Give me the exact commands, settings, or output to use. Finish with a pass or fail check for integrate your design system.

Set up a local or internal server that acts as an API for your design system. This allows the AI code editor to programmatically query for available components and their correct usage, preventing it from hallucinating designs.

Give me the exact commands, settings, or output to use. Finish with a pass or fail check for create a component server.

Example Rule: 'If a user pastes a Figma link, you should check the component server before writing any code.' This prevents the AI from hallucinating a design.

Integrate the entire setup with your company's internal development infrastructure, like 'dev boxes'. The goal is to let any team member spin up a fully configured prototyping environment from a single internal URL, removing all local setup friction.

Create a new dashboard page for a [user type, e.g., new startup] user. Use only components from our internal design system. The page should include [list 2-3 key components or sections, e.g., a welcome banner, a line chart for revenue, and a table of recent transactions]. Populate the components with realistic sample data for this user type.
