Claude Design, Anthropic's generative design tool powered by Claude Opus 4.7, launched quietly in research preview for Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise subscribers. It lets developers describe layouts in chat, iterate via a canvas with custom sliders, and hand off directly to Claude Code for component generation. Key strengths include the conversation-to-canvas loop and Claude Code integration for solo developers without design budgets. Limitations include a separate weekly token allowance, inline comment bugs, and compact view save errors. Figma's stock dropped ~7% on launch day. The tool is part of Anthropic's broader ecosystem loop connecting Claude Code, Claude.ai, and Canva exports — worth testing now for solo developers, but teams should wait for stability fixes.
