Did Anthropic just kill Figma?

Anthropic launched Claude Design, a new AI-powered UI prototyping tool that competes directly with Figma. The author does a live first-look, using it to redesign the T3 Code marketing site. Key features include importing a codebase for context, leaving comments on designs for batch AI edits, a 'knobs' mode for live CSS tweaking, and exporting designs to Claude Code for implementation. The tool shows genuine promise for rapid UI mockups and bridging the designer-developer gap, but suffers from usage limits (separate quota from regular Claude), bugs like disappearing files, and rough edges. Despite issues, the author concludes it's the best software Anthropic has shipped and a real threat to Figma's market position.
