Designing and Building Products with Claude: A 6-Step Tutorial
petergyang · x · 2026-07-30
The author shares a 25-minute tutorial on end-to-end product building using Claude Design and Claude Code. The core insight is that upfront planning is the difference between getting the product you want versus AI slop; flesh out requirements first and resist AI's urge to code too soon.
The 6-step workflow includes:
- Defining the problem and creating a design markdown
- Prototyping in Claude Design (which actively asks clarifying questions)
- Drafting an interactive HTML spec
- Designing core flows and building
A real app called Tastemaker is used as an example to demonstrate the full process.
