The last couple of days it seems like Anthropic gave a bit more usage and with this really simple workflow I was able to build around 10 design systems, 10 websites and 10 sets of digital assets (maybe more) and my usage is at 70% (I have a pro account).

Workflow the last days:

1. default to Haiku as the main model. It doesn't always bang out great designs, sites or assets but what it does do is allow me to iterate fast without burning tokens.

NB. Haiku doesn't seem to output a design system in the same way as Opus does, dunno if this is intentional but it's mildly annoying (workaround coming though).

2. produce a few options for each (or click generate multiple options when the questions come). This allows me to get closer to what I want faster.

3. once I'm close I copy the URL of that design chat into a new design chat and run it with opus and as specific a prompt as I can muster. Guys, think about it and use your brain and creative juices here. It's worth the little extra effort

Surprisingly not all of the "good" results came from the Opus gens but this workflow allowed me to iterate fast yesterday without leaving Claude design.

Been dancing around 4 year and since I started private classes all I've wanted to do is dance the basics and move my hips and shoulders more fluidly. I don't remember enjoy Bachata this much since the beginner buzz phase, where every class, interaction or new experience was exciting. Is this a phase ? Anyone else experienced this? Any tips ?

I've spent the last 5 years working on dev projects in different capacities and made a shift from VSCode to Ag.

But I mean wtf has happened. It seems Google wants kids around the world to access and f**k up their parents computers (for the 5 minutes the flash 3.5 tokens last) and then go back to using deep seek???

This "upgrade" has certainly made me frustrated enough to post this. Anyone else feeling this?

I made a new channel to share some of the things I'm doing with Claude (and beyond). I haven't seen so many videos exploring the creative side of Claude design would love to know if this kind of content is helpful as well as anything I missed or could be improved.

Positive feedback also welcome :)

WTF I can create a whole design system for any of my brands or any of my personal projects in like 15 minutes??

Then I looked at usage. and 59% of my token usage was gone with a single design system!!

After that, for the first week I was really tentative, and I just did minimal stuff and I was waiting for the weekly reset. The second week, I started realising a couple of things, primarily that you don't have to use Claude Design all the time, and also for quicker designs, if I don't have a fully polished idea yet, I'm going to use Haiku first.

Tips (based on a my rough global workflow):

• Probably obvious but i'm using a design system. This automatically gets the output way closer to with the ideas in my mind.
• Next a little bit of creative planning. That's pen and paper kids. Get away from the computer. If it's a full design system I'm spending more time getting creative with tools like mixboard to visualise what i've written down.
• Then, if I want to iterate on the design(s) or am not sure about what the end result will look like, i'm taking what i've gathered so far and hopping over to other tools like open-design to do the first draft(s). If it's getting good results here I'll often just use it from there. Often I need Claude.
• Change the base model in Claude Design to haiku. It's actually pretty good at getting your idea visualised, especially with all the steps and lovely context i've added now - somewhat similar to if you've used Google flash for simple software projects. It get's you going.
• Then when the chat gets a bit beefy, i'll take this post a step further and try to start new conversations as soon as I can, but honestly with the content, clear vision and decent prompt in the first place it's very often a one shot in Claude Design.

Happy to provide an example of how i'd create something tangible with these tips if it helps.

a few lil tips i use to help when when songs forget what they’re doing mid-track. e.g.. genre shifts, tempo drops, songs go dreamy, tracks cap out at 7:59 for no reason. v5.5 feels way less predictable than v4.5.

• add inline energy cues:  Energy: Low,  Energy: Medium -> High,  Energy: Explosive 
• use [Short Instrumental Intro] or [Urgent Intro] instead of [Intro] to avoid stuttered partial-vocal openings
• generate the base in v4.5 (until the instrumental is stable), then cover in v5.5 for vocals only. 4.5 holds structure better
• anchor BPM explicitly in the style prompt (85–95 lo-fi, 118 indie/pop-soul, 140+ upbeat)
• swap  [Verse]  and [Chorus] tags for  [Hook], [Bridge] and [Drop] once the structure is sorted
• remove empty lines between stanzas. empty lines can signal a pause or instrumental break to the model

inspired by this post asking for a song to be covered. it doesn't have to be a polished masterpiece just something fun from your perspective.

the concept:

1. Cover someone's song and share the vision in one sentence in one comment in that thread.
2. Post your own song in a new thread with one sentence vision of it.
3. Give sandwich feedback to another - one thing you like, one thing they can improve, one more thing you like

im learning, creating and trying to share some helpful stuff along the way.

The problem: small details e.g a detuned synth, one artefact on a lyric, the audio influence slider behaviour when using a voice are opaque and can’t be targeted. Studio crashes for some users.

Current community solutions:

• use technical signal-chain prompting (drums → bass → harmony → vocals → FX → mix) instead of vague emotional words like ‘dreamy’ or ‘ethereal’
• limit style prompt to 2 core instruments for cleaner, more realistic output
• for covers using a Voice: Weirdness ~20%, Style ~80%, Audio ~80%
• Audio Influence at ~96% (not 100%) reduces pops and clicks in many cases
• for Studio crashes: work in smaller clips, avoid over-editing in the grid

Any more?

The problem: songs start clean but degrade mid-track. hissing, distortion, 'tin can' vocals, ~0:48 'wind tunnel / darth vader' artifact, and volume creep on longer generations.

Current community solutions:

1. keep Weirdness < 80%, Style Influence < 95%
2. use Sample/Cover mode on your own generations to 'reset' the audio chain
3. target shorter generations (under 2:30) where degradation is less likely
4. use negative prompts:  -high pitched noises, -scraping sounds

Any more?
