Keep pulling the thread on Meaghan Choi.
As part of her design workflow, Meaghan Choi sometimes provides engineers with a draft pull request created with Claude Code instead of a traditional Figma mock-up.
Claude Code supports a personal `claude.md` file that provides global instructions for a user's instance across all repositories, separate from project-specific `claude.md` files.
Anthropic recently released a feature for Claude Code called 'agents' (or 'sub-agents') which are programmable agents that can run in parallel.
Meaghan Choi has configured her personal `claude.md` file to instruct Claude Code to reference the existing component library and adhere to design system best practices before finalizing implementation decisions.
Meaghan Choi, a Design Lead at Anthropic, spends approximately an equal amount of time working in Claude Code as she does in Figma.
Claude AI's artifacts feature can be used for 'zero to one' product exploration without needing the full Claude Code tool.
Meaghan Choi uses Claude Code to understand a codebase's implementation, system prompts, and architecture as a pre-brainstorming step for new features.
At Anthropic, many designers were already coding and submitting pull requests even before the direct integration of Claude Code.
Claude Code has a 'background bashes' feature, activated by Control+B, that allows ongoing processes like a dev server to run in the background while the user continues to interact with Claude.
To provide visual feedback for UI changes, Meaghan Choi's workflow involves exporting a design mock as a PNG and dragging it into Claude Code to leverage its vision capabilities.
Claude Code supports multiple, hierarchical `claude.md` files, allowing for layered context and instructions.
Employees at Anthropic are frequent users of Claude Code, serving as the primary 'dogfooders' for the product.
