Part 1 explains what Claude Design is, how it fits into the AI tool landscape, and why Anthropic built it. 

Part 2 covers how to access it, what it costs on each plan, and how to set up your workspace and design system from scratch. 

Part 3 shows you how to use it day to day, including starting projects from prompts, documents, sketches, code, or live websites. It also covers editing with chat, inline comments, direct text editing, and custom sliders.

Part 4 gives you real examples. You will see a meditation app prototype with three screens, a SaaS website landing page, a 10-slide investor pitch deck, a one-page sales document, and advanced frontier designs with 3D elements and voice interaction. 

Part 5 breaks down every export option: internal URL, folder, PDF, PowerPoint, standalone HTML, and Canva.
