1. Request the whole journey first, not just the screen

Claude Design starts by defining the scope of the user experience rather than a UI mockup.
- It places reservations, emails, intake, and consultations into one flow across digital and physical touchpoints.
The product’s visual language is fixed with an existing design system.
- Importing a system like Microsoft Fluent from a Git repository lets you focus on journey design while maintaining component consistency.

2. Narrow the scope of deliverables with contextual questions

The questions Claude asks back are a mechanism for adjusting the depth of the output and the cost of generation.
- A long, scrollable canvas format is suitable when you want to compare flows at a glance.
In early reviews, focus on one core version.
- Restricting interaction to a static journey saves tokens while letting you check structure and transition points first.

3. Review the basis of the generated journey

Look first at how the design system is reflected and how the touchpoints are connected, rather than at the finished screen.
- Check whether components are used consistently and whether online and offline stages connect naturally.
Use the reasons behind the design decisions Claude presents as review material.
- Find weakly supported steps, missing edge cases, and unnecessary transitions to refine the next prompt and process.
