Nope, i'm on x20 and almost exclusively use Claude Code. I have a pretty bare bone setup with some custom hooks, skills, etc. I try to keep context lean so i don't like to add much stuff.
I keep a bookmarks folder of websites that have non-cookie-cutter design.
If I have an aesthetic in mind I'll use some screenshots of those sites in the prompt and phrase their inclusion as: "Look at these slightly non-standard designs that work really well for me." So far I've only seen Claude look for through-lines and high-level takeaways--"user likes <design feature> based on the screenshots, so I'll include that"--and screenshots aren't currently a granularity level where it can lift specific details or produce something derivative.
Other than that I try to encourage specific consideration of: type scale, borders and rounding, padding/whitespace, elevation as shadow vs blur, colors. I don't think one needs to pull every customization lever on every project.
This. Keep a list of sites you like and just jam screenshots of the best bits into Claude Design when you are asking it for help.
I've been designing sites for 32 years, and I've tried almost all the tools. I was very impressed with Stitch, but I've now migrated all my designs to Claude. My aesthetic is born in the simplicity and cleanliness of mid-90s, coupled with modern CSS. I want the purest, simplest HTML, with the simplest CSS and the absolute minimum of JS. Claude generates some of the best looking, most user-friendly designs I've seen. I don't need crazy scroll effects and tons of animations; I just need sites that are easy to read, easy to navigate and let the user get the task done in the quickest way.
