A good fit
- Designers who own or maintain a design system, and design-systems teams
- Pairs from one org working the same system — the best version of this workshop
- Anyone with one screen an agent recently got wrong. The mess is the material

AI-Ready Design Systems
Your design system, agent-ready in four hours.
Agents drift because your system was written for humans. Audit it, score it, and harness one pipeline — so an agent builds one on-brand screen through it, live, and the gates prove it.
You leave with
Scored audit, harnessed pipeline, fix list
- A scored agent-readiness audit of your own design system
- One working harnessed pipeline — tokens, a contract, a firing gate
- An agent-built screen that passed the gates, and the prioritized fix list for the rest

The pain
Agents drift because your system was written for humans.
Almost all of them are written for humans.
An agent ships a screen, it's off-brand in a way your guidelines technically allow, and you fix it by hand.
Agents drift wherever two truths disagree.
What's an AI-ready design system?
What's an AI-ready design system?
Either way you leave the same: an agent builds one on-brand screen through your system, live, and the gates prove it — no ad-hoc prompting allowed.
- Your design system is the source your product's UI is built from: tokens, components, and the rules between them.
- AI-ready means an agent can read and follow yours — one source of truth, contracts it can act on, and gates that catch what slips.

You leave with
Three artifacts, all yours, all built on your system.

Who it's for
Bring your own design system — even a messy one. Especially a messy one.
Not for you if
- There's no design system or tokens anywhere yet — start with Agentic Brand Assets
- You want the audit done for you rather than a method you run yourself
- Your system lives only in Figma — message first; the audit works anywhere, but the live build test is strongest with a code-backed system
How it runs
Part one: audit. Part two: harness and prove it.
Session one · 2 hours
Show & tell: the audit
Watch every block run live on a real system, end to end.
Between sessions
Your turn
Run it on your own system — homework, with help in the community.
Session two · 2 hours
Bring your build: harness & prove it
Session two starts from the score and the questions you bring.
Every session is recorded
Proof
We've already run this.
Existing, established work — used in startups and side projects, including this website.

Teaches
The design in plain terms — brand files, harnesses, and cited synthesis — and the judgment to tell when an agent's output is on-brand enough to ship.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
The answers here apply to this workshop.
What should I bring?
Access to your design system — repo or Figma — and one screen an agent recently got wrong. The mess is the material.
Do I need Claude Code?
Yes. The free Claude Code 101 pre-work covers setup if you're new to it.
Our system lives only in Figma. Does this still work?
The audit and contracts work anywhere; the live build test is strongest with a code-backed system. Message first and we'll check fit honestly.
Can my team attend together?
Yes — pairs from one org working the same system are the best version of this workshop. Message about team seats.
Why $499?
It's the introductory-cohort price. The first cohorts shape the format, and the price says so. It rises for later cohorts.
What if the live time doesn't fit my timezone?
Every session is recorded, and the work happens between sessions on your own time. Follow the recording and bring questions to the community.
Support & community
You're not on your own, during the cohort or after.
The agent and design system are what you build. The room is what you keep.
Async support, all week
The team stays in the group channels through the week, not just on live days.
Optional live AMAs
When chat is not enough, optional live AMAs unblock the room.
