@shadcn this has the potential to be your most valuable open source contribution if you share it

this interaction got a lot smoother when I toggled visibility via CSS instead of mounting/unmounting the element.

this allowed me to persist video progress, remove mounting flicker, and add starting transitions.

shown:
{ isShown ? "translate-y-0 starting:translate-y-0.5" : "hidden" }

smoother than:
{ isShown && <Element /> }

pro tip: replace your after effect label colors with tailwind colors

Found an *actually* useful way to use agent teams for design systems:

- Explorer agents comb docs, production codebases, platform docs for usage/guidelines relevant to a specific skill (e.g. responsive design)
- Main agent helps you write targeted skill.md with real code samples

I made an AI prototyping environment for my team (to build React prototypes with our design system) and this @paper shader onClick easter egg might be my favorite part

@zeddotdev I would love to use the new agents panel to organize terminals even in projects where I have AI features disabled &lt;3

@kevinyien I was able to rebuild most of our design system in Claude Design without maxing my credits by:

1. Claude generates style specs based on Figma MCP
2. Use @nathanacurtis Specs CLI to generate structural data
3. Combine these into one spec file per component
4. Upload files to CD

[Jake Morrison @iamjakemorrison]

okay @zeddotdev is great

[Jake Morrison @iamjakemorrison]

@JohnPhamous Would love to see how you're accomplishing these details in code too! Is this powered by pretext?

[Jake Morrison @iamjakemorrison]

@DanHollick legendary share. thank you!

Spicy take:

The older, slower path of developing ideas through canvas-based tools, paired with Claude Code for prototyping, is producing more intentional and better creative outcomes than these insanely over-processed AI workflows.
