/designcommand usage for app and site layout- Skills-based extension for repeatable design systems

Superpowers
The significant change is integration. Claude Design existed as a workflow people assembled by
hand from early 2025; in August 2026 Anthropic shipped it as a first-class surface inside Claude
Code. That collapses the design→code handoff into one tool, which is why the August coverage is
dominated by “this changes everything” framing from design-focused creators.
