How to Get Consistent Brand Designs From Any AI Agent

Claude Design is great, but it takes 5 to 15 minutes to spin up and rarely nails the brand on the first pass. So I built a design folder instead. Drop in your logos, screenshots, and references, have Claude generate a design.md style guide, and point Cowork at it. Now every deck, post, and asset comes back perfectly on-brand in about 60 seconds. The bonus: this folder works across any agent, not just Claude. Open Interpreter, Hermes, whatever you're using next month, your design system comes with you. In this video I walk through the exact folder setup, how to generate the design.md file with your own preferences baked in, and a live demo building a 3-slide deck from a single prompt.
