Prototype With Your Real Components and Hand Off Actual Code

Colin Matthews

Ship faster with prototypes eng loves

Ship faster by building prototypes your engineering team will love

AI prototyping has enabled anyone to quickly spin up an idea and share it. Prototypes make great communication tools, but when it comes time to ship, they're worse than useless.

You want to hand engineering a prototype that helps them ship faster, not just explains an idea.

In this half day workshop, I'll walk you through the exact workflows used by leading AI-enabled startups to ship prototypes using your real code.

In just 4 hours, you'll learn how to:

1️⃣ Build a design system inside AI prototyping tools based on your real code components

2️⃣ Instruct your AI tools to use your components effectively and correctly

3️⃣ Push your prototypes back into Figma or share the code directly with your engineering team

This is not a theoretical idea or a presentation-based webinar. You will walk away having implemented these exact workflows in tools like Bolt and Claude Code, so you'll know the step-by-step process to bring back to your organization.

If you want to build an AI-enabled team that ships faster, one of the most impactful things you can do is reduce the waste in your development lifecycle.

Stop creating throw away prototypes and start building prototypes engineering will love.

What you’ll learn

Workshop agenda

Why AI prototypes don't speed up delivery
AI prototypes let anyone share ideas quickly, but they have almost no value when it comes to shipping features
Building a AI prototyping design system based on your real components
The key unlock is building a design system using your real components from your code base
Teaching AI how to use your components correctly
Tools like Claude Code don't know anything about your design system. Teach it the right way to use your components with a customized Skill that can be shared across the team.
Building prototypes that actually help you ship features faster
See a live demo of the end-to-end process of shipping a prototype that engineers can actually use
Demo: Set up your own design system in Claude Code
Hands on practice building your own design system inside of Claude Code
