Design Studio with Claude Code

A directory structure for making every kind of creative work with Claude Code

Abstract

A directory structure for making every kind of creative work with Claude Code. Sub-agents and skills are combined so that any type of project can be produced through the same structure.

Background

Critique always comes with creative work. Working alone, though, the loop of being critiqued and revising rarely turns. The thought was that working with Claude Code could make that loop run, and lift the quality of the work a step in doing so.

This was never about tidying data. It was about standing the role of critic outside myself, and that is the main reason the structure exists.

Method

An art director agent reads the brand rules and judges the work against them. What comes back is not an impression but a verdict, together with the number of the article that was broken. On this site the critique returned “conditional go, six required fixes”, and those fed straight into the revisions.

When ideas need to diverge, the same procedure runs in parallel to widen them at once. This site went through eighteen proposals. Starting a project is just as cheap, since the folders and the brief template arrive already in place, so the only thing left to think about is the content.

The same approach now extends further — into streamlining operations, and into building and running design systems — offered as a mechanism.

Outcome

Through it came the brand foundations and rules, the logotype and the icons. The assets used on this site, and the site itself, all come out of the same mechanism. Every one of them can be produced again from the same skills and sub-agents, and the structure will keep growing.
