AI workflows for people
who make products.
31 real workflows from PMs, designers and researchers. Each one has steps, tools and a link to the original source.
A PM's guide to building working prototypes with AI
Replace the PRD with a behavioral brief, generate an interactive prototype, iterate in the same environment, then hand engineering a tested prototype.
Prototyping prompts that ship better MVPs
Plan first in Bolt Plan Mode or Lovable Chat Mode, then build one chunk at a time with precise design vocabulary.
Pick the right AI builder for a weekend prototype
The same project built four ways with v0, Lovable, Bolt and Cursor, plus a decision tree for which to use.
Choosing your AI prototyping stack
A comparison of Lovable, v0, Bolt, Replit, Cursor and Magic Patterns for designers and PMs who prototype.
Prototype inside your real codebase and ship a PR
Plan with the AI, build on a branch of your actual product, preview in context, then turn the validated prototype into a pull request.
Connect Figma to your coding agent with the remote MCP server
Set up Figma's hosted MCP server in Cursor, Claude Code, Codex or VS Code and generate code from selected frames.
Figma MCP best practices for accurate design to code
Structure files with components, variables and Code Connect so agents stop guessing, and trigger the right MCP tools.
Custom rules for Figma to code implementation
A rules file that forces the agent to fetch context and a screenshot before coding and to reuse your design system tokens and components.
Cursor and Figma: read and write design context
Use the Figma MCP server in Cursor to read components and variables, generate code, and send live UI back to Figma as editable layers.
Two pass research synthesis with Claude Code
Code each transcript on its own, then cluster codes into themes so every theme keeps a participant ID and verbatim quote.
Queryable interview folders for traceable themes
One file per interview, a CLAUDE.md with integrity rules, themes with verbatim quotes, and a final verification pass.
Synthesize interviews into themes and a pain points doc
A Claude skill that turns transcripts into a synthesis report plus a separate problems-only document, with quote verification.
A UX designer's day with Claude Code
Daily routines for research synthesis, personas, usability analysis and design critique using Claude Code skills.
Research notes to a one-page findings report
Paste raw notes into Claude and get 3 to 5 themes with quotes, interpretation, implications and flagged contradictions.
PRD workshop, one section at a time
A gated prompt that builds a PRD section by section, labels gaps as assumptions or open questions, and ends with a self-critique.
PRD section loop with dependency order
A looped agent goal that drafts PRD sections in dependency order with sign-off per section, writing the executive summary last.
Write a PRD with AI as a thinking partner
Use @-mentioned context, Socratic questioning, parallel strategic options and sub-agent reviews before sharing a PRD.
Eight prompts for an AI-generated PRD
Copy-paste prompts for problem statement, user stories, scope, metrics, edge cases, risks and summary, plus a template.
Design ops automation with Figma's agent
Run component audits, token consistency checks, bulk renames and layer cleanup with an agent inside the file.
Generate specs and handoff notes in Figma
Prompt Figma's agent to write component specs, annotations and handoff notes from what is actually on the canvas.
Let an agent build screens with your design system
Use the use_figma tool so an agent creates real frames, components, variants and variables in your file.
Design system docs your coding agent can read
Spec Layer documents components and tokens on canvas and exports YAML and DTCG specs that a repo can pull via CLI.
AI-assisted usability testing
Use AI as a pre-review and analysis layer for usability sessions while keeping humans on validation.
WCAG 2.2 AA gates with AI agents in CI
Pair automated accessibility checks with agent-run keyboard, focus and screen reader checks and human sign-off.
50 practical Claude Code use cases
Non-coding uses of Claude Code collected from Lenny's community, many for PM work.
Triage customer feedback with traceable quotes
Batch-process feedback CSVs in Claude Code, require 3 supporting rows per theme, and keep row IDs and unclustered items.
Claude Code for product managers
Teresa Torres on research, writing, context libraries and a custom to-do system with Claude Code.
Feedback to Linear issues with Dovetail agents
Dovetail agent workflows turn tagged customer feedback into Linear issues with quotes and account context.
Auto-triage issues with Linear Triage Intelligence
Linear suggests teams, assignees, labels, projects and duplicates for incoming issues from content and history.
Meeting notes and agents in Notion AI
Notion AI transcribes and summarizes meetings and runs agents for recurring work across connected apps.
Generate FigJam diagrams from Mermaid
The Figma MCP server's generate_diagram tool turns Mermaid from your agent into an editable FigJam diagram.
