How to properly convert AI-generated UI into a structured Figma component library
Converting Claude-generated UI markup into a usable Figma component library requires a disciplined, sequential approach rather than harvesting components directly from canvas screens. The key principle is to read the source markup first, establish a clear naming record, and rename all elements before componentising — reversing this order creates compounding structural errors. Masters should be built in a clean library section to avoid carrying screen-specific artefacts like padding wrappers or demo labels into every future instance. Colour, type, and style bindings must be applied carefully, with human judgment overriding automated checkers to prevent the system from silently adopting unintended values. Before running any bulk swap of screen layers to component instances, a single representative screen should be manually verified to catch silent content overwrites that can be costly to detect and fix later.
