Wireframe Prototyper

Build interactive wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes with dual-fidelity modes, live color systems, and Figma export.

What It Does

Wireframe Prototyper is a Claude skill that transforms design briefs into fully interactive web prototypes. Instead of static mockups, you get a navigable application with switchable fidelity levels, live color editing, and production-ready React code.

How It Works

Describe your project to Claude and the skill runs a structured discovery interview covering fidelity scope, competitor research, features, screen list, and design preferences. Claude then builds a complete design system and screens as a deployed web app with:

  • Dual-fidelity toggling — Switch between black-and-white wireframes and full Material Design 3 prototypes with one click
  • Live color system — Edit your entire palette in real time with WCAG contrast checking
  • Screen navigation — Click sidebar to jump between screens instantly
  • Figma capture mode — Screenshot dialogs and states for Figma import
  • Production code — React components and Tailwind CSS structured for handoff to developers

Use Cases

Ideal for rapid iteration on marketplace platforms, SaaS dashboards, mobile-first sites, and multi-screen flows. Works well when you need to validate layout and information architecture before high-fidelity design, or when presenting to stakeholders across fidelity levels.

Who Benefits

Product designers exploring early concepts, UX designers validating flows, design system leads prototyping components, and teams needing interactive artifacts for feedback cycles without Figma or prototyping tool overhead.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with Wireframe Prototyper?
Download the skill zip file and upload it to Claude. Then start a conversation saying 'I want to create wireframes for [your project]. Use the wireframe-prototyper skill.' Claude will ask discovery questions about fidelity, competitors, features, and design preferences, then build your prototype as a live web app.
What's the difference between Lo-Fi and Hi-Fi modes?
Lo-Fi mode shows black-and-white wireframes with minimal styling—pure structure and layout. Hi-Fi mode applies full Material Design 3 styling with colors, typography, hover states, images, and elevation. Toggle between them instantly from the toolbar without rebuilding.
Can I edit colors without asking Claude?
Yes. The built-in Color Palette Tool lets you edit individual colors with hex input or an eyedropper, swap between 7 presets, create custom palettes, and check WCAG contrast ratios—all in real time across all screens.
How do I export my prototype for Figma?
Use Figma Capture Mode to screenshot screens and UI states (dialogs, dropdowns stay open). Then import those images into Figma using Figma's Code to Canvas feature via Figma MCP to convert screenshots back into editable components.
Is the generated code production-ready?
The code is semi-production ready. It's structured with separate design system components, contexts, hooks, and screens using React and Tailwind CSS. It can serve as a foundation for developers to extend, but should be validated and refactored for security and performance before shipping.
Can I add or modify screens after the prototype is built?
Yes. Once your prototype is live, you can ask Claude to add new screens, modify existing ones, or restructure your information architecture. Changes are reflected immediately in the running app.
What design system does it use?
The skill uses Material Design 3 tokens for colors, typography, and spacing. All 7 built-in presets and custom palettes are checked to meet WCAG AA contrast requirements for accessibility.
Do I need design or coding skills to use this?
No. You describe your project in plain language, and Claude handles the design system setup and code generation. You interact with the prototype through the UI and provide feedback to Claude for iterations.

Glossary

Fidelity
The level of detail and polish in a design. Lo-Fi (low-fidelity) is rough and basic; Hi-Fi (high-fidelity) is polished with colors, typography, and visual details.
Material Design 3
Google's open design system providing tokens for color roles, typography scales, spacing, and components. Used here for consistent, accessible interface patterns.
WCAG Compliance
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines—standards for making digital content accessible to people with disabilities. WCAG AA is a middle conformance level covering contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, and more.
Design System
A shared library of reusable components, tokens (colors, typography, spacing), and rules that ensure consistency across all screens and states.
Design Token
A variable representing a design decision (e.g., a color, font size, or spacing value) that can be applied consistently across all screens and updated in one place.
