Flare: Visual CSS editor that generates prompts for Claude Code

Have been talking to more designers recently that are starting to experiment with claude code for prototyping. A common pattern was that removing the coding step was a wow moment, but tweaking designs was hard.

Cursors design mode solves more or less solves this for cursor, but we need something generic. Flare is an attempt of making a general solution for this problem, simply integrating into any app and giving you your changes as a ready-to-paste prompt.

There's plenty of potential for expanding this, text-editing, more css compatibility, adding new components, mcp server for directly injecting the changes and more.

Would love to hear your feedback and thoughts!

This feels like a natural evolution of the design-to-code workflow. Instead of generating code directly, generating structured prompts gives more control and keeps the human in the loop.

One of the biggest challenges with AI-generated UI is iteration — small visual tweaks often require regenerating large chunks of code. Having a visual editor that produces precise, minimal prompts could make the iteration loop much faster and more predictable.
