Claude can create beautiful designs, but
[00:03] (3.00s)
a brand new prompting technique just
[00:05] (5.44s)
solved its number one limitation. It's
[00:08] (8.40s)
called the gauntlet loop, and it enables
[00:11] (11.12s)
you to get incredible website graphics
[00:14] (14.28s)
presentations in one shot with [music]
[00:17] (17.12s)
less mistakes. And in this video, I'll
[00:19] (19.16s)
show you exactly how to do it, even if
[00:21] (21.96s)
you're a complete beginner. So, if you
[00:23] (23.52s)
haven't already, grab that beautiful
[00:25] (25.12s)
coffee and let's dive straight in. So,
[00:27] (27.60s)
it's called the gauntlet loop or the
[00:29] (29.44s)
design loop, which is really
[00:30] (30.80s)
fascinating. Now, as we know, Claude can
[00:32] (32.36s)
build beautiful designs like this, for
[00:34] (34.40s)
example. It can build HTML animations
[00:37] (37.24s)
that look a little bit like this.
[00:38] (38.84s)
Effectively, anything we want to, but
[00:41] (41.20s)
the biggest problem that we have here is
[00:43] (43.88s)
simply the fact that Claude judges its
[00:46] (46.96s)
own homework. It says, "I think I've
[00:49] (49.04s)
done it." In reality, it hasn't really,
[00:51] (51.00s)
and you end up pulling your hair out,
[00:52] (52.20s)
and we need our hair if we can keep it.
[00:53] (53.80s)
So, what is the solution, and how is it
[00:55] (55.88s)
fixed? Well, the gauntlet loop
[00:57] (57.68s)
essentially is independent critics. Now,
[01:00] (60.72s)
this was popularized by a cool Matt
[01:02] (62.44s)
Shumer, so huge cool out to Matt. This
[01:04] (64.48s)
happened on X, and Rubber Nuggets
[01:05] (65.92s)
covered it recently, so a huge shout out
[01:07] (67.08s)
to Rubber Nuggets as well. Really
[01:08] (68.76s)
freaking cool. Now, look at what this
[01:10] (70.56s)
did in basically one shot. Check this
[01:12] (72.84s)
out. Now, this has audio, too. You can
[01:14] (74.76s)
see this was basically using this exact
[01:16] (76.92s)
technique. This is what it produced.
[01:19] (79.28s)
Now, if you spent your whole childhood
[01:20] (80.88s)
playing Call of Duty, hey, I'm not going
[01:22] (82.64s)
to say anything. I mean, we've all been
[01:23] (83.80s)
there. You'll know exactly how cool it
[01:25] (85.64s)
is and how realistic it actually can be.
[01:27] (87.88s)
We've even got Andrej Karpathy chiming
[01:29] (89.80s)
in, as you can see, basically talking
[01:31] (91.40s)
about one of the ways we can think about
[01:32] (92.60s)
our model's capability is its ability to
[01:34] (94.24s)
build these beautiful dream perspective
[01:36] (96.76s)
3D worlds in one shot. We've got Elon
[01:39] (99.00s)
Musk chiming in. All that to say, it is
[01:40] (100.76s)
very talented. And once you make it to
[01:42] (102.32s)
the end of this video, you're going to
[01:44] (104.04s)
be able to recreate in any design system
[01:46] (106.40s)
or not something that is fantastic. I
[01:48] (108.84s)
cannot wait to literally show you how
[01:51] (111.28s)
cool this is. But, the first thing we
[01:52] (112.60s)
need to do is build a design system in
[01:54] (114.68s)
Claude. This is optional, but will
[01:56] (116.76s)
really supercharge your entire system.
[01:59] (119.36s)
Now, to access this, just come over to
[02:01] (121.08s)
the cloud website, click on design in
[02:02] (122.80s)
the bottom left-hand corner, and you can
[02:04] (124.44s)
literally create your design system by
[02:05] (125.84s)
here under design systems, and then you
[02:07] (127.80s)
can create a new design system. Think of
[02:09] (129.92s)
this as having the world's best
[02:11] (131.64s)
designer, and he has at the moment what
[02:13] (133.88s)
is known as a terrible memory, something
[02:15] (135.80s)
like Forrest Gump {slash} Memento style,
[02:18] (138.08s)
and what we're going to do here is give
[02:19] (139.36s)
him a codified blueprint, typography,
[02:22] (142.24s)
graphics, everything so they understand
[02:25] (145.08s)
exactly your specific design style, and
[02:27] (147.80s)
you'll get something that looks like
[02:29] (149.00s)
this. It is brilliant, and we can use
[02:30] (150.92s)
this for everything. So, this is an
[02:32] (152.52s)
example of all I did, I gave it a
[02:34] (154.12s)
presentation. I said, "Hey, I love this
[02:35] (155.92s)
presentation, turn it into a design
[02:37] (157.96s)
system." So, action one, take any design
[02:40] (160.44s)
assets that you've got, give it to
[02:42] (162.16s)
Claude, and it will turn it for you into
[02:43] (163.84s)
a full design system. Then, once you've
[02:45] (165.96s)
done that, come over to share up the top
[02:47] (167.80s)
right, and you're going to go ahead and
[02:49] (169.16s)
export this out. Now, the reason why you
[02:51] (171.24s)
want to go ahead and export this out,
[02:52] (172.48s)
and again, you can do it as project
[02:53] (173.76s)
HTML, that's absolutely fine, because we
[02:55] (175.84s)
they can use this in Claude to actually
[02:58] (178.84s)
build something incredible using this
[03:00] (180.92s)
technique. Now, the reason why we're
[03:02] (182.20s)
going to run this outside of Claude is
[03:03] (183.84s)
purely because of the strength of this
[03:05] (185.28s)
cat technique, and it's the fact that
[03:06] (186.68s)
what we need to do is spin up what are
[03:08] (188.04s)
called fresh context critics. So,
[03:10] (190.88s)
effectively, what we're going to do is
[03:13] (193.00s)
give Claude a reference design of, "Hey,
[03:15] (195.92s)
I want it to look like this or be this,"
[03:18] (198.32s)
give it a criteria, and it's going to
[03:20] (200.16s)
spin up multiple critics who will
[03:22] (202.44s)
ruthlessly challenge Claude's design,
[03:25] (205.68s)
and it will go round in a loop, hence
[03:27] (207.32s)
the called the gauntlet loop, as Matt
[03:29] (209.40s)
showed, or the design loop, until it
[03:31] (211.40s)
reaches its end state, meaning that you
[03:33] (213.28s)
have a last back and forth, and you
[03:35] (215.12s)
don't need to keep basically coming back
[03:36] (216.92s)
and forth as much, and the first design
[03:38] (218.84s)
is way better. So, essentially, taste
[03:41] (221.84s)
becomes a checklist, and I love that. I
[03:44] (224.40s)
love my checklists, and I love taste.
[03:46] (226.44s)
You know, we've got an interview,
[03:47] (227.56s)
pre-flight, teardown the bar, build it,
[03:49] (229.16s)
it's going to have critics, it's going
[03:50] (230.44s)
to have everything. So, for example, one
[03:52] (232.16s)
critic can be the brief. So, did you do
[03:54] (234.16s)
what I asked? For example, if I say,
[03:55] (235.88s)
"Hey, I want you to a b c d e f g." Then
[03:58] (238.20s)
one critique is just saying, "Hey, did
[04:00] (240.12s)
you actually do the brief, bro?" And he
[04:02] (242.00s)
might say, "Hey, bro, no, I didn't." And
[04:04] (244.00s)
go back and change it. Then you could
[04:05] (245.48s)
have the system. So, is it really in
[04:07] (247.48s)
line with the system? And then you got
[04:09] (249.16s)
the craft. So, this could be, for
[04:10] (250.28s)
example, rendered frames and then the
[04:11] (251.60s)
code and actually judges the bar all
[04:14] (254.08s)
based dynamically on your prompt. So,
[04:16] (256.00s)
once you've created a system, you're
[04:17] (257.32s)
going to export that just like I showed
[04:18] (258.88s)
you. And the great news is I've actually
[04:20] (260.48s)
built you a skill which makes this
[04:21] (261.64s)
unbelievably easy. So, step one, export
[04:24] (264.60s)
your design system. Step two, and I've
[04:26] (266.44s)
made this so easy, is just come down and
[04:28] (268.24s)
grab the three critique skill. It
[04:30] (270.28s)
explains what the three roles are and
[04:32] (272.00s)
all you're going to do is copy this
[04:33] (273.16s)
whole page, control C. It will be the
[04:35] (275.28s)
second link in the description below.
[04:37] (277.80s)
You can grab that from my free resource
[04:39] (279.60s)
community. Again, 100% free, you can
[04:41] (281.32s)
grab it. Uh no gatekeeping at all. Then
[04:43] (283.52s)
you're going to over to Claude, open up
[04:45] (285.52s)
a brand new chat, and just say, "Hey,
[04:47] (287.12s)
turn this into a skill." And then come
[04:49] (289.24s)
down, paste the whole thing, and then
[04:50] (290.88s)
you'll be ready to go. And it will
[04:51] (291.92s)
create, once that's done, a skill which,
[04:53] (293.76s)
if you do {slash} loop, is called the
[04:55] (295.84s)
design loop. So, we're going to test
[04:57] (297.48s)
this across three levels of difficulty.
[05:00] (300.92s)
On level one, it's going to be the
[05:02] (302.76s)
carousel. So, for example, I found this
[05:04] (304.84s)
carousel earlier and I thought this was
[05:07] (307.08s)
absolutely gorgeous. And look, it's
[05:09] (309.28s)
blown up. It's got 15,000 likes on
[05:11] (311.16s)
Instagram. And let's just put it to the
[05:12] (312.80s)
test and say, "Hey, can you actually, if
[05:15] (315.36s)
I just gave you the URL, I'm not even
[05:17] (317.28s)
going to tell you anything, I'm just
[05:18] (318.96s)
going to give you the URL, can you
[05:20] (320.36s)
actually design this?" And look at this.
[05:21] (321.84s)
This is the best prompt pairing. So,
[05:23] (323.68s)
tempting to switch to
[05:25] (325.08s)
different fonts, basically. Beautiful
[05:27] (327.36s)
design. Looks gorgeous. Really love it.
[05:29] (329.36s)
Really aesthetic. And then at the end,
[05:31] (331.68s)
you can come to Paris and you get all of
[05:33] (333.20s)
these fonts for you, which is absolutely
[05:35] (335.16s)
awesome. And by the way, if this entire
[05:37] (337.16s)
thing is starting to sound a little bit
[05:38] (338.84s)
like Spanish or you want to just level
[05:40] (340.44s)
up your design game and your Claude code
[05:42] (342.08s)
game, I'm going to put a link down below
[05:43] (343.56s)
for the full Claude code masterclass
[05:45] (345.36s)
inside the community. It has stuff that
[05:47] (347.24s)
I have never shared on YouTube. I get
[05:49] (349.40s)
messages about this all the time. It has
[05:51] (351.04s)
design systems, apps, building
[05:52] (352.36s)
everything. You name it and you get
[05:53] (353.88s)
access to the full Agentic OS and like a
[05:56] (356.28s)
gargantuan other things. I'm going to
[05:57] (357.68s)
put a link down below so you can grab
[05:59] (359.32s)
that and get some serious high levels.
[06:01] (361.56s)
Now, what we're going to do is literally
[06:02] (362.88s)
copy this then head over to Claude.
[06:04] (364.52s)
You're going to open up a brand new
[06:05] (365.68s)
window and you're going to do forward
[06:06] (366.76s)
slash and you're going to go design loop
[06:08] (368.84s)
like so. And then literally just say
[06:11] (371.40s)
activate the skill, okay? And what I
[06:13] (373.40s)
might do once it's done that it'll come
[06:14] (374.88s)
back and it will ask us a couple of
[06:16] (376.36s)
questions. That's exactly how I built
[06:17] (377.84s)
the skill for you. So you're going to
[06:18] (378.72s)
throw it in and then we'll just get
[06:19] (379.80s)
started basically. So here we go. I
[06:21] (381.56s)
would like you to go ahead and I want
[06:22] (382.84s)
you to look at this URL and build me a
[06:24] (384.64s)
version of this for AI tools. So go
[06:26] (386.72s)
through the Jack Roberts YouTube channel
[06:28] (388.32s)
and find out all the tools that I
[06:29] (389.60s)
mentioned and in the same design
[06:31] (391.48s)
aesthetic, um, you know, inspired by
[06:33] (393.68s)
that design aesthetic, just do me
[06:34] (394.84s)
something covering all the top tools
[06:36] (396.32s)
that I basically built. Bam, come down,
[06:39] (399.04s)
drop this off. And also it says any
[06:40] (400.84s)
files I should work from and if you've
[06:42] (402.56s)
connected everything together in this,
[06:44] (404.80s)
it also has access to that. So be ready
[06:46] (406.44s)
to rock and roll. And then guys, look at
[06:48] (408.44s)
this, okay? I'm going to come down and
[06:50] (410.12s)
let's go through all the designs that
[06:51] (411.36s)
we've got. So seven AI tools, Claude
[06:53] (413.48s)
code, Ship 3.0 projects, ChatGPT, daily
[06:55] (415.80s)
thinking partner. This is not bad,
[06:57] (417.40s)
right? This is really cool. And again,
[06:58] (418.92s)
comment AI to get the full guide to
[07:00] (420.36s)
seven tools. But this is wild. Again,
[07:02] (422.20s)
and you just give it one prompt and it
[07:03] (423.84s)
runs and it does the whole thing. I
[07:05] (425.76s)
think this is fantastic. Now, I wouldn't
[07:07] (427.72s)
you normally go ahead and do this
[07:08] (428.80s)
because I like to do it in my own design
[07:10] (430.64s)
style and build my own things. But the
[07:12] (432.32s)
fact that I can give it a reference
[07:13] (433.60s)
image and it can go ahead and do that.
[07:15] (435.56s)
Now imagine you overlay with your own
[07:17] (437.16s)
design styles. All these are 100% unique
[07:19] (439.80s)
images and it's gone ahead and done
[07:21] (441.52s)
that. Otherwise, this would have been a
[07:23] (443.04s)
thousand back and forth. You know, I'd
[07:24] (444.96s)
start as I say with no mustache and then
[07:26] (446.64s)
by the time I'm done I'd have a huge
[07:27] (447.68s)
mustache. That's how long it can take
[07:29] (449.20s)
sometimes. Now, for the second level, I
[07:30] (450.76s)
wanted to do something with my own
[07:32] (452.32s)
design system and funnily enough it's
[07:33] (453.84s)
the exact thing that I use in all my
[07:35] (455.16s)
presentations here, uh, which is cool.
[07:37] (457.12s)
And basically I've got this design
[07:38] (458.52s)
system on Claude design. So what I'm
[07:41] (461.08s)
going to do is give it a prompt to build
[07:42] (462.64s)
me a little bit of an animation. As you
[07:44] (464.52s)
can see, same process, design loop. I'm
[07:46] (466.48s)
going to say use the below design system
[07:48] (468.08s)
and I want to make a beautiful HTML
[07:49] (469.56s)
graphic that last 10 to 15 seconds that
[07:51] (471.76s)
I can overlay with the below sentence.
[07:53] (473.56s)
The golden loop is a technique that we
[07:55] (475.12s)
can use in cool design to create
[07:56] (476.52s)
beautiful websites, presentations,
[07:58] (478.04s)
emails, HTML designs, and much more. And
[08:00] (480.40s)
you can use it in three simple steps.
[08:01] (481.84s)
Oh, and by the way, if you are new here,
[08:03] (483.16s)
my name is Jag. I built and sold my last
[08:05] (485.12s)
tech startup with like a gazillion
[08:06] (486.36s)
customers and now I'm building my own AI
[08:08] (488.16s)
startup and I share on the channel all
[08:10] (490.04s)
cool stuff that works. And one of the
[08:11] (491.44s)
reasons why I'm so passionate about
[08:13] (493.12s)
design is because in my first tech
[08:14] (494.32s)
startup, it was actually one of the
[08:15] (495.64s)
things that everybody always commented
[08:17] (497.32s)
on and it genuinely led to uh investor
[08:19] (499.80s)
conversations, it led to new clients,
[08:21] (501.68s)
and it really set the standard. So,
[08:23] (503.08s)
that's why I I really passionately
[08:24] (504.64s)
believe in it. And we have this design
[08:26] (506.16s)
and you can judge for yourself how close
[08:27] (507.72s)
you think it nailed it. But look at
[08:28] (508.76s)
this, websites, presentations, emails,
[08:30] (510.60s)
HTML designs. This is great and this is
[08:32] (512.88s)
run in the background whilst you're
[08:34] (514.28s)
talking and you can brief, build, and
[08:35] (515.76s)
critique. And if you don't like these
[08:37] (517.16s)
things, you can move them around. But
[08:38] (518.56s)
just incredible that you can use just
[08:40] (520.04s)
simply one of these things and get these
[08:41] (521.48s)
kinds of outputs. And if you're
[08:42] (522.64s)
wondering what does this cost, I'm going
[08:43] (523.92s)
to show you that as well and all the
[08:45] (525.64s)
transparency cuz I can hear your wallet
[08:47] (527.40s)
crying from through the screen right
[08:48] (528.84s)
now. So, don't worry, I'm going to tell
[08:50] (530.00s)
you exactly what this is will cost in
[08:51] (531.40s)
credits. The third one I want to show
[08:52] (532.92s)
you is the website. So, let's say I
[08:55] (535.20s)
found this really cool one here which I
[08:56] (536.60s)
think it's fantastic. So, credit to
[08:58] (538.04s)
Almont could build this. I kind of like,
[09:00] (540.08s)
you know, numbers dropping down and
[09:01] (541.92s)
moving around. Wouldn't that be really
[09:03] (543.36s)
cool? So, what we're going to do is copy
[09:04] (544.88s)
this and do the exact same process,
[09:06] (546.32s)
design loop, and let's see what it
[09:08] (548.36s)
actually comes back with. All right,
[09:09] (549.60s)
guys, here we go, 4404.
[09:12] (552.40s)
Okay, cool. And we got all the things
[09:13] (553.48s)
moving around. This is crazy and can I I
[09:15] (555.64s)
can actually do this as well. Do you
[09:16] (556.64s)
know what, guys? This has turned a
[09:18] (558.08s)
disaster into something very fun. I
[09:20] (560.36s)
mean, I might even just stop the video
[09:21] (561.92s)
and play around with this for a few
[09:22] (562.80s)
hours and see how I get on. See how many
[09:24] (564.52s)
combinations I can get. This actually
[09:26] (566.16s)
very, very freaking fun. I love this.
[09:27] (567.60s)
But again, what was the design
[09:28] (568.56s)
reference? It wasn't even a website. It
[09:30] (570.76s)
was just the idea of a website. It was
[09:32] (572.36s)
more the concept or the thought of a
[09:34] (574.24s)
website. And obviously, there's things
[09:35] (575.52s)
we could do, we can improve it. But how
[09:37] (577.40s)
amazing is that? But, let's actually see
[09:39] (579.20s)
behind the hood now cuz this is really
[09:40] (580.36s)
important in terms of what does this
[09:41] (581.36s)
cost and how do I use it and what if any
[09:44] (584.00s)
are the limitations? So, I want to make
[09:45] (585.12s)
sure you always get the full picture.
[09:46] (586.60s)
And this is its, I guess, limitation of
[09:49] (589.20s)
the kind of solution. And that's the
[09:50] (590.68s)
fact that it spent 3 million tokens.
[09:52] (592.84s)
Now, in the skill but I've given you, I
[09:54] (594.32s)
delegate it out to sort of smaller
[09:56] (596.32s)
models, but you can see how this can add
[09:58] (598.00s)
up over time. Then, for the design loop
[10:00] (600.12s)
itself, again, this had This was a
[10:01] (601.68s)
system. It was interview, pre-flight
[10:03] (603.12s)
checklist, tie down a loop. Um
[10:05] (605.40s)
basically, and it was really good how it
[10:07] (607.04s)
kind of broke everything down. It showed
[10:08] (608.48s)
the evolution, three critiques, three
[10:10] (610.24s)
blind spots covered. And this is the
[10:11] (611.52s)
issue, Claude can't grade its own
[10:13] (613.68s)
homework. You can't be the judge, the
[10:15] (615.12s)
jury, and the executioner. So, bring me
[10:17] (617.04s)
um And it just tells you what each think
[10:19] (619.20s)
or So, for example, this is why this is
[10:21] (621.24s)
so valuable. Round one, three fails, no
[10:23] (623.24s)
logos. Color breaking monochrome, loud
[10:25] (625.16s)
words underscaled. Round two, Hermes
[10:27] (627.00s)
mark was too small. Round three, lime
[10:28] (628.80s)
shape with a second accent. Round four,
[10:30] (630.52s)
and you can see there were 10 rounds to
[10:32] (632.24s)
get to this point. And the thing is, if
[10:33] (633.76s)
you give anything to Claude and say,
[10:35] (635.16s)
"Hey, what's wrong with this?" If you
[10:36] (636.72s)
ask it five times, you will get five
[10:38] (638.48s)
different answers. So, it's like each of
[10:40] (640.20s)
these critiques are looking at it 10
[10:41] (641.68s)
times before you get the result, which
[10:43] (643.40s)
is why it looked so high quality and why
[10:45] (645.56s)
I think it's so cool. And actually,
[10:47] (647.00s)
dude, honestly, in terms of the price
[10:48] (648.24s)
for this one, not too bad. So, it's
[10:50] (650.04s)
basically 730,000 Haiku tokens, which is
[10:52] (652.52s)
not too bad. And Sonnet was 1.19
[10:54] (654.20s)
million, which I think was great. And
[10:55] (655.40s)
finally, we have the Gauntlet loop. So
[10:57] (657.16s)
again, six rounds, this one took three
[10:58] (658.88s)
judges, zero mercy. We don't give any
[11:00] (660.96s)
mercy in the beautiful critical loop,
[11:03] (663.04s)
which is cool. And this one came in at
[11:04] (664.48s)
around 2 million tokens. Now, one of the
[11:06] (666.48s)
things that I'm definitely going to be
[11:07] (667.72s)
experimenting with going forward as well
[11:09] (669.20s)
is doing the same loop over a longer
[11:11] (671.00s)
period of time, maybe with like a deep
[11:13] (673.16s)
seek V4 flash or some other models.
[11:15] (675.24s)
Again, if it sounds like magic or
[11:16] (676.68s)
German, I'll put a link down below for
[11:18] (678.28s)
the masterclass. Join the community.
[11:19] (679.96s)
But, in any case, I think this system is
[11:22] (682.12s)
honestly amazing. I'm so, so impressed
[11:24] (684.68s)
with the results we got on one shot. And
[11:26] (686.40s)
so, the other good thing to bear in mind
[11:27] (687.56s)
here is that the loop can eat your
[11:29] (689.24s)
credits, which is important. So, I would
[11:31] (691.32s)
reserve this for your bigger things,
[11:33] (693.60s)
Like the things that you really want to
[11:34] (694.68s)
crush down and get ready. Like
[11:36] (696.20s)
templates, for example, that you are
[11:37] (697.64s)
then going to go and reuse. Like your
[11:38] (698.96s)
carousels or big jobs. Or, you could
[11:41] (701.84s)
actually bring in other models like a
[11:44] (704.00s)
Deep Seek V4. But, you do want the big
[11:46] (706.24s)
model to be Claude cuz he's got great
[11:48] (708.04s)
design taste. Again, one piece per
[11:49] (709.84s)
project and you can be the person who
[11:51] (711.88s)
stops it once it's gone through
[11:52] (712.92s)
automations. But, I found when it went
[11:54] (714.64s)
through rounds, it kind of ended
[11:55] (715.88s)
naturally at a great point. And so, now
[11:57] (717.36s)
we've covered this incredible skill. The
[11:58] (718.96s)
next thing that we're going to do is
[12:00] (720.28s)
learn how to leverage that skill to
[12:01] (721.80s)
build beautiful websites, which we can
[12:03] (723.60s)
do in this video right here.
