๐Ÿ“– Usage Examples

๐ŸŽฏ Complete Walkthrough: From Raw Request to Implementation

Scenario: You need a button that opens a dropdown menu.

Step 1: Optimize Your Raw Request

# In Claude Code (works in ANY project with Design System MCP!)
User: "Use optimize-prompt to transform this request: I need a button that opens a dropdown menu"

Claude calls mcp__design-system__optimize-prompt and returns:

# Original Prompt
I need a button that opens a dropdown menu

# Analysis
- Language: English
- Intent: implement
- Components: InButtonV2, InDropdownMenu
- Complexity: medium
- Estimated Token Savings: ~24,000 tokens

# Optimized Prompt
I need to implement InButtonV2 and InDropdownMenu components with proper integration.

Please use the Design System MCP to:

1. Get documentation for both components
   - Tool: mcp__design-system__get-component
   - Components: InButtonV2, InDropdownMenu
   - Note: Markdown format saves ~87% tokens on average

2. Generate implementation code
   - Tool: mcp__design-system__generate-code
   - Include integration between components

Requirements:
- Primary styling for main actions
- Dropdown opens below trigger element
- Proper state management between components

Show me:
โœ… Which components you're using
โœ… Token savings from Markdown format for each component
โœ… The generated Vue code
โœ… Integration example showing how components work together

Step 2: Use the Optimized Prompt

User: "Now use the optimized prompt above to implement the button + dropdown"

Claude executes:

  1. Gets InButtonV2 docs (Markdown format)

    • Original: 55KB JSON โ†’ 6.6KB Markdown

    • Token savings: 88% (~12,198 tokens)

  2. Gets InDropdownMenu docs (Markdown format)

    • Original: 36KB JSON โ†’ 4.8KB Markdown

    • Token savings: 87% (~8,214 tokens)

  3. Generates integrated Vue code:

<template>
  <div class="button-dropdown-container">
    <InButtonV2
      id="actions-button"
      :type="TYPES.PRIMARY"
      :styling="STYLES.SOLID"
      label-text="Actions"
      @click="toggleDropdown"
    />

    <InDropdownMenu
      v-if="isOpen"
      :items="menuItems"
      @item-click="handleItemClick"
      @close="isOpen = false"
    />
  </div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue';
import { InButtonV2, InDropdownMenu } from '@useinsider/design-system-vue';
import '@useinsider/design-system-vue/dist/design-system-vue.css';

const isOpen = ref(false);

const menuItems = [
  { id: 'export', label: 'Export Data', icon: 'download' },
  { id: 'share', label: 'Share Report', icon: 'share' },
  { id: 'settings', label: 'Settings', icon: 'settings' },
];

const toggleDropdown = () => {
  isOpen.value = !isOpen.value;
};

const handleItemClick = (item: any) => {
  console.log('Clicked:', item.id);
  isOpen.value = false;
};
</script>

Summary

Total token savings: ~20,412 tokens (87.5% reduction) Time saved: Claude uses the right tools in the right order Quality: Proper integration, best practices included


๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tips

Always optimize raw requests first:

โŒ Don't do this:

User: "I need a button"

Claude searches through code files, wastes time.

โœ… Do this:

User: "Use optimize-prompt: I need a button"

Claude gets optimized prompt โ†’ Uses MCP tools โ†’ Fast & accurate implementation.

Works everywhere:

  • โœ… analytics-fe project

  • โœ… marketing-web project

  • โœ… customer-portal project

  • โœ… ANY project with Design System MCP configured


๐ŸŽฏ Quick Reference: optimize-prompt

// Debug issue
mcp__design-system__optimize-prompt("InSelect not working, showing errors")

// Learning
mcp__design-system__optimize-prompt("how to use InTooltipV2?")

Get Component Details

๐Ÿ”„ Update Workflow

When Design System Changes

# 1. Pull latest Design System
cd /path/to/insider-design-system
git pull

# 2. Re-extract metadata
cd /path/to/design-system-mcp
npm run extract:all          # ~5 minutes

# 3. Rebuild MCP server
npm run build

# 4. Test
npm run test:production

# 5. Commit (optional)
git add data/combined.json
git commit -m "chore: update component metadata"
git push

# Claude Desktop will auto-reload! โœ…

Before: 2-3 hours manual work Now: 5 minutes automated! ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ’ก Key Innovations

1. Automated Extraction

No more manual JSON editing. Parser reads Vue files directly.

2. Enum Resolution

// Source: const STYLES = { SOLID: 'solid', GHOST: 'ghost' }
// Extracted: enums: [{ name: "STYLES", values: {...} }]
// Runtime: validValues: ["solid", "ghost", "text"] โœ…

3. Real Usage Intelligence

Scans analytics-fe for common mistakes:

{
  "mistake": "Using number for iconSize",
  "occurrences": 12,
  "fix": "Use string: icon-size=\"24\"",
  "severity": "critical"
}

4. Layered Enrichment

Auto-extracted (100% coverage)
    +
Manual enrichments (critical details)
    =
Best of both worlds! โœ…

๐Ÿ“Š Data Quality

Components: 62 (100% coverage)
Props: 1,087 (with types, defaults, validators)
Enums: 30 (automatically detected)
Emits: 170
Manual Enrichments: 3 (InButtonV2, InDatePickerV2, InSelect)
Migration Guides: 1
File Size: 209 KB (combined.json)

Adding New Enrichments

Option 1: Use enrichment-maker agent (Recommended)

# Let AI generate enrichment for you
# In Claude Code: "Use enrichment-maker agent to create enrichment for InTooltipV2"

# Agent analyzes component and creates:
# - valueFormat for complex props
# - commonMistakes documentation
# - Real-world examples
# - Helper functions

# Then merge and build:
npm run extract:merge
npm run build

Option 2: Manual creation

# 1. Create enrichment file
touch src/registry/enrichments/InTooltipV2.json

# 2. Add detailed metadata
# (See existing enrichments: InButtonV2, InDatePickerV2, InSelect)

# 3. Rebuild
npm run extract:merge
npm run build
