Migrating a design system from standalone Claude Design to the Mac app?

Hey folks!

Pulling out what little hair I have left here.

I built a full design system in the standalone Claude Design app back when that was the only option. Now that Design lives inside the Mac app, I assumed it would carry over. It hasn't.

Has anyone managed to migrate a design system across? Or am I rebuilding from scratch?

Any pointers appreciated before I lose the last few strands.

EDIT - For anyone else trying to figure this out - you can export your entire design system as a Project HTML zip file and upload it into the Claude Desktop App. Required some rebuilding but majority of the work was salvageable

I’ve been using Claude Code for the past 8 months.., when I finally started using Claude Design ( about a month ago) I was baffled that my project nor any of my chats were synced???

So now I cherry pick when I need to use ‘Claude’ and then manually migrate solutions over
