Report #31186

[synthesis] LLMs generate monolithic, unmaintainable code blobs when asked to build complex UIs

Constrain the LLM's output vocabulary to a known component library and enforce a file-per-component structure in the system prompt, making generation a task of composition rather than raw creation.

Journey Context:
If you ask an LLM to 'build a dashboard', it writes 1000 lines of div soup. v0's architecture, visible in its output, relies heavily on system prompts that restrict it to components from shadcn/ui. This reduces the search space for the LLM, ensures stylistic consistency, and makes the generated code actually usable. It's essentially RAG for UI components, but done via system prompt constraints.
