[synthesis] How to get LLMs to generate reliable UI code zero-shot

Constrain generation to a strict subset of components \(e.g., shadcn/ui \+ Tailwind\), render the output in a sandbox, and feed any render errors back into the LLM for an automatic correction loop before showing the user.

Journey Context:
Zero-shot UI generation often produces broken layouts or invalid syntax. v0's architecture, inferred from its iterative generation process and component library constraints, reveals a 'render-then-fix' loop. It doesn't just generate code; it generates code using a known set of primitives, attempts to render it server-side, and if it fails, feeds the error back. This shifts the burden from the model's internal reasoning to an external verification loop, which is much more reliable.
