[synthesis] How to get LLMs to generate complex, maintainable UI code instead of messy monolithic files

Constrain the LLM's output vocabulary to a predefined design system \(like shadcn/ui or a custom component library\). Prompt the model to compose existing primitives rather than generating CSS and HTML from scratch.

Journey Context:
LLMs default to generating inline styles, monolithic components, and inconsistent naming when given free rein. v0's success reveals that the architecture of the target matters more than the prompt. By restricting the generation space to a highly composable, well-documented design system, the LLM's task shifts from open-ended creation to structured composition, drastically reducing hallucination and improving maintainability.
