[synthesis] How to prevent LLMs from generating inconsistent or broken UI code

Constrain the LLM's output vocabulary by forcing it to compose from a predefined, tested component library \(like shadcn/ui\) rather than generating raw HTML/CSS. Map user intent to component APIs in the system prompt.

Journey Context:
LLMs struggle with visual consistency and CSS specificity when generating raw UI code from scratch, often producing brittle, unresponsive layouts. v0's observable output—almost exclusively relying on shadcn/ui primitives—reveals a task decomposition strategy: instead of asking the model to solve the hard problem of visual design from scratch, constrain it to solve the easier problem of API composition. This shifts the burden of 'how it looks' to the component library and lets the LLM focus on 'what it does', drastically improving compile-and-render success rates.
