[synthesis] How to prevent LLMs from hallucinating invalid CSS and UI code in generation products?

Constrain the LLM's output space by forcing it to generate UI using a predefined, validated component library \(like shadcn/ui\) and utility framework \(Tailwind\) rather than arbitrary CSS or HTML.

Journey Context:
When generating UI, LLMs frequently invent non-existent CSS classes or produce inconsistent designs if given free rein. v0's architecture solves this by heavily biasing the system prompt and fine-tuning towards Tailwind and shadcn/ui. This isn't just a UX preference; it's an architectural constraint that drastically reduces the syntax error rate. By mapping the generation task to a known set of composable primitives, the agent can guarantee compilability and visual consistency, shifting the problem from 'inventing styles' to 'composing existing styles'.
