[synthesis] How to get LLMs to generate consistent and functional UI code without hallucinating non-existent libraries

Constrain the LLM's output space by providing a strict system prompt that mandates the use of a specific, well-documented component library and utility framework, rather than allowing it to invent arbitrary CSS or HTML structures.

Journey Context:
LLMs are terrible at generating cohesive, visually consistent UI from scratch because the space of possible HTML/CSS is too vast and the aesthetic requirements are high. v0's success comes from extreme constraint: it doesn't write raw CSS or generic React; it composes pre-existing, known-good primitives. This shifts the LLM's task from 'design and implement' to 'compose and arrange', drastically reducing the error rate and ensuring the output is immediately usable.
