UI Prototype to Code
The problem with AI-generated UI is that it looks right while components, states and responsiveness are improvised. This skill fixes the design system and states first, then generates and verifies item by item.
Workflow
- 2
Cover every state
Specify default, hover, focus, disabled, loading, empty and error states for each component. AI usually generates only the default state; the state list is your acceptance criteria.
- 3
Generate maintainable code
Require reuse of project components and utilities, no new UI library; type the data and isolate interactions into functions. Run lint, type-check and build before visual tweaks.

FAQ
Can AI-generated frontend ship directly?
No. Add states, types, error handling and accessibility, and test with real data and a build. AI output is a first draft.
Should I use v0 or Cursor?
v0 is good for exploring visual directions; Cursor is better for constrained changes inside an existing codebase. Fix the system first, then choose the tool.
