Describe states, props, and interaction model — not visual styling — and AI produces components that fit your system instead of fighting it.
11 min · Reviewed 2026
The premise
Pixel-perfect prompts produce throwaway code. Behavior-and-states prompts produce components that integrate with your design system, where styling is the cheap last step.
What AI does well here
Enumerate visual states from a list (loading, empty, error, success)
Wire props and event handlers to a stated contract
Match accessibility patterns when explicitly named
What AI cannot do
Infer your design tokens from a screenshot alone
Decide which interactions need keyboard support
Match brand voice in microcopy without examples
