Devs using Cursor/Copilot: How do you stop AI from hallucinating component props?
by•
I've been building React apps with AI assistants for a while now, and my biggest frustration is "Context Hallucination."
You know the feeling: You ask Copilot to build a form, and it tries to use props that don't exist in your component library, or it imports components you haven't installed.
I'm curious how everyone is handling this right now:
Do you copy-paste docs into the chat every time?
Do you maintain massive .cursorrules files?
Or do you just accept that you have to fix the AI's mistakes manually?
I’m currently working on a UI library that uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to "feed" the component docs directly to the AI.
Do you think "AI-Native" libraries are the future, or is prompting enough?
