The promise is intoxicating: AI coding tools that boost developer productivity by up to 55%. The reality is more sobering. While generative AI can dramatically accelerate code creation, recent research reveals it's simultaneously creating a new category of technical debt that compounds faster than traditional development approaches, often remaining invisible until systems begin to fail.
The challenge of constraining AI-generated CSS to follow design systems has led to sophisticated approaches using multi-level design token hierarchies. Rather than allowing LLMs to generate arbitrary CSS values, these systems create structured constraints that force AI tools to select from predefined, semantically meaningful tokens.
