Stop Fighting with AI Tools That Don't Know Your React Components Building Next.js applications with AI coding tools should be seamless. But you ask Claude or Cursor about a shadcn/ui React component and it confidently tells you about TypeScript props that don't exist. Or suggests patterns from 2022. Or just makes stuff up entirely. Here's what's actually happening: your AI coding tool is guessing. It's working from whatever it vaguely remembers from training, not from actual React component code with TypeScript definitions.
