I think the answer here is to not use Claude with bubble tea. I tried the same thing and got the same result. But it seems to be limited to that specific framework, because it's really good at not doing the same thing with SolidJS. |

But I will say... you have to know Golang. You have to have at least tried to make a BubbleTea app yourself and try to understand ELM architecture. You have to look at the code and increment with it.
It makes total sense for OP to switch to Rust and Ratatui if they don't know Golang well. But I don't think it's a better language for it. [Ratatui has brought me great inspiration though!]
Independent of framework, the LLMs get the spacial relationships. I say things like "the upper right panel's content is not wrapping inside and the panel's right edge should extend to the terminal edge" and the LLM will fix it. They can see the resultant text, I'm copy-pasting all the time.
TUI code is finicky; one mis-rendered component mucks everything up. The LLMs will decide themselves make little, temporary BubbleTea fixtures to help understand for itself when things aren't right.
The only real problem with LLMs and BubbleTea is that upon first prompt, they insist on using BubbleaTea v1 versus BubbleTea v2, released in December 2025. But then you just point it to the V2_UPGRADE.md and it gets back on track. That will improve as training cutoffs expand.
I vibe-coded this TUI for Mom's last night. I actually started with Grok (who started with v1) and then moved into Claude Code after some iteration:
