From Storybook Workbench
Set up Storybook on a React+Vite app that has none — defer to `npx storybook ai setup`, then align viteFinal/providers/MCP and ask where stories live. Use for 'set up Storybook', 'install Storybook', or NO_STORYBOOK.

Before layering anything on top, read references/native-ai-setup-prompt.md — the
captured storybook ai setup prompt (default optimized-tests variant), with its 8 rules of
engagement, 8-step plan (discover → shared preview → portals → MSW → write ≤10 colocated stories +
one CssCheck → play discipline → batch-verify → cleanup), 5 done-when criteria, and verbatim
code examples. Our job is to NOT redo any of that — only add the under-documented align bits below.
Load references/install-wizard.md for the full align layer (load it only when you're actually
aligning a fresh storybook ai setup — Do NOT load it to answer a one-off "is my Storybook
configured right?" question; the checklist below is enough for that):
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}}/scripts/discover-runtime.py →
.storybook/runtime.json: the native Step-1 facts as ground truth (provider tree + from, root-CSS
mechanism (JS import vs index.html <link>), portal target ids, network/MSW surface). The three
bullets below come from it — verify against it, don't re-derive by reading the entry by hand.runtime.json.providers).
For a class-based dark theme (toggling .dark on <html>, colors from CSS vars), the decorator alone
isn't enough: also theme the canvas root in .storybook/preview-head.html (html, body, .sb-show-main { background: var(--color-background) } + html.dark { color-scheme: dark }), or centered stories render a
dark sliver in a white field and padded/fullscreen ones a white frame. (Snippet in install-wizard.md item 9.):root declares bare channel
triplets (--background: 0.99 0.003 234, no oklch() wrapper) under shadcn's --background/--card/…
names with no --color-* namespace reaching the iframe, the wrappers' --color-* chrome refs resolve
to nothing and every surface renders unstyled (the #1 "first run looked broken" gap on OKLCH design
systems). Detect it (dominant css-vars, channel-triplet values, no --color-background) and
auto-generate the --color-* → oklch(var(--bare)) bridge into .storybook/preview-head.html for both
modes — same place/mechanism as the canvas-root theming above. Recipe + detection in install-wizard.md item 11.@storybook/addon-mcp + .mcp.json; wire if present..storybook/manager.ts with
addons.setConfig({ showPanel: true, panelPosition: 'bottom' }) so the Controls / Actions /
Accessibility panel shows by default. Storybook ships no manager.ts; without it an accidental A
keypress (or a dragged-closed divider) persists a "panel hidden" state in localStorage and
reviewers/agents conclude the stories have no Controls. The Controls panel is where sb-stories'
argTypes surface, so this is what makes that authoring work visible. (Snippet in install-wizard.md.)@storybook/addon-themes, don't hand-roll a globalTypes.theme.
If runtime discovery finds a theme mechanism (next-themes, a class-based .dark, or data-theme),
register withThemeByClassName so the toolbar toggles the same .dark class the canvas-root theming
(item 9) and the bare-OKLCH --color-* bridge (item 11) already key off — one switch re-skins every
surface, and the wrappers' live getComputedStyle re-read fires on the flip. Without it a themed app
opens with no theme control at all (the reviewer ends up hand-adding one — the gap this closes). Add
@storybook/addon-backgrounds only if you need surface-on-surface checks. Snippet in install-wizard.md item 12.storybook init bundles
@storybook/addon-a11y (axe per story, incl. contrast); the panel-visible default above surfaces its
Accessibility panel. Verify it's in package.json and the panel shows — runtime a11y/contrast is axe's
job, so DesignSystemHealth's checks stay static (raw-hex / undefined / orphan / scale-gap),
complementary to axe, not a re-implementation of it.parameters.docs.page in preview.tsx to the standard autodocs blocks
with the UsageSection block near the top, so every component's (and Foundations/Colors /
Typography's) Docs opens with a "Real usage in this app" status band before the playground. It reads
the usage JSONs lazily (renders nothing until they exist), so it's safe to wire at setup. (Recipe +
ordering in install-wizard.md Phase 4.)storySort.order, title taxonomy, file placement;
don't impose new conventions on an established repo.install-wizard.md items 7–9): pin determinism
the app itself reads in a global beforeEach (MockDate + only the localStorage keys it reads);
Edit the init-generated preview.tsx, never overwrite it; emit exactly one CssCheck
story (a getComputedStyle proof the CSS actually loaded — the #1 silent failure otherwise); and
theme the canvas root for class-based dark themes (item 9 above).On discovery: the native prompt says "discover with Glob/Grep/Read, not shell." Our
inventory-project.sh/extract-*.sh/discover-runtime.pychain is that cached discovery — it runs once and writes JSON (project-inventory·flows·component-states·prop-shapes·page-patterns·runtime) you then Read, rather than re-grepping per call. Never re-derive by shell scan what a script already wrote to.storybook/*.json— cite the JSON field.
Everything the bundle writes goes under .storybook/ (CONTEXT.md STORAGE MAP) so a client repo stays
clean. The one choice is where stories live — and you must ask the user, because writing
Foo.stories.tsx next to every component scatters files through a src/ you may not own (a real demo
miss). Use AskUserQuestion (Claude) / request_user_input (Codex), or a numbered list if no blocking
tool exists — never silently pick:
Where should I save the stories? (everything else already lives under
.storybook/.)
.storybook/stories/(default — recommended for an audit / client / messy repo) — keepssrc/untouched; the whole audit is one removable folder.- Co-located —
src/**/<Name>.stories.tsx(opt in — for a project you own long-term) — Storybook's general convention; stories move with components.- A custom folder (you name it — still one place; configured into
main.ts).
.storybook/stories/ is the default: if the user doesn't pick, or it's clearly a client/messy
repo, choose it — never co-locate silently (that's the scatter we're avoiding). Then configure
main.ts stories to match (.storybook/stories/ → add './stories/**/*.stories.@(tsx|ts)'
relative to .storybook/; a custom path → add its glob; keep the @/ alias so stories import cleanly),
and record the choice in .storybook/audit/status.md as storiesLocation: isolated|colocated|PATH.
sb-stories and sb-hub read that and never re-ask.
Already had Storybook? This ask still has to happen — if
sb-setupis skipped because Storybook is present, the firstsb-storiesrun asks instead (it refuses to write a story to an unconfirmed location). Decide it once, up front, so nothing scatters.
Once Storybook is present, run sb-inventory to discover real-vs-slop before authoring.
