## What it does

This skill initializes Storybook for a selected framework and adds configuration for controls, actions, accessibility checks, and visual regression. It defines story and MDX discovery paths, enables autodocs, and includes `public` as a static directory.

The setup uses `.storybook/main.ts` and `.storybook/preview.ts` for framework, theme, viewport, background, and TypeScript settings. Component examples follow CSF3 and can cover variants and states. Choose a framework during initialization: the provided commands cover `react`, `nextjs`, and `vue3`.

# Storybook Setup

Configure Storybook for comprehensive component documentation and testing.

## Core Workflow

1. **Initialize Storybook**: Setup with framework
2. **Configure addons**: Controls, actions, a11y
3. **Write stories**: Document components
4. **Add documentation**: MDX pages
5. **Setup testing**: Visual regression
6. **Deploy docs**: Static hosting

## Installation

```bash
# Initialize Storybook
npx storybook@latest init

# Or with specific framework
npx storybook@latest init --type react
npx storybook@latest init --type nextjs
npx storybook@latest init --type vue3
```

## Configuration

### Main Configuration
