Prompt objective

Establish a component development and documentation environment with Storybook that serves as the single source of truth for the team's design system.

Real use case

The healthtech MedConecta has 8 frontend developers and one designer. Components are built ad-hoc without documentation, and the designer spends 30% of their time reviewing implementations that diverge from Figma. They need a functional Storybook in 3 weeks.

Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.

Prompt

Set up a complete Storybook environment for [PROJECT NAME], using React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS + [RADIX/SHADCN/HEADLESS UI].

**1) Setup and Configuration:**
- Storybook 8 with Vite builder (not Webpack)
- Essential addons: Controls, Actions, Viewport, A11y, Dark Mode
- Tailwind CSS integrated in Storybook (theme tokens)
- Global decorators configuration in `preview.ts`
- TypeScript strict mode for stories

**2) Story Structure by Component:**

For each component ([LIST OF 5-8 PRIORITY COMPONENTS]), create:
- `Default` story with all props documented via argTypes
- Story per variant (size, color, state)
- Composition story (component in real context)
- Edge case stories (long text, loading, error, empty)
- MDX documentation with usage guidelines and do/don't

**3) Automated Visual Testing:**
- Chromatic or Percy: setup and configuration
- Visual snapshot per story (baseline + diff)
- GitHub Actions integration (run on PR)
- Acceptable difference threshold
- Visual change approval workflow

**4) Interaction Testing:**
- `play` functions to simulate user interactions
- Automated accessibility tests (axe in Storybook)
- Responsiveness tests (mobile, tablet, desktop)

**5) Publishing and Consumption:**
- Automatic Storybook deployment (Chromatic or Vercel)
- Public URL for designers and PMs
- Versioning aligned with releases
- Figma integration (Storybook Connect)

**6) Team Conventions:**
- Story template for new components
- Code review checklist (story required)
- New component proposal process

Include code examples for [COMPONENT 1] and [COMPONENT 2] with complete stories.

How to use this prompt

  1. 1Replace the key placeholders first: PROJECT NAME, RADIX/SHADCN/HEADLESS UI, LIST OF 5-8 PRIORITY COMPONENTS, COMPONENT 1.
  2. 2Replace any bracketed placeholders like [this] with your own context.
  3. 3Add extra background information when you want more tailored results.
  4. 4Combine multiple prompts in one conversation when you need a richer output.
  5. 5Save your best-performing prompts so they are easy to reuse later.
