storybook-chromatic-builder

storybook-chromatic-builder is a skill for Claude Code from jrpease/throughline. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,888 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for building the code side of a component library. It connects real components to design tokens, documents them in Storybook, checks visual changes with Chromatic, and can link Figma components to code with Code Connect.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for setting up Storybook in the UI package, consuming generated token files, creating component stories, running visual regression checks, and connecting Figma components to code when available.
Why use it?
It lets developers see, document, and review reusable interface components while keeping their implementation connected to the design system.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

storybook-chromatic-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Storybook + Chromatic builder

Builds the code half of the component library: real components consuming the synced tokens, stories documenting them, Chromatic for visual regression, and Code Connect tying Figma to code when available.

Calibrate + prerequisites

Read user.codingLevel (.throughline/references/coding-level.md) and scale explanation. This skill needs:

  • A repo with the monorepo scaffold (repository-builder, at least local-git). Offer to run it if missing.
  • Synced tokens in packages/tokens (token-sync-layer) so components consume real token files. Offer to run sync if missing.
  • Figma components (components.built) with their slot contracts, so stories reflect the real component APIs.

Strongly recommend github stage so Chromatic's CI integration works; it can be set up locally first and wired to CI when the remote exists.

Step 1 — Stand up Storybook

Initialize Storybook in packages/ui (or the components package), configured for the framework the tokens were synced for (e.g. React + Vite for a shadcn/Tailwind system). Wire it to consume packages/tokens output so stories render with the real design tokens (import the generated CSS/theme). Checkpoint: confirm Storybook runs and shows the token-themed canvas.

Install the documentation scripts alongside the token scripts: copy the seven files and register the four npm scripts listed under Documentation scripts — install as a set in .throughline/scripts/README.md. adherence:check needs the repo's own values substituted in — the UI package's specifier for --package, and paths for --root/--system that match this repo's layout; registering it with the table's placeholders leaves a script that cannot run. That table is the single source of truth for what a consuming repo gets; do not restate the list here.

These are the documentation analog of tokens:validate; see .throughline/scripts/README.md. This copy is setup, not a forever-fork: /document-component re-checks these files' freshness on every run and refreshes them from the plugin when it has moved on.
