Why do I need a specific skill for desktop Storybook development?

Standard Storybook environments often crash when encountering native modules; this skill provides the abstraction layers needed to develop desktop UIs in a browser context.

How does this skill handle Electron's iframe limitations?

It provides guidance on the Container/Presentational pattern, allowing you to test pure UI components in Storybook while isolating Electron-specific IPC logic in containers.

Does it support automated testing?

Absolutely. It outlines testing strategies using Vitest for logic and Playwright for full application E2E flows in native environments.

Is this skill compatible with Storybook 9?

Yes, it is specifically optimized for Storybook 9 and integrates with the modern Storybook architecture.

Can I use this to mock Tauri commands in my stories?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for creating mock providers and decorators that intercept Tauri API calls within the Storybook environment.

Design Tools

Optimizes Storybook development for desktop applications by providing platform-specific architectural patterns and IPC mocking for Tauri and Electron.

About

This skill empowers developers to build, test, and document UI components for desktop environments using Storybook 9 within the Claude Code ecosystem. It bridges the gap between web-based Storybook and native desktop runtimes like Tauri and Electron by offering pre-configured IPC mocking patterns, dependency injection strategies, and architectural guidance. Whether you are leveraging Tauri's full compatibility or navigating Electron's iframe limitations, this skill ensures your design system remains robust, testable, and isolated from native platform dependencies during development.
