Phase 3 of building an Inkline component — author single-source Storybook stories.

  • Works in 4 steps: Meta — stories/I.ink.stories.ts → Variants → Render helpers — stories/.ink.tsx → …
  • Improving the stories for a component
  • SKILL.md covers Read first, Steps and Exit criteria
  • Calls pnpm

What it does

Stories Component is an agent skill from inkline/inkline. Phase 3 of building an Inkline component — author single-source Storybook stories. Write a defineStories meta with typed args/argTypes and per-variant render helpers as .ink.tsx; these compile to CSF3 for all 7 frameworks. Use when adding or improving the stories for a component.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering React components. It works with Storybook and pnpm. The repository describes itself as: Inkline is the intuitive UI Components library that gives you a developer-friendly foundation for building high-quality, accessible, and customizable Vue.js 3 Design Systems.

When your agent uses it

  • Improving the stories for a component
  • Tasks that involve React components

Example prompts

  • “/stories-component”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Meta — stories/I.ink.stories.ts
  2. Variants
  3. Render helpers — stories/.ink.tsx
  4. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4da55a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Stories Component loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 290 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 290 words (~1,100 tokens).

“Stories are authored once in .ink.tsx and the CLI generates CSF3 per framework into ui//.inkline/.../stories/ (generated — never hand-edit). Good stories double as living documentation and a manual a11y/visual check across targets.”
