What it does
Storybook Init is an agent skill from sanity-io/sanity, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when adding Storybook to a project that does not have Storybook configured yet.
Its SKILL.md is about 150 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. It works with Storybook. The repository describes itself as: Sanity Studio – Rapidly configure content workspaces powered by structured content. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Adding Storybook to a project that does not have Storybook configured yet
Example prompts
- “/storybook-init”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run npm create storybook@latest inside your project's root directory to install the latest version of Storybook. Use the matching…
- After initialization succeeds, run npx storybook add @storybook/addon-mcp.
- Invoke the /storybook-setup skill to help the user set up project-specific Storybook configuration, such as the .storybook/preview.ts file.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit efa15fb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npmpnpmyarnnpx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, pnpm, yarn and npx, 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
Storybook Init loads about 150 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 61 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.
