TEAM RESOURCE / THE TDP TOOLKIT

Make the case for Storybook

A free 13-slide presentation to explain Storybook, connect component documentation to AI through Storybook MCP, and propose a pilot with your team. Includes editable HTML and PDF.

How TDP uses it

Share the deck with design, product, and engineering. Review your existing Storybook, explain the MCP connection, and customize the pilot proposal with your feature, owners, and review criteria.

Usage note adapted from the original TDP skills collection. Activation and available tools depend on the agent host and installed version.

Start with what your team already has

Ask engineering whether a Storybook already exists. Review how current it is and whether the examples match production components before proposing a new setup.

Explain the AI connection

Use the deck to connect component implementation, stories, usage guidance, and tokens. Storybook MCP gives an agent structured access to documentation; project rules tell it to consult that context. Human review remains part of the workflow.

Bring a concrete proposal

Download the editable HTML, open it in your browser, and customize the pilot with a real feature, owners, and review criteria. Save your changes or share the PDF with the team.

Put the resource to work

1. Start with one concrete task

Bring: Your existing component library, current Storybook setup, and one feature to discuss with design and engineering.

First task: Use the 13-slide presentation to explain Storybook and its MCP connection, then adapt the pilot proposal to your team.

Choose one component, screen, or team workflow to improve. Gather the existing decisions and write down the question you want this resource to help answer.

2. Open the source material

Open the original guide or presentation ↗

Use the original walkthrough alongside your project. Its existing access flow remains available on the original page.

3. Apply it with your project context

Follow the material in sequence and replace examples with your own product context. Record decisions as you go so another teammate can understand why the result changed.

4. Review the result

Confirm engineering has reviewed the existing setup, component documentation is accessible to the agent, and the pilot has owners and review criteria.

Compare the output with the task’s acceptance criteria. Check factual claims, unsupported assumptions, and any changes to the interface. For code or design changes, review real states and behavior before treating the result as finished.

5. Keep what works

Save approved outputs with their source and ownership. Note which instructions helped, where the result needed correction, and what must be checked next time. Use the workflow below to connect this task to its next step.

Completion checklist

  • The inputs and intended result are explicit.
  • Required files and tools are available in the chosen host.
  • The result has been reviewed against the actual task.
  • Limitations and follow-up checks are recorded.
