SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

React Native teams waste time and inconsistency writing Storybook stories, making component testing and documentation unreliable.

Core Features & Use Cases

CSF-based Story Authoring: Create .stories.tsx using Meta and StoryObj patterns compatible with @storybook/react-native v10.
Prop Controls & Addon Configuration: Define args, argTypes, parameters, and addons (controls, actions, backgrounds, notes) so stories are interactive and documented.
Reusable Story Patterns & Testing: Reuse story definitions in Jest via composeStories/composeStory to validate UI behavior with consistent props.
Use Case: When you add a new UI component, you can create a set of stories (primary/secondary, with different layouts, and with mocked callbacks) that doubles as living documentation and test fixtures.

Quick Start

Create a ComponentName.stories.tsx file that exports a typed meta default using satisfies Meta and then add one or more named Story objects using StoryObj and args.
