Component Library Scaffolding

I'll help you set up a complete component library with Storybook, testing, documentation, and build configuration.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS - library type or framework (e.g., "react", "vue", "web-components", "storybook")

Strategic Planning Process

  1. Framework Selection

    • React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Web Components?
    • TypeScript or JavaScript?
    • What's the target environment? (browser, Node.js, both)
    • Design system or utility components?
  2. Build & Distribution

    • How will components be bundled? (Rollup, Vite, esbuild)
    • What formats? (ESM, CJS, UMD)
    • Tree-shaking support needed?
    • CSS bundling strategy
    • Type definitions generation
  3. Documentation & Development

    • Storybook for component showcase
    • Documentation site (Docusaurus, VitePress, etc.)
    • Live playground/examples
    • Design tokens documentation
    • Accessibility guidelines
  4. Quality Assurance

    • Unit testing (Jest, Vitest)
    • Visual regression testing (Chromatic)
    • Accessibility testing (axe, jest-axe)
    • Build validation
    • Bundle size tracking
  5. Publishing Strategy

    • npm package setup
    • Versioning strategy (semantic versioning)
    • Changelog generation
    • CI/CD for releases

Phase 1: Project Detection & Setup

MANDATORY FIRST STEPS:

  1. Detect existing project or create new structure
  2. Identify framework and build tool preferences
  3. Determine component library scope
  4. Check for existing Storybook installation

Let me analyze your project:

# Detect framework and setup
echo "=== Component Library Setup Analysis ==="

# Check for existing framework
FRAMEWORK=""
if grep -q "\"react\"" package.json 2>/dev/null; then
    FRAMEWORK="React"
    echo "Detected: React"
elif grep -q "\"vue\"" package.json 2>/dev/null; then
    FRAMEWORK="Vue"
    echo "Detected: Vue"
elif grep -q "@angular/core" package.json 2>/dev/null; then
    FRAMEWORK="Angular"
    echo "Detected: Angular"
elif grep -q "\"svelte\"" package.json 2>/dev/null; then
    FRAMEWORK="Svelte"
    echo "Detected: Svelte"
else
    echo "No framework detected - will set up for your choice"
fi

# Check for TypeScript
if [ -f "tsconfig.json" ]; then
    echo "TypeScript: ✓"
else
    echo "TypeScript: ✗"
fi

# Check for Storybook
if [ -d ".storybook" ]; then
    echo "Storybook: Already installed"
    ls -la .storybook/
else
    echo "Storybook: Not installed (will configure)"
fi

# Check for build tools
if [ -f "vite.config.js" ] || [ -f "vite.config.ts" ]; then
    echo "Build tool: Vite"
elif [ -f "rollup.config.js" ]; then
    echo "Build tool: Rollup"
elif [ -f "webpack.config.js" ]; then
    echo "Build tool: Webpack"
else
    echo "Build tool: None detected (will configure)"
fi

# Check for existing components
if [ -d "src/components" ]; then
    echo ""
    echo "Existing components:"
    find src/components -type f -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.jsx" -o -name "*.vue" 2>/dev/null | head -10
fi

Phase 2: Component Library Structure

I'll create a comprehensive component library structure:

Directory Structure:

Phase 3: Storybook Setup

I'll configure Storybook for component development:

Install Storybook:

# Initialize Storybook (auto-detects framework)
npx storybook@latest init

# Or manual installation for specific framework
npm install --save-dev @storybook/react @storybook/react-vite
npm install --save-dev @storybook/addon-essentials @storybook/addon-a11y
npm install --save-dev @storybook/addon-interactions @storybook/test

Storybook Configuration (.storybook/main.ts):

import type { StorybookConfig } from '@storybook/react-vite';

const config: StorybookConfig = {
  stories: ['../src/**/*.mdx', '../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|ts|tsx)'],
  addons: [
    '@storybook/addon-essentials',
    '@storybook/addon-a11y',
    '@storybook/addon-interactions',
    '@storybook/addon-links',
  ],
  framework: {
    name: '@storybook/react-vite',
    options: {},
  },
  docs: {
    autodocs: 'tag',
  },
  staticDirs: ['../public'],
};

export default config;

Storybook Preview (.storybook/preview.ts):

import type { Preview } from '@storybook/react';
import '../src/styles/global.css';

const preview: Preview = {
  parameters: {
    actions: { argTypesRegex: '^on[A-Z].*' },
    controls: {
      matchers: {
        color: /(background|color)$/i,
        date: /Date$/,
      },
    },
    backgrounds: {
      default: 'light',
      values: [
        { name: 'light', value: '#ffffff' },
        { name: 'dark', value: '#1a1a1a' },
      ],
    },
  },
};

export default preview;

Phase 4: Component Templates

I'll create example component templates:

Button Component (src/components/Button/Button.tsx):

import React from 'react';
import styles from './Button.module.css';

export interface ButtonProps
  extends React.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> {
  /**
   * Button variant
   */
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'outline';
  /**
   * Button size
   */
  size?: 'small' | 'medium' | 'large';
  /**
   * Loading state
   */
  loading?: boolean;
  /**
   * Full width button
   */
  fullWidth?: boolean;
}

/**
 * Primary UI component for user interaction
 */
export const Button = React.forwardRef<HTMLButtonElement, ButtonProps>(
  (
    {
      variant = 'primary',
      size = 'medium',
      loading = false,
      fullWidth = false,
      children,
      disabled,
      className,
      ...props
    },
    ref
  ) => {
    const classes = [
      styles.button,
      styles[variant],
      styles[size],
      fullWidth && styles.fullWidth,
      className,
    ]
      .filter(Boolean)
      .join(' ');

    return (
      <button
        ref={ref}
        className={classes}
        disabled={disabled || loading}
        {...props}
      >
        {loading ? <span className={styles.spinner} /> : children}
      </button>
    );
  }
);

Button.displayName = 'Button';

Button Stories (src/components/Button/Button.stories.tsx):

import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/react';
import { Button } from './Button';

const meta = {
  title: 'Components/Button',
  component: Button,
  parameters: {
    layout: 'centered',
  },
  tags: ['autodocs'],
  argTypes: {
    variant: {
      control: 'select',
      options: ['primary', 'secondary', 'outline'],
    },
    size: {
      control: 'select',
      options: ['small', 'medium', 'large'],
    },
  },
} satisfies Meta<typeof Button>;

export default meta;
type Story = StoryObj<typeof meta>;

export const Primary: Story = {
  args: {
    variant: 'primary',
    children: 'Button',
  },
};

export const Secondary: Story = {
  args: {
    variant: 'secondary',
    children: 'Button',
  },
};

export const Large: Story = {
  args: {
    size: 'large',
    children: 'Large Button',
  },
};

export const Loading: Story = {
  args: {
    loading: true,
    children: 'Loading...',
  },
};

export const Disabled: Story = {
  args: {
    disabled: true,
    children: 'Disabled',
  },
};

Button Test (src/components/Button/Button.test.tsx):

import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { Button } from './Button';

describe('Button', () => {
  it('renders children correctly', () => {
    render(<Button>Click me</Button>);
    expect(screen.getByText('Click me')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  it('applies variant class', () => {
    render(<Button variant="secondary">Button</Button>);
    const button = screen.getByRole('button');
    expect(button).toHaveClass('secondary');
  });

  it('handles click events', async () => {
    const handleClick = vi.fn();
    render(<Button onClick={handleClick}>Click</Button>);

    await userEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button'));
    expect(handleClick).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
  });

  it('disables button when loading', () => {
    render(<Button loading>Loading</Button>);
    expect(screen.getByRole('button')).toBeDisabled();
  });

  it('disables button when disabled prop is true', () => {
    render(<Button disabled>Disabled</Button>);
    expect(screen.getByRole('button')).toBeDisabled();
  });
});

Phase 5: Build Configuration

I'll set up build configuration for library distribution:

Vite Config (vite.config.ts):

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
import { resolve } from 'path';
import dts from 'vite-plugin-dts';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    react(),
    dts({
      insertTypesEntry: true,
      include: ['src/**/*'],
      exclude: ['**/*.test.tsx', '**/*.stories.tsx'],
    }),
  ],
  build: {
    lib: {
      entry: resolve(__dirname, 'src/index.ts'),
      name: 'ComponentLibrary',
      formats: ['es', 'cjs'],
      fileName: (format) => `index.${format === 'es' ? 'mjs' : 'cjs'}`,
    },
    rollupOptions: {
      external: ['react', 'react-dom'],
      output: {
        globals: {
          react: 'React',
          'react-dom': 'ReactDOM',
        },
        assetFileNames: 'assets/[name][extname]',
        chunkFileNames: 'chunks/[name].[hash].js',
      },
    },
    sourcemap: true,
    emptyOutDir: true,
  },
  css: {
    modules: {
      localsConvention: 'camelCase',
    },
  },
});

Package.json Configuration:

    "vite": "^5.0.0",
    "vite-plugin-dts": "^3.7.0",
    "vitest": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

TypeScript Configuration (tsconfig.json):

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2020",
    "useDefineForClassFields": true,
    "lib": ["ES2020", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"],

    }
  },
  "include": ["src"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "dist", "**/*.stories.tsx", "**/*.test.tsx"]
}

Phase 6: Documentation Setup

I'll create comprehensive documentation:

README.md:

**Getting Started Guide (docs/getting-started.md):**
```markdown
# Getting Started

## Installation

Install the component library in your React project:

```bash
npm install @your-org/component-library

Basic Setup

Import components and styles:

import { Button, Input, Card } from '@your-org/component-library';
import '@your-org/component-library/styles';

TypeScript Support

The library is written in TypeScript and includes type definitions:

import type { ButtonProps } from '@your-org/component-library';

const MyButton: React.FC<{ onClick: () => void }> = ({ onClick }) => {
  return <Button variant="primary" onClick={onClick}>Click</Button>;
};

Theming

Customize component styles with CSS variables:

:root {
  --primary-color: #007bff;
  --secondary-color: #6c757d;
  --border-radius: 4px;
}

Next Steps

  • Browse components in Storybook
  • Read component documentation
  • Check out examples

## Token Optimization

**Status:** ✅ Fully Optimized (Phase 2 Batch 4B, 2026-01-27)

**Target:** 70-85% reduction (4,000-6,000 → 800-1,500 tokens)

### Optimization Strategies

**1. Template-Based Scaffolding (80% savings)**
```typescript
// Cache structure in .claude/cache/component_library/
{
  "framework_templates": {
    "react": {
      "button": "prebuilt template",
      "input": "prebuilt template",
      "card": "prebuilt template"
    },
    "vue": { /* ... */ },
    "angular": { /* ... */ }
  },
  "directory_structure": {
    "react": ["src/components", "src/hooks", "src/utils", ".storybook"],
    // ...
  }
}

Before (4,000+ tokens):

# Detect framework
grep -r "react" package.json
# Read package.json
cat package.json
# Read tsconfig.json
cat tsconfig.json
# Check for Storybook
ls -la .storybook/
cat .storybook/main.ts
# Check existing components
find src/components -type f
cat src/components/Button/Button.tsx
# ... many more reads

After (800 tokens):

# Single framework detection with cached template
if grep -q "\"react\"" package.json 2>/dev/null; then
  # Use cached React template - no reads needed
  TEMPLATE="react"
elif grep -q "\"vue\"" package.json 2>/dev/null; then
  TEMPLATE="vue"
fi

# Apply template directly - no verification reads

2. Framework Detection Cache (90% savings)

  • Detect framework ONCE, cache the result
  • All subsequent operations use cached framework choice
  • No repeated package.json reads

Before (2,000 tokens):

# Phase 1: Detect framework
cat package.json | grep "react"
# Phase 2: Detect framework again
cat package.json | grep "react"
# Phase 3: Detect framework yet again
cat package.json | grep "react"

After (200 tokens):

# Detect once, use cache
FRAMEWORK=$(grep -q "\"react\"" package.json && echo "react" || echo "vue")
# Store in .claude/cache/component_library/config.json
# All subsequent operations: read cache

3. Batch File Generation (75% savings)

  • Generate ALL component files in ONE pass
  • Use Write tool for multiple files sequentially
  • NO verification reads after generation

Before (3,000+ tokens):

# Generate Button.tsx
cat > Button.tsx << 'EOF'
...
EOF
# Read back to verify
cat Button.tsx

# Generate Button.test.tsx
cat > Button.test.tsx << 'EOF'
...
EOF
# Read back to verify
cat Button.test.tsx

# Generate Button.stories.tsx
# ... repeat for EVERY file

After (750 tokens):

# Generate all Button files in sequence - NO reads
# Write tool: Button.tsx
# Write tool: Button.test.tsx
# Write tool: Button.stories.tsx
# Write tool: Button.module.css
# Write tool: index.ts
# Trust template generation - no verification needed

4. No Verification Reads (85% savings)

  • Trust template generation
  • Skip reading back generated files
  • Only report what was created

Before (5,000+ tokens):

# Generate component
cat > Button.tsx << 'EOF'
...
EOF

# Verify it was created correctly
cat Button.tsx  # 1,000+ tokens

# Generate story
cat > Button.stories.tsx << 'EOF'
...
EOF

# Verify story
cat Button.stories.tsx  # 1,000+ tokens

After (750 tokens):

# Generate all files - NO verification
# Report: "✓ Created Button.tsx (component)"
# Report: "✓ Created Button.stories.tsx (story)"
# Report: "✓ Created Button.test.tsx (test)"
# NO reads - trust the templates

5. Cached Storybook Config (80% savings)

  • Pre-cached Storybook configurations for each framework
  • NO reads of Storybook documentation
  • Direct template application

Cache structure:

{
  "storybook_configs": {
    "react": {
      "main.ts": "prebuilt config",
      "preview.ts": "prebuilt config",
      "dependencies": ["@storybook/react", "@storybook/react-vite"]
    },
    "vue": { /* ... */ }
  }
}

Before (3,000+ tokens):

# Check Storybook docs
cat .storybook/main.ts
cat .storybook/preview.ts
# Read examples
cat examples/storybook-config.ts
# Generate configuration

After (600 tokens):

# Use cached template directly
# .claude/cache/component_library/storybook_react_main.ts
# Apply without reads

Token Usage Breakdown

Baseline (Unoptimized): 4,000-6,000 tokens

  • Framework detection: 500 tokens (repeated reads)
  • Existing file analysis: 2,000 tokens (read all components)
  • Template generation: 1,500 tokens (verbose explanations)
  • Verification reads: 1,500 tokens (read back all generated files)
  • Configuration setup: 500 tokens (read configs)

Optimized: 800-1,500 tokens

  • Cached framework detection: 50 tokens (single grep, cache read)
  • Skip existing file reads: 0 tokens (use cache or Glob patterns only)
  • Batch template generation: 400 tokens (Write tool calls only)
  • No verification: 0 tokens (trust templates)
  • Cached configs: 100 tokens (apply from cache)
  • Status reporting: 250 tokens (concise summary)

Savings: 70-85% reduction

Implementation Patterns

Pattern 1: Framework Detection with Cache

# Check cache first
CACHE_FILE=".claude/cache/component_library/config.json"
if [ -f "$CACHE_FILE" ]; then
  FRAMEWORK=$(jq -r '.framework' "$CACHE_FILE")
else
  # Detect once
  if grep -q "\"react\"" package.json; then
    FRAMEWORK="react"
  elif grep -q "\"vue\"" package.json; then
    FRAMEWORK="vue"
  fi
  # Cache result
  echo "{\"framework\": \"$FRAMEWORK\"}" > "$CACHE_FILE"
fi

Pattern 2: Template Application

# Use cached template - NO reads
TEMPLATE_PATH=".claude/cache/component_library/templates/$FRAMEWORK/button.tsx"
if [ -f "$TEMPLATE_PATH" ]; then
  # Apply template directly
  cp "$TEMPLATE_PATH" "src/components/Button/Button.tsx"
else
  # Use embedded template (fallback)
  # Generate from prebuilt structure
fi

Pattern 3: Batch Component Generation

// Generate all component files in one batch
const components = ['Button', 'Input', 'Card'];
const files = ['tsx', 'test.tsx', 'stories.tsx', 'module.css', 'index.ts'];

// Single loop - NO verification reads
for (const component of components) {
  for (const file of files) {
    // Write tool call
    // NO Read tool call after
  }
}

// Report creation summary
console.log(`✓ Created ${components.length} components`);

Pattern 4: Storybook Setup from Cache

# Check for cached Storybook config
STORYBOOK_CACHE=".claude/cache/component_library/storybook/$FRAMEWORK"
if [ -d "$STORYBOOK_CACHE" ]; then
  # Copy entire config - NO reads
  cp -r "$STORYBOOK_CACHE/" .storybook/
else
  # Generate from embedded template
  # Use prebuilt config strings
fi

Cache Management

Cache Structure:

.claude/cache/component_library/
├── config.json                 # Framework, build tool choices
├── framework_templates.json    # Complete component templates
├── storybook_configs.json      # Storybook configurations

Cache Invalidation:

  • Framework change detected: Clear framework cache
  • Major version updates: Clear template cache
  • User request: Clear all caches

Progressive Disclosure

Minimal Initial Response:

# Detect framework: React ✓
# Using cached component templates
# Generating component library structure...

✓ Created src/components/Button/
✓ Created src/components/Input/
✓ Created src/components/Card/
✓ Configured Storybook
✓ Set up build with Vite

Ready: npm run storybook

Only if user asks for details:

  • Show file contents
  • Explain configuration choices
  • Provide customization options

Error Handling

Fast-fail patterns:

# Check prerequisites FIRST
[ -f "package.json" ] || { echo "No package.json found"; exit 1; }

# Detect framework quickly

Integration with Other Skills

Synergistic Operations:

  • /scaffold - Use for individual components
  • /types-generate - Generate TypeScript types from schemas
  • /test - Run component tests after generation
  • /format - Format generated code
  • /docs - Enhance documentation

Token-efficient workflows:

# Component library setup (800 tokens)
/component-library react

# Test the library (400 tokens with cache)
/test src/components

# Generate documentation (300 tokens with cache)
/docs --update

Measurement & Validation

Success Metrics:

  • Token usage: 800-1,500 (target: 70-85% reduction)
  • Component generation: <2 seconds
  • Cache hit rate: >90%
  • User satisfaction: Complete library scaffold in single pass

Validation Steps:

  1. Framework detected correctly
  2. All component files created
  3. Storybook configured
  4. Build configuration valid
  5. Tests runnable

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Anti-patterns (HIGH COST):

# ❌ Reading every existing component
find src/components -type f -exec cat {} \;  # 10,000+ tokens

# ❌ Verifying every generated file
for file in src/components/**/*; do cat "$file"; done  # 5,000+ tokens

# ❌ Explaining every configuration detail
# Full explanation of Vite, Storybook, TypeScript...  # 3,000+ tokens

# ❌ Repeated framework detection
grep "react" package.json  # Multiple times = wasted tokens

Optimized patterns (LOW COST):

# ✓ Detect framework once, cache it
FRAMEWORK=$(grep -q "\"react\"" package.json && echo "react")

# ✓ Use templates, trust generation
# NO verification reads

# ✓ Concise status reporting
echo "✓ Component library ready: npm run storybook"

# ✓ Progressive disclosure
# Details only if user asks

Real-World Scenarios

Scenario 1: New React Component Library

  • Baseline: 5,500 tokens (full analysis, generation, verification)
  • Optimized: 900 tokens (cached templates, batch generation)
  • Savings: 84%

Scenario 2: Add Storybook to Existing Project

  • Baseline: 4,000 tokens (read existing components, configure Storybook)
  • Optimized: 700 tokens (cached config, minimal detection)
  • Savings: 82%

Scenario 3: Generate Multiple Components

  • Baseline: 6,000 tokens (individual generation, verification for each)
  • Optimized: 1,200 tokens (batch generation, no verification)
  • Savings: 80%

Expected Results

Before Optimization:

  • 4,000-6,000 tokens per execution
  • Multiple reads of package.json, configs, existing components
  • Verification reads for every generated file
  • Verbose explanations and documentation

After Optimization:

  • 800-1,500 tokens per execution
  • Single framework detection with cache
  • Batch file generation with no verification
  • Concise status reporting
  • 70-85% token reduction achieved

Maintained Capabilities:

  • Full component library scaffolding
  • Storybook configuration
  • Build setup with Vite/Rollup
  • Test configuration
  • Complete documentation
  • Progressive enhancement on request

Integration Points

Synergistic Skills:

  • /scaffold - General feature scaffolding
  • /types-generate - Generate TypeScript types
  • /docs - Documentation management
  • /test - Run component tests
  • /format - Format component code

Suggests /scaffold when:

  • Need to add new components quickly
  • Following existing patterns
  • Creating feature-specific components

Suggests /docs when:

  • Need to enhance documentation
  • Create API documentation
  • Build documentation site

Framework Support

React:

  • Component structure with TypeScript
  • Storybook with React
  • Jest/Vitest testing
  • CSS Modules or Styled Components

Vue:

  • Single File Components
  • Storybook for Vue
  • Vue Test Utils
  • Scoped styles

Web Components:

  • Custom Elements API
  • Lit or Stencil
  • Framework-agnostic approach
  • Shadow DOM styling

Svelte:

  • Svelte components
  • Storybook for Svelte
  • Svelte Testing Library
  • Component-scoped styles

Expected Outputs

Files Created:

  • Complete directory structure
  • Example components with stories
  • Storybook configuration
  • Build configuration (Vite/Rollup)
  • Test setup and examples
  • Documentation files
  • Package.json with scripts
  • TypeScript configurations
  • README and guides

Ready to Use:

  • npm run storybook - Start component development
  • npm test - Run tests
  • npm run build - Build library for distribution
  • npm publish - Publish to npm (after setup)

Safety Mechanisms

Protection Measures:

  • Create git checkpoint before scaffolding
  • Preview structure before creation
  • Non-destructive for existing files
  • Validate package names
  • Check for conflicts

Validation Steps:

  1. Verify framework compatibility
  2. Check TypeScript configuration
  3. Validate build outputs
  4. Test Storybook startup
  5. Verify tests run

Common Scenarios

Scenario 1: New Component Library

  • Create complete structure from scratch
  • Set up all tooling
  • Create example components
  • Configure publishing

Scenario 2: Add to Existing Project

  • Integrate Storybook into existing codebase
  • Add missing configurations
  • Create component templates
  • Set up testing

Scenario 3: Migrate to Component Library

  • Extract components from application
  • Set up build for distribution
  • Add Storybook stories
  • Configure exports

Important Notes

I will NEVER:

  • Overwrite existing components without confirmation
  • Add AI attribution to component files
  • Break existing build configuration
  • Remove existing Storybook setup
  • Modify package.json without validation

Best Practices:

  • Follow framework conventions
  • Use semantic versioning
  • Document all components
  • Include accessibility features
  • Provide usage examples
