name: Storybook
description: Storybook is the industry-standard frontend workshop for building, documenting, and testing UI components in
  isolation. It supports React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Web Components, and a dozen other frameworks. Developers write stories
  capturing component states, use addons for interaction testing, accessibility auditing, visual testing, and design integration,
  and publish component documentation for design systems and component libraries. Storybook 10+ includes an MCP server enabling
  AI agents to understand components, generate stories, and run tests. The project is open source (MIT) and maintained by
  the storybookjs GitHub organization.
