[RFC]: Agentic workflow and Storybook design systems with agents

[kylegach]

Summary

We've been doing a lot of research and experiments with AI and agent-based development lately, and we're finally ready to share some of our learnings and prototypes! We have not one but TWO RFCs that we'd love feedback and input on!

We've published the RFCs in their respective repos, to be near the work. But wanted to give the broader Storybook community a chance to provide your feedback.

Agentic workflow

storybookjs/addon-mcp#15

The first RFC dives into improving the workflow when developing UI with agents and Storybook.

We've built an addon to Storybook - @storybook/addon-mcp - that introduces an MCP servers that you can attach to your agent to improve its usage of Storybook and stories.

Storybook design systems with agents

storybookjs/ds-mcp-experiment-reshaped#1

The second RFC is about improving agent-based workflow for CONSUMERS of design systems.

If you're developing your design system with Storybook, it knows a lot about your components and their APIs. This RFC explores how we can expose that to agents so they'll be smarter about using the design system.

Please check out the work, let us know if you like the direction, if you'd want us to focus somewhere else, if you have suggestions for how we can improve it (Prompt Engineering is hard!), etc.
