How to Write Storybook Story Args from Component Props
Story files invent onClick props. args only from the prop list.
The matching generator is the Storybook Story Args from Component Props (No Fake UI Screenshots) prompt. Browse related cards in the PromptDig library (Browse more prompts). When a filled run survives, share the version you actually use (Share a prompt).
Map each prop type and default first
Write Storybook story args and argTypes from pasted component props. Never invent props or fake UI screenshots. Start by filling Inputs, not by asking the model to remember last week's run. If a field is blank, write NONE or NOT IN INPUTS and leave it blank through Generate. The card is built so the model cannot honestly invent a number, owner, URL, or command that you did not paste.
Paste these fields before you hit run:
Component props (name, type, required, default if any): [Props]
Storybook version I lock (or UNKNOWN): [Version]
CSF format I lock: [CSF or 3]
Words I must not use: [Banned]
What I must never invent: [Never]
Output format: [Format]
Language: [Lang]
Max stories: [Max]
That inventory is the honesty ledger. Anything that does not appear there is forbidden in the draft. If you catch yourself adding a nice-to-have after the run, you are no longer using the card. You are ghostwriting. Put the extra fact in Inputs and run again.
Lock CSF format from Inputs
Generate is numbered on purpose. Do not skip a step because the first paragraph looked done. The early steps exist to stop later prose from smuggling claims.
Walk the Generate list in order:
- Honesty ledger: prop count, Version status, CSF, Lang, Max. Forbidden: invented props, fake screenshots.
- Prop map: each prop type/required/default present or NOT IN INPUTS.
- CSF pack: meta + up to Max stories. args only from Props. argTypes only for listed props.
- Default table: defaults from Props; missing defaults print NOT IN INPUTS.
- Refuse list: invented onClick handlers not in Props, invented design tokens, invented PNG screenshots.
- Diff notes: Banned/Never cuts.
- Version note: quote Version or unknown. CSF locked.
- Compliance pass: Banned/Never hits. Story count vs Max. Gaps list of five. Format as Format.
If a step asks for a version lock, quote the version from Inputs in the output. If a step asks for a refuse list, keep the refuse list in the published artifact, not in a sidebar you delete. Reviewers should see what the model was not allowed to do.
Refuse fake screenshots
Most failures are the same shape: a missing field gets a confident fill. A conversion rate appears. A Gradle task appears. A flash point appears. A caption appears on a job that asked for slide text only. Your review is to search the draft for numbers, names, and commands, then grep Inputs. No match means cut.
Honor the constraints as hard stops, not vibes:
- Story args from Props only. Not Figma and not fake UI screenshots.
- Never invent props, handlers, or screenshots.
- Stay at or under Max stories.
- No emojis.
When the card says not legal advice, not certification, not an exam dump, or not a caption engine, that sentence belongs at the top of the output. Deleting it to look more finished is how you inherit risk.
Leave sample strings blank when not in Props
Finish with the compliance pass the prompt already asks for. Quote the banned-word hits. Cut them. Print character counts when the job has a cap. Print word counts when the job has a budget. List gaps as gaps. Five missing facts are more useful than one smooth paragraph.
Tags on the card (storybook story args, no fake ui, component props stories) are a reminder of the job shape, not an invitation to wander into a neighboring cluster. If you need a different surface, open a different PromptDig card rather than stretching this one.
Fill the card, then run
Replace every bracket. Run on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Read the ledger first, then the artifact. If the model invents a commit, KPI, DOI, PEL, bid, or logo, discard the run. Tighten Inputs. Run again. Share the filled card that survived, not the first draft that sounded done.
