📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Two SKILL.md files—one in the Claude plugin and one in the Codex plugin—have their Storybook preview startup instructions simplified. Steps that tracked a specific port via autoPort and required recording that port for subsequent subcommands are replaced with instructions to wait for server readiness and open the preview browser directly.

Changes

Storybook Preview Startup Instruction Simplification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remove autoPort guidance from preview startup steps packages/claude-plugin/skills/stories/SKILL.md, packages/codex-plugin/plugins/storybook/skills/stories/SKILL.md	Step 3 in the Claude plugin and the "no running instance" flow in the Codex plugin both drop the prior autoPort-specific steps (wait for port, record it, reuse it for subcommands) and replace them with instructions to wait for server readiness and open the Storybook preview in the preview browser.

Pull request overview

Removes instructions in Storybook “skills” docs that tell the agent to remember and reuse Storybook’s port, aligning the guidance with workflows that rely on the preview URL rather than a stored port.

Changes:

• Removed “save the port in working memory” guidance when detecting an existing Storybook instance.
• Updated “start Storybook” instructions to avoid port-specific steps and focus on waiting for readiness / preview URL output.
