I've successfully set up Chromatic for your Storybook with PR preview functionality! Here's what I've implemented:

Task Checklist

• Analyze existing Storybook configuration
• Check for repository-specific instructions in CLAUDE.md
• Install Chromatic CLI dependency
• Create GitHub Actions workflow for Chromatic
• Configure Chromatic for PR previews
• Add necessary configuration files
• Document setup completion steps

What's Been Added

1. Chromatic CLI Dependency

• Added chromatic: ^11.35.1 to devDependencies in package.json
• Added chromatic script for manual runs

2. GitHub Actions Workflow (.github/workflows/chromatic.yml)

• Triggers on pushes to main and PRs targeting main
• Uses latest Chromatic action with proper setup
• Includes optimizations like onlyChanged and exitZeroOnChanges

3. Chromatic Configuration (.chromatic.config.json)

• Configured to use your existing build-storybook script
• Optimized settings for efficient visual testing

Next Steps Required

To complete the setup, you'll need to:

1. Create a Chromatic account at https://chromatic.com
2. Create a new project for your repository
3. Add the project token as a GitHub secret:
   • Go to your repo Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
   • Add new secret: CHROMATIC_PROJECT_TOKEN
   • Use the token from your Chromatic project

Once you add the secret, the workflow will automatically:

• Run visual tests on PRs and main branch pushes
• Generate preview URLs for PRs
• Track visual changes in your components
• Post status checks on PRs
