Render a Jetpack Compose or Compose Multiplatform @Preview to PNG and look at it. Use when asked to render, show or check what a composable, @Preview or Material/Wear library component looks like, to verify a Compose UI edit, to compare before/after, or to review previews against design guidelines. Also to run an Android APK without an emulator.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Compose Preview Render `@Preview` composables to PNG without Android Studio (Android via Robolectric, CMP Desktop via Skia). CLI, Gradle plugin and renderers ship from [compose-ai-tools](https://github.com/yschimke/compose-ai-tools); the MCP server from [compose-preview-server](https://github.com/yschimke/compose-preview-server). ## Render first For a request to render or show a preview, follow the short loop below. For a requested guidelines review, use [the review checklist](./references/design-guidelines.md) to choose the local, hosted or UI Builder lane before invoking tools. Published catalogs and server-homed designs use hosted tools first; a missing local checkout does not require cloning, Gradle or a cloud environment. If tools are unavailable, report blocked evidence and follow the integration's setup guidance. With the local MCP server attached (compose-preview-server 3.78.0+), its `initialize` instructions say how to call it: `render_preview preview=<FunctionName>`, no exploring or registering first, no hand-built mocks. Follow them. This skill adds the budget: a routine render is at most …

How to install
mdr add yschimke/skills/compose-preview@sha256:02c36adfbe45cdeaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.b686c03, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
