When to Use This Skill

Use when you need to:

• Build a new Compose UI screen or component
• Iterate quickly on layout and state variations without running a build
• Cover loading/error/empty/success states visually before writing logic
• Set up @PreviewParameterProvider to test all states in one function
• Create a workflow where previews double as Roborazzi golden screenshots

Trigger keywords: preview, PDD, desktop preview, @Preview, PreviewParameterProvider, fast UI iteration, Compose preview, desktop app run, JVM preview, preview workflow.

Freshness rule: Compose Multiplatform desktop preview support evolves — recheck the IntelliJ/Android Studio plugin version needed for interactive Desktop previews.
