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; the MCP server from 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 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.
