Capturing Preview Screenshots In CI
Use this skill to render every Jetpack Compose `@Preview` as a screenshot on a real Android device or emulator and publish a browsable HTML catalog from CI. Covers the Compose HotSwan Gradle compiler plugin (`com.github.skydoves.compose.hotswan.compiler`) and `debugImplementation("com.github.skydoves.compose.hotswan:preview")`, the `captureAllPreviews` task, capturing one preview over ADB via `HotSwanPreviewActivity` + `screencap`, the `hotSwanCompiler { preview { renderDelayMs; demoMode; sdkModeEnabled } }` DSL, per-preview `@PreviewScreenshot(renderDelay = …)`, running it on an emulator in GitHub Actions (`reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner` or Gradle Managed Devices) and deploying the catalog to GitHub Pages, and how device rendering differs from host-JVM tools (Paparazzi, Roborazzi). Use when the user mentions "captureAllPreviews", "HotSwan", "preview screenshots in CI", "screenshot catalog", "preview catalog on GitHub Pages", or "Paparazzi vs Roborazzi vs device screenshots".

From the source SKILL.md
A @Preview lives in one engineer's IDE, behind a recompile, on a renderer (layoutlib) that is not the device. This skill turns it into a shared artifact: render every @Preview on a real device/emulator (real ART, real fonts, real image loading, system bars), collect the PNGs into a searchable HTML catalog, regenerate it from CI on every commit, and serve it from GitHub Pages. The tool is Compose HotSwan's Gradle plugin. For structuring previews so this is worth doing, see ../developing-with-compose-previews/SKILL.md.
