Iron-Ham/XcodePreviews·1 plugin

Build and snapshot SwiftUI previews from Xcode projects or SPM so your coding agent can reason about iOS UI visually.

Overview

preview-build is a plugin marketplace for the Build phase that builds and captures SwiftUI previews from Xcode and SPM for agent-side visual analysis.

What is this marketplace?

Builds previews for Xcode projects, Swift Package Manager packages, and standalone Swift files
Captures preview output for visual analysis by Claude Code and similar agents
Keywords cover Swift, SwiftUI, simulator, and iOS tooling (v2.0.7, MIT)
Single-plugin marketplace focused on one preview-build skill
Homepage and repo: Iron-Ham/XcodePreviews on GitHub
1 plugin in marketplace
preview-build version 2.0.7
MIT license

Compatible agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, any compatible agent

Community signal: 141 GitHub stars.

What problem does it solve?

Coding agents cannot see your SwiftUI previews, so UI feedback devolves into guesswork and endless back-and-forth screenshots.

Who is it for?

Indie iOS developers using Claude Code locally with Xcode who want visual context without manually exporting preview PNGs.

Skip if: Teams building only web or Android apps, or anyone who needs automated App Store screenshots and marketing assets from this marketplace alone.

What do I get? / Deliverables

After install, your agent can trigger preview builds and use captured imagery to critique layout, spacing, and visual regressions in context.

Built preview artifacts suitable for agent visual review
Repeatable preview-build workflow across project types

Journey fit

Primary fit

BuildUI/UX & frontend

Preview capture is part of implementing and iterating on native iOS/SwiftUI screens before ship. Targets SwiftUI/Xcode workflows—frontend mobile UI—not backend or distribution.

How it compares

iOS preview-capture skill bundle, not a generic design-system or MCP token server.

Common Questions / FAQ

Who is Preview Build for?

Solo and small-team SwiftUI developers who use AI coding agents and already maintain #Preview blocks or preview-capable targets in Xcode.

When should I use Preview Build?

Use it while implementing or refactoring SwiftUI screens when you want the agent to inspect rendered previews instead of inferring UI from source alone.

How do I add Preview Build to my agent?

Add the Iron-Ham/XcodePreviews Claude marketplace plugin Preview Build to your Claude Code (or compatible) plugin list and run builds on a Mac with Xcode installed.
