SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It turns requests for websites, dashboards, landing pages, and frontend components into working, viewable results instead of just code snippets, handling stack detection, dev server lifecycle, and verification so the user gets a URL or file path that actually works. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Static-first delivery: Builds single self-contained HTML files with inline or CDN CSS/JS when no bundler is needed, returning an absolute file path. - Detached dev server management: Starts Vite/Next/npm preview servers with nohup, polls until they respond, and reuses existing listeners so reported URLs are live. - Frontend quality and verification: Applies responsive layout, accessibility, and motion guidelines, then verifies pages load before handing results back. - Use Case: Ask for a landing page for a new product; the Skill generates a polished HTML file, saves it under output/builds/, and returns the path to open. ## Quick Start Build me a responsive landing page for my SaaS product and give me the file path or local URL to preview it.

Frequently Asked Questions about clicky-build-preview

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I preview a website built by an AI coding assistant?▼

For single-page results, the Skill creates one self-contained HTML file and returns its absolute path to open directly. For framework projects, it starts a detached dev server, polls until it responds, then reports the verified local URL.

When should I use a dev server versus a static HTML file?▼

Use a static HTML file whenever the result can be self-contained with inline or CDN CSS/JS. A dev or preview server is only needed when the project requires a bundler, framework runtime, or HMR, such as React, Next, Vite, or SvelteKit apps.

Why does my localhost preview URL stop working after the build finishes?▼

A foregrounded npm run dev process dies when the shell call returns, killing the URL. The Skill starts servers detached with nohup and disown, then polls with curl until the server responds before reporting the URL.

Can it handle React or Next.js app previews?▼

Yes, it detects the stack and package manager, makes scoped code changes following existing project patterns, and starts the appropriate dev or preview server on an explicit host and fixed port with log-based error reporting.

What are the limitations of this build preview workflow?▼

It does not handle GitHub/PR/CI repo operations, toolchain or dependency failures, or operating logged-in browser UIs; those route to dedicated repo, dev-setup, or GUI workflows instead.
