What it does

Swiftui Preview is an agent skill from xenodium/emacs-skills. This skill should be used when the user invokes "/swiftui-preview" to render SwiftUI code from the current context to a PNG and output the resulting image path.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with SwiftUI. The repository describes itself as: Emacs skills for coding agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Invokes /swiftui-preview to render SwiftUI code from the current context to a PNG and output the resulting image path
  • Tasks that involve iOS development

Example prompts

  • “/swiftui-preview”
  • “/swiftui-preview”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Derive SwiftUI view code from the current context — prose, image, ASCII diagram, or existing Swift. The root view must be named…
  2. Locate agent-skill-swiftui.el which lives alongside this skill file at skills/swiftui-preview/agent-skill-swiftui.el in the emacs-skills…
  3. Invoke the elisp function in a single Bash call. To avoid shell+elisp quoting issues with arbitrary Swift code, pipe the source through…
  4. The function returns the PNG path as a quoted elisp string (e.g. "/var/folders/.../agent-swiftui-XXXX.png") on success, or nil on failure.
  5. On success, output the result as a markdown image on its own line

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a158238. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • swift

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Swiftui Preview loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 429 words (~1,070 tokens).

“Generate SwiftUI code from the most recent interaction context, render it to a PNG using ImageRenderer, and output it as a markdown image so it renders inline.”
