After you finish building a web application, HTML page, or any browsable artifact, start a live preview so the user can see the result immediately via a shareable URL.
Proactive behavior: After starting a dev server or creating a web artifact, proactively ask the user if they'd like a preview link (e.g. "Want me to generate a preview link so you can see it on your phone?"). If the user confirms, call preview. Do NOT call the tool without asking first.
The VibeAround MCP server must be connected (server name: vibearound). If not available, tell the user to start the VibeAround desktop app.
Before calling preview, make sure:
lsof -i :<port> should return nothing--host 0.0.0.0 when available for broader compatibilityUse the /va-session skill to resolve your current session ID.
Tool: preview
Server: vibearound
Arguments:
port: <the port your server is running on>
cwd: "<current working directory>"
session_id: "<session_id from step 2>" (pass if available)
title: "<short description of what you built>" (optional)
If the tool says the workspace is not registered, call register_workspace with the cwd first, then retry.
The tool returns an Owner link and a Share link. Always show both in this format:
Preview 已就绪：
- 你的预览: <owner_url>
- 分享链接: <share_url>（10 分钟有效）
Or in English:
Preview ready:
- Owner: <owner_url>
- Share: <share_url> (expires in 10 min)
Never omit either link. The owner link is permanent (requires browser pairing). The share link is temporary and needs no auth — ideal for sending to others.
register_workspace first, then retry.lsof -i :<port> and choose a different port.Initialize and wait for VibeAround subagents in a multi-agent coding turn. Use when the user's message starts with "subagent=", especially "subagent=parallel".

Exposes a local dev server or HTML file as a live preview via a shareable public URL, enabling browser and mobile device testing. Use after starting a dev server or creating HTML/CSS/JS files, or when the user asks to "preview this", "show me on my phone", "share a preview link", "open in browser", or "mobile preview". Only available when the VibeAround MCP server is connected.
Resolves the current VibeAround session ID for use by other skills. Use when another skill (va-preview, vibearound handover) needs session context, or when the user asks "what is my session ID", "get session info", or "check session status".
Hands over the current coding session so the user can continue the conversation on another device via any IM channel connected to VibeAround. Generates a /pickup command and copies it to the clipboard. Use when the user says "/vibearound handover", "hand over this session", "continue on my phone", "transfer to mobile", or similar session transfer requests.
Preview a markdown file with beautiful GitHub-style rendering. Use after creating or updating markdown documents like README, docs, or reports. Only available when the VibeAround MCP server is connected.
