Preview
Launch a local or remote preview of the project using the configured infrastructure provider.
Arguments
- $ARGUMENTS: Optional flags:
--status— check current preview status--stop— stop running preview--logs— show preview logs- (default) — start/update preview
How to Execute
Step 1: Resolve Provider
Read the preview provider from agency/config/agency.yaml under preview.provider.
# agency.yaml
preview:
provider: "docker-compose" # or "fly", "vercel", "cloudflare"
The provider maps to a tool: ./agency/tools/preview-{provider}
Step 2: Check Provider Tool Exists
Verify ./agency/tools/preview-{provider} exists and is executable. If not:
- List available preview tools:
ls ./agency/tools/preview-* - Tell the user which providers are available
- Suggest adding the provider tool if none exist
Step 3: Dispatch to Provider
Execute: ./agency/tools/preview-{provider} {verb} {args}
Where verb is one of: start, stop, status, logs (mapped from flags above, default: start).
Step 4: Report
Show the user:
- Preview URL (if started)
- Status (running, stopped, error)
- Any relevant logs or errors
Provider Contract
Each preview-{provider} tool must support these verbs:
start— launch preview, print URL to stdoutstop— tear down previewstatus— print current state (running/stopped/error)logs— stream or print recent logs
Error Handling
- If no provider configured in agency.yaml, suggest adding the
previewsection - If provider tool missing, list available alternatives
- If provider command fails, show stderr and suggest troubleshooting
