In plain words
What is it for?
It is for fixing build and sync errors, adding dependencies, changing plugins or variants, and validating compatible Gradle, Android and Kotlin versions.
Why use it?
It helps change build configuration without creating version conflicts, duplicated dependencies or exposed signing secrets.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gradle-build scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Keep the Android build reproducible, compatible and easy to evolve.

When to use

  • Fixing Gradle sync/build errors.
  • Adding dependencies or plugins.
  • Migrating to version catalogs or convention plugins.
  • Changing build variants, flavors, AGP, Kotlin or Firebase BoM.

Inputs to inspect

  • settings.gradle(.kts), build.gradle(.kts), gradle/libs.versions.toml.
  • Gradle, AGP, Kotlin and Java versions.
  • Full build error and command.
  • CI workflow if relevant.

Required workflow

  1. Read current version strategy before changing versions.
  2. Check compatibility between Gradle, AGP, Kotlin and Firebase BoM.
  3. Change the narrowest build file.
  4. Run sync/build validation.
  5. Document impact and rollback path.

Rules

  • Do not upgrade versions blindly.
  • Do not duplicate Firebase dependency versions outside the BoM.
  • Keep Kotlin DSL consistent.
  • Keep signing secrets out of Gradle files.
  • Use convention plugins only when the project already benefits from them.

Local skills to invoke

  • android-core
  • agp9-kotlin-migration
  • dependency-upgrade-safety
  • debugging

External companion skills to use when installed

Do not assume these companion skills are installed. Prefer the local skills above first, then consult Companion Skills for install and verification commands.

  • android/skills — use for official Android workflow alignment around edge-to-edge, adaptive UI, Navigation 3, R8, AGP or testing setup.
  • vercel-labs/skills — use for Agent Skills CLI, packaging and multi-agent installation patterns when repository maintenance guidance is needed.

Files commonly touched

  • settings.gradle.kts
  • build.gradle.kts
  • gradle/libs.versions.toml
  • build-logic/*
  • .github/workflows/*

Commands to validate

./gradlew help
./gradlew assembleDebug
./gradlew test
./gradlew lint
./gradlew --version

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Changing AGP and Kotlin together without reason.
  • Mixing Groovy and Kotlin DSL patterns.
  • Adding duplicate plugin declarations.
  • Committing local SDK paths or secrets.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
