What is gradle-build-system?

A guide to the Gradle build system used by the project, including dependency changes, modules, convention plugins, and build-failure checks. Gradle is a tool that assembles Android and other JVM-based software.

Use it to add a dependency or module, edit Gradle configuration, or investigate an Android or native build failure.

Build settings are shared through plugins and a version catalog, so changing one file without checking those sources can produce inconsistent builds. The guide points changes to the repository's established configuration.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00051	$0.01094
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00438
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00219
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00109

Security

Grade A, and why

gradle-build-system 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 yesterday.

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.

Gradle Build System

Overview

RIPDPI uses the Gradle version pinned by gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, convention plugins in build-logic/convention/, and the version catalog at gradle/libs.versions.toml. Read those source files before reporting versions; all module build configuration flows through convention plugins.

Convention Plugins

Plugin	Purpose
`ripdpi.android.application`	App module: compileSdk, minSdk, targetSdk, Java 17 bytecode
`ripdpi.android.library`	Library modules: compileSdk, minSdk, Java 17 bytecode
`ripdpi.android.compose`	Compose compiler configuration
`ripdpi.android.native`	NDK version, ABI filters, legacy packaging
`ripdpi.android.quality`	Shared detekt + ktlint + Android lint verification wiring
`ripdpi.android.coverage`	Shared JaCoCo coverage wiring
`ripdpi.android.protobuf`	Protobuf code generation setup
`ripdpi.android.test`	`com.android.test` modules (`:baselineprofile`): wires the shared Gradle Managed Device registry

This table is a working subset for everyday lookups, not the full inventory. Plugin sources: build-logic/convention/src/main/kotlin/ripdpi.android.*.gradle.kts -- for the complete plugin list, helper classes, and how to add a new plugin, read the convention-plugin-development skill.

Adding a Dependency

Add version to [versions] in gradle/libs.versions.toml
Add library to [libraries] with version.ref
Use in module: implementation(libs.your.library)

# gradle/libs.versions.toml
[versions]
your-lib = "1.0.0"

[libraries]
your-library = { module = "com.example:library", version.ref = "your-lib" }

Never hardcode versions in build.gradle.kts files.

Adding a New Module

Create module directory under appropriate parent (core/, feature/, etc.)

Create build.gradle.kts applying convention plugin:

plugins {
    id("ripdpi.android.library")
}
android { namespace = "com.poyka.ripdpi.your.module" }

Add include(":your:module") to settings.gradle.kts
Add Compose plugin if needed: id("ripdpi.android.compose")

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.

gradle-build-system is a skill published in the GitHub repository po4yka/RIPDPI (85 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,094 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-11-07.
