Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00049 | $0.01982 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00793 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00396 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00198 |
Grade A, and why
advanced-gradle-dependencies 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 1mo 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.

Advanced Gradle Dependency Engineering
Diagnoses and fixes advanced Gradle dependency resolution problems as diagnose-to-fix loops across the operate/author split. This skill owns the cross-cutting lane between everyday dependency inspection (using-gradle) and basic dependency authoring (authoring-gradle-builds).
Positive Triggers (when to activate)
- Variant selection failures or attribute mismatches, diagnosed via
outgoingVariantsanddependencyInsight --all-variants - Dependency verification metadata, PGP keys, and CI verification workflows
- Component metadata rules, selection rules, dependency substitution, and composite build diagnosis
- Capability conflicts, feature variants, lock modes, advanced version catalogs beyond everyday catalog entries, repository governance, and caching/freshness tuning
Negative Triggers (when NOT to activate)
- Everyday dependency inspection, conflicts, or updates ->
using-gradle - Dependency declarations, basic version catalogs, or basic locking ->
authoring-gradle-builds - Running builds or generic failure diagnosis ->
using-gradle - Non-dependency structural authoring ->
authoring-gradle-builds
More info: Search the User Guide with gradle_docs(query="tag:userguide <term>"). Read gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties before any version-sensitive advice; this skill's wrapper-first scoping is mandatory because resolution behavior is version-sensitive.
Constitution
- ALWAYS use the Gradle MCP
gradletool (or the dedicated dependency inspection tools) instead of./gradlewvia shell for all resolution work. - ALWAYS read the wrapper version (
gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties) before applying version-sensitive advice; resolution reports, variant model behavior, and governance modes change across Gradle versions. - ALWAYS diagnose before fixing: run the matching authoritative report first (
dependencyInsight,outgoingVariants, graph inspection), then apply the minimal authoring fix, then re-run the diagnostic to confirm resolution. - ALWAYS use
query_build(kind="TESTS")for tests andquery_buildfor diagnostics; avoid raw console parsing. - NEVER prescribe a resolution fix without a diagnostic step; variant mismatches, capability conflicts, and substitution behavior must be evidenced before authoring a rule.
- NEVER fabricate tool names; cite authoritative documentation only through
gradle_docshints (path=...orquery="tag:..."). - Handoff: everyday dependency inspection belongs to
using-gradle; basic dependency declaration, version-catalog basics, and basic locking belong toauthoring-gradle-builds; see Cross-Skill Handoffs.

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.

advanced-gradle-dependencies is a skill published in the GitHub repository rnett/gradle-mcp (69 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,982 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 2026-08-30.

plan-new-app
Plan a new Taskade Genesis app from a business goal, create its data projects and its AI agent in Taskade, and write the build prompt for Taskade EVE. Use when the user says "build me an app in Taskade", "I need a CRM / client portal / booking system / dashboard", "plan a Taskade app", or describes a business process…
getting-started
Connect Taskade and show the user what they can do with it. Use when the user says "set up Taskade", "connect Taskade", "what can you do in Taskade", "what is in my Taskade workspace", or when a Taskade tool fails with a sign-in or plan error.
backup-my-app
Copy a Taskade Genesis app (app source, projects, agents and automation definitions) into a local folder as readable files, for a backup, a handover to a client, or a README. Use when the user says "back up my Taskade app", "export my app", "download my app source", "save a copy of my workspace", or "document my app".
watch
Watch live IDX turnover and order books for unusual activity — value surges, auto-reject approach, one-sided depth, walls appearing or withdrawn, quiet stocks waking up, UMA flags — plus delayed print-by-print attribution and end-of-day broker context. Use when the user runs /watch, or asks what is trading right now…
