Gradle Convention Modules

Use this skill to create maintainable Gradle build logic for multi-module projects.

Default posture: keep module build.gradle.kts files boring. Put repeated build configuration in convention plugins, keep dependency versions in version catalogs, and validate that conventions do not leak dependencies or apply heavyweight plugins unnecessarily.

Load Only What The Task Needs

• Creating or restructuring build-logic: read references/build-logic-setup.md.
• Writing precompiled script plugins or binary convention plugins: read references/convention-plugin-authoring.md.
• Working with libs.versions.toml, plugin aliases, or catalog access from build logic: read references/version-catalogs.md.
• Creating Android/Kotlin module conventions: read references/android-kotlin-conventions.md.
• Deciding Gradle api vs implementation or module dependency hygiene: read references/dependency-hygiene.md.
• Validating build logic, configuration cache, plugin application, or new module setup: read references/validation.md.
