SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers troubleshoot and optimize complex Gradle build configurations, especially for Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) projects, reducing build times and resolving dependency conflicts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build Optimization: Provides configurations and insights to speed up Gradle builds.
  • Dependency Resolution: Assists in identifying and fixing version conflicts and missing dependencies.
  • KMP Troubleshooting: Addresses common issues specific to multi-module KMP projects, including source sets and platform-specific configurations.
  • Use Case: Resolve a Duplicate class error by aligning dependency versions in libs.versions.toml or optimize build performance by enabling Gradle's configuration cache.

Quick Start

Use the gradle-expert skill to analyze the build time of the current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resolve a Duplicate class error in my Kotlin Multiplatform Gradle build?

Resolve a Duplicate class error by aligning dependency versions across your KMP modules. You can fix this by updating your version catalog in the libs.versions.toml file to ensure all platform-specific dependencies reference matching library versions.

What is the best way to optimize Gradle build performance for a multi-module KMP project?

Optimize Gradle build performance by enabling the configuration cache and applying build file optimizations. Analyzing build times using Gradle profiling and diagnostic commands helps identify bottlenecks in your multi-module architecture to significantly reduce configuration and execution times.

How do I manage dependencies in a Kotlin Multiplatform project using version catalogs?

Manage dependencies by centralizing version declarations in a libs.versions.toml file. This approach allows you to resolve version conflicts and coordinate dependency management across multiple KMP modules, ensuring consistent library versions throughout the entire multiplatform architecture.

Why does my Gradle build fail when configuring desktop packaging in a KMP project?

Desktop packaging build failures often stem from misconfigured source sets or platform-specific dependency issues. Troubleshoot these KMP errors by verifying your build file configuration, checking platform-specific dependencies, and running Gradle diagnostic commands to isolate the failing packaging task.

Can I use Gradle profiling commands to diagnose slow configuration times in Kotlin Multiplatform builds?

Yes, you can use Gradle profiling and diagnostic commands to analyze slow configuration times. These tools provide in-depth analysis of your KMP build lifecycle, helping you pinpoint expensive tasks and apply targeted performance tuning to speed up the overall build process.
