kotlin-conventions

What problem does it solve?

The Kotlin conventions skill enforces project-specific Kotlin coding standards for the Gradle plugin codebase, preventing stylistic drift and ensuring consistent patterns across the repository.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Enforces runCatching usage for error handling and discourages traditional try/catch patterns, improving reliability and readability.
• Enforces no println or System.err and directs output to Gradle's logging API for consistent user-facing messages.
• Prohibits wildcard imports and promotes explicit, strongly-typed Kotlin constructs to improve maintainability.
• Recommends value-class style usage and consistent DSL and Gradle Kotlin DSL practices for plugin development.
• Use Case: A large Gradle plugin project migrating from ad-hoc error handling to a consistent Kotlin convention suite.

Quick Start

Run the Kotlin conventions check on your Gradle plugin project to enforce the rules.
