Android Gradle Skill

This skill helps automate Android build tasks.

Requirements

• gradle or ./gradlew must be available in the project root.

Usage

Run a Build

./gradlew assembleDebug

Run Unit Tests

./gradlew test

Run Lint

./gradlew lint

List Dependencies

./gradlew app:dependencies

Update Dependencies

Use the agent to modify build.gradle.kts or libs.versions.toml.

Safe Build Workflow (Build & Rollback)

When making changes to build files (build.gradle.kts, libs.versions.toml), use this safety-first approach:

1. Snapshot: Ensure current changes are committed or stashed.
2. Apply Change: Modify the build file.
3. Test Build: Run ./gradlew assembleDebug (or a relevant task).
4. Validate:
   • If Success: Keep changes.
   • If Failure:
     • Capture the error log.
     • Rollback changes (e.g., git checkout path/to/file or undo).
     • Analyze the error and try a different approach.

Automated Check Command

./gradlew assembleDebug || (echo "BUILD FAILED - ROLLING BACK" && git checkout .)
