description

Query and analyze kotlinx-rpc build scans, test results, and failure patterns from the Develocity server (ge.jetbrains.com) using MCP tools. Use this skill whenever the user wants to look at build scans, investigate CI failures across builds, check build cache hit rates, analyze flaky tests, find recurring failure patterns, or query build performance history. Also trigger when the user mentions "Develocity", "build scan", "GE", "ge.jetbrains.com", "build cache stats", "flaky tests", "failure groups", or asks about build trends, test stability, or CI health. Trigger even if the user doesn't say "Develocity" explicitly -- if they want to look at historical build data, cross-build test analysis, or failure aggregation, this is the right skill. Do NOT use this skill for running local Gradle builds -- use `running_gradle_builds` or `running_gradle_tests` instead. Do NOT use this skill for TeamCity build triggering or queue management -- use `use-teamcity`.

Develocity for kotlinx-rpc

Query build scans, test results, and failure patterns from the kotlinx-rpc Develocity instance via mcp__develocity__* MCP tools.

Project Setup

• Server: https://ge.jetbrains.com
• Build scan URL pattern: https://ge.jetbrains.com/s/<buildId>
• Gradle project name: kotlinx-rpc
• Build tool: gradle

How it's wired

All Develocity configuration lives in a single convention plugin: gradle-conventions-settings/develocity/ which exposes conventions-develocity as a settings plugin. Builds opt in by applying id("conventions-develocity") in their settings.gradle.kts.

Build	Publishes scans?
Root (:)	Yes
compiler-plugin/	Yes
dokka-plugin/	Yes
gradle-plugin/	No
protoc-gen/	No
native-deps/shims/	No (hard opt-out)
native-deps/grpc-c-prebuilt/	No (hard opt-out)

Build cache

• Remote cache at ge.jetbrains.com is always readable.
• Only CI builds push to the remote cache (isPush = isCIRun).
• Local cache is disabled on CI.

Custom scan metadata

Scans include custom values and links that are useful for filtering:

Context	Custom value	Custom link
CI (TC)	CI build id	kotlinx.rpc TeamCity build (link)
Local	Git Commit ID	GitHub Commit Link
Local	Git Branch Name	GitHub Branch Link
Local	Git Status (dirty)	--

Opt-out properties

Developers can add these to ~/.gradle/gradle.properties:

• kotlinx.rpc.develocity.skipBuildScans=true -- stop publishing scans
• kotlinx.rpc.develocity.skipGitTags=true -- stop adding git metadata

MCP Tools

Use develocity MCP to query and analyze build scans.
