description	Inspect a Kotlin + Spring repository before making changes or answering implementation, debugging, build, architecture, or review questions. Use when the agent must map modules, Spring Boot/Kotlin/Gradle/JDK versions, compiler plugins, profiles, dependencies, runtime stack, and architectural boundaries so later advice stays compatible with the real project.

Project Context Ingestion

Source mapping: Tier 1 critical skill derived from Kotlin_Spring_Developer_Pipeline.md (SK-01).

Mission

Build an accurate mental model of the repository before proposing code, fixes, tests, or architecture advice. Treat this skill as the default first step for all other Kotlin + Spring skills.

Inspect First

• Read settings.gradle.kts, root build.gradle.kts, module build files, gradle.properties, gradle/libs.versions.toml, and Gradle wrapper properties if present.
• Read application.yml, application.yaml, application.properties, and profile-specific variants.
• Read the top-level package or module layout, plus representative controller, service, repository, configuration, and test classes.
• Read runtime and delivery files when present: Dockerfile, docker-compose*.yml, Kubernetes or Helm manifests, CI workflows, .env.example, and deployment scripts.
