Does this skill support Gradle version catalogs?

Yes, it specifically targets the modern gradle/libs.versions.toml approach, creating version aliases and library entries automatically.

How does it determine which version to use?

It searches Maven Central for the latest stable release, intentionally avoiding alpha, beta, or snapshot versions unless no stable version is available.

Will it break my build?

The skill includes a verification step that runs './gradlew clean build -x test' to ensure the project still compiles after the changes are made.

Does it modify the build.gradle.kts file?

Yes, it adds the appropriate implementation or testImplementation lines using the type-safe accessors generated from the version catalog.

Can I add multiple dependencies at once?

Yes, you can provide a space-separated list of group:artifact coordinates, and the skill will process them all before performing a final rebuild.

Automates adding Maven dependencies to Kotlin projects using Gradle version catalogs and type-safe accessors.

This skill streamlines the process of managing external libraries in Kotlin projects by automatically fetching the latest stable versions from Maven Central, updating the gradle/libs.versions.toml file, and integrating them into build.gradle.kts. It ensures project best practices are followed, such as using version catalogs instead of hardcoded strings and maintaining alphabetical order, while verifying all changes with a project rebuild to ensure compatibility.
