Exploring Dependency Sources | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Reads and searches source code across ALL scopes: external library dependencies, plugins (buildscript), and Gradle Build Tool internal source code; use whenever you need to UNDERSTAND an API — its shape, signature, parameters, overloads, or implementation — before writing any code that calls it; covers project dependencies (via project/configuration/source set scope), plugins (via sourceSetPath=":buildscript"), and Gradle internals (via gradleSource: true). Prefer this over the REPL for all API research; reading source is instantaneous and complete. Do NOT use for project source code (use grep/tilth), Gradle documentation (use gradledocs via the gradle skill), or Maven Central discovery (use managinggradledependencies).

Original description

Reads and searches source code across ALL scopes: external library dependencies, plugins (buildscript), and Gradle Build Tool internal source code; use whenever you need to UNDERSTAND an API — its shape, signature, parameters, overloads, or implementation — before writing any code that calls it; covers project dependencies (via project/configuration/source set scope), plugins (via `sourceSetPath=":buildscript"`), and Gradle internals (via `gradleSource: true`). Prefer this over the REPL for all API research; reading source is instantaneous and complete. Do NOT use for project source code (use grep/tilth), Gradle documentation (use `gradle_docs` via the `gradle` skill), or Maven Central discovery (use `managing_gradle_dependencies`).
