How does this skill improve build performance?

It provides configurations for parallel execution, build caching, and configuration caching via optimized gradle.properties.

Is Kotlin DSL supported?

Yes, the skill focuses on modern Kotlin-based Gradle configurations for superior type safety and IDE support.

Can I use these patterns on existing projects?

Absolutely. These patterns are designed to be incrementally applied to modernize any existing Android project's build infrastructure.

Does this skill support multi-module projects?

Yes, it specifically includes patterns for setting up module boundaries and sharing build logic via convention plugins.

What are Gradle Version Catalogs?

They are a scalable way to share dependency and plugin versions across different modules in a centralized libs.versions.toml file.
