Analyzing advanced Gradle dependency behavior, including resolution, variants, capabilities, conflicts, constraints, and publication metadata. Activate for dependency-resolution design or diagnosis; use authoring-gradle-builds for routine dependency declarations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Advanced Gradle Dependency Engineering

Diagnoses and fixes advanced Gradle dependency resolution problems as diagnose-to-fix loops across the operate/author split. This skill owns the cross-cutting lane between everyday dependency inspection (`using-gradle`) and basic dependency authoring (`authoring-gradle-builds`).

## Positive Triggers (when to activate)

- Variant selection failures or attribute mismatches, diagnosed via `outgoingVariants` and `dependencyInsight --all-variants`
- Dependency verification metadata, PGP keys, and CI verification workflows
- Component metadata rules, selection rules, dependency substitution, and composite build diagnosis
- Capability conflicts, feature variants, lock modes, advanced version catalogs beyond everyday catalog entries, repository governance, and caching/freshness tuning

## Negative Triggers (when NOT to activate)

- Everyday dependency inspection, conflicts, or updates -> `using-gradle`
- Dependency declarations, basic version catalogs, or basic locking -> `authoring-gradle-builds`
- Running builds or generic failure diagnosis -> `using-gradle`
- Non-dependency structural authoring -> `authoring-gradle-builds`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rnett/gradle-mcp/advanced-gradle-dependencies@sha256:af2ef9fdb3f9a378

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
