Kotlin Builder

Kotlin Builder analyzes Kotlin-based projects to reveal structural quality, dependency health, and build configuration efficiency. It targets developers, tech leads, and platform teams working on JVM or Android projects who need repeatable, data-driven guidance during refactors or onboarding.
Conceptually, the tool parses Gradle/Kotlin DSL files, source trees, and test setups, runs rule-based checks for idiomatic Kotlin usage, dependency version alignment, and build cache effectiveness. It outputs a structured report with severity-ranked findings and concrete recommendations.
Key features include a parser for multi-module layouts, a rule engine with required checks (cyclic dependencies, unused imports, version conflicts) and optional checks (custom rule sets, historical trend comparison, CI integration). It produces machine-readable outputs (JSON/CSV) and human-readable summaries. It provides per-module scores, actionable remediation steps, and suggested code changes to accelerate improvement cycles.
Typical use cases include pre-merge quality gates, onboarding of new Kotlin projects, and architecture sessions. The tool differentiates itself by combining Kotlin-specific best practices with build-system health metrics, offering actionable guidance rather than generic code smells.
