nomisrev/agent-tools-for-kotlin — explained in plain English
Analysis updated 2026-05-18
Let an AI coding agent search what types and methods are available in a Kotlin project's dependencies.
Quickly list or inspect failing tests and their stack traces straight from Gradle's JUnit XML reports.
Add this plugin to a Kotlin Gradle project to make agent assisted coding sessions faster and less noisy.
Search a specific dependency jar by Gradle coordinate, version catalog alias, or direct file path.

Add the published Gradle plugin to an existing Kotlin project, no separate installation or build step is required.
This project is a small Gradle plugin built specifically to make AI coding agents, like Claude Code or similar tools, work more smoothly on Kotlin projects. It targets two everyday annoyances that slow those agents down. The first is figuring out what is actually inside a project's dependency jars. Instead of an agent having to guess or dig through documentation, this plugin adds a jarSearch task that can list or search the packages, types, functions, and methods available in any dependency, whether picked by its Gradle coordinates, a version catalog alias, a direct jar path, or an entire dependency configuration. You can narrow a search by kind, such as only types or only methods, and filter by name. The second is reading test results without wading through Gradle's usual verbose console output. The plugin adds an inspectTest task that reads directly from the JUnit XML reports Gradle already produces after a test run, and can list every failing test or show the stack trace for tests matching a name, with the number of stack trace lines you see kept adjustable. Both tasks are designed to be run with Gradle's quiet flag, which the project encourages throughout, so that the output an AI agent has to read stays short and to the point instead of being buried in normal build noise. The repository even ships an AGENTS.md style guide with the plugin, meant to be read by an AI coding agent itself, that nudges it toward using the quiet flag and toward the module specific test task rather than a full project build. Installing it is straightforward for any Kotlin project already using Gradle: it is published to Maven Central and added like any other Gradle plugin, either through the plugins block or a version catalog entry, with no separate installation step needed beyond that.
A Gradle plugin that helps AI coding agents search Kotlin dependency jars and read failing test results quickly, using Gradle's quiet output mode.
Mainly Kotlin. The stack also includes Kotlin, Gradle.
The README does not state a license, so the terms for using or redistributing this code are unclear.
Setup difficulty is rated easy, with roughly 5min to a first successful run.
Mainly developer.
