Usage

First Launch

When you first launch LazyGradle, you'll need to add a Gradle project:

1. Press p to open the project chooser
2. Add your Gradle project directory
3. LazyGradle will automatically detect and cache all available tasks

Keyboard Shortcuts

• p - Open project chooser (switch between projects or add new ones)
• d - Toggle dark mode
• r - Run the selected task
• R - Run the selected task with custom parameters
• Tab / Shift+Tab - Navigate between UI elements
• ↑ / ↓ - Navigate task list

Running Tasks

1. Select a task from the list on the left
2. View the task description on the right
3. Press r to run, or R to run with parameters
4. Watch the real-time output in the output panel

Managing Projects

LazyGradle stores your project configurations in ~/.config/lazygradle/gradle_cache.json, so your projects and their task lists are remembered between sessions.

AI Usage in Development

The ability to get this project to a usable state in my free time was definitely made possible through the help of Generative AI tooling to assist with development. This has included the following.

• Claude Code (CLAUDE.MD file included in project)
• ChatGPT Web
• opencode

I do have plans to clean up much of the AI generated comments and code to graduate it a bit above "AI slop" status where its present, but it's certainly been a higher priority for me to get something working and usable for my other purposes (which is primarily Sockbowl development).
