kmp describe

Inspect any Kotlin Multiplatform project to understand its build system, active target platforms, declared source sets, and compiler configurations.

---

Usage

kmp describe [path] [options]

Options

• path: Path to the project root directory. Defaults to ..
• --json: Output machine-readable JSON representation.

---

Dual Build-System Parser

kmp describe seamlessly analyzes both types of KMP projects:

1. Gradle Multiplatform: Inspects root build.gradle.kts, settings.gradle.kts, and subprojects (:shared, :composeApp, :androidApp).
2. Declarative Kotlin Toolchain 0.12+: Parses module.yaml and product declarations (android/app, ios/app, jvm/app).
