## What it is
A collection of ready-to-use recipe projects maintained by Google that demonstrate the Android Gradle Plugin's public APIs and DSL for common build customizations. Each recipe is a minimal working example (artifact transforms, variant handling, generated sources, manifest edits), with dedicated branches matching specific AGP versions.

## Use cases
- customize android builds with the gradle plugin api
- transform classes or manifest during an android gradle build
- add a generated source folder with agp
- create a custom build type using the agp dsl
- android gradle plugin variant api examples
- disable or select variants with beforeVariants
- migrate legacy gradle tasks to the agp artifact api

## When to choose
- You're extending the Android Gradle Plugin and need working sample code for a specific API like artifact transformation or variant customization
- You want examples that match an exact AGP version by switching to its agp-* branch
- You're migrating build logic from legacy task bridging to AGP's components/variant APIs

## When to avoid
- You need a production-ready plugin or library to drop into your build rather than example code
- You're looking for general Gradle build tutorials that don't involve Android
- You need reference documentation of AGP APIs instead of runnable demonstrations, or you require a permissively licensed codebase, since no license is declared in the repo metadata
