## What it is
A Gradle plugin that wraps the ktlint Kotlin linter, adding tasks to run style checks and auto-format Kotlin code. It activates automatically in projects with Kotlin plugins applied, including Android, multiplatform, and Kotlin script files.

## Use cases
- enforce kotlin code style in gradle builds
- auto-format kotlin source files
- lint kotlin android project
- add ktlint to multiplatform project
- generate lint reports for kotlin code
- set up ktlint baseline to ignore existing violations

## When to choose
- you use Gradle with any Kotlin plugin and want ktlint integration
- you want check and format tasks wired into your build
- you need baseline support or custom reporters for ktlint

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Gradle
- you prefer a different Kotlin linter or formatter like detekt or ktfmt
- you need linting for non-Kotlin languages
