## What it is
OkBuck is a Gradle plugin that generates BUCK files so developers can use Facebook's Buck build system on existing Gradle projects, primarily Android ones. It includes a buck wrapper script that manages Buck installation and re-runs OkBuck only when needed via Watchman.

## Use cases
- speed up android builds with buck
- generate buck files from a gradle project
- migrate gradle android project to buck
- share build artifacts across machines with buck http cache
- run buck builds via a gradle-style wrapper

## When to choose
- you have a large Android Gradle project and want Buck's faster incremental builds
- your team wants to try Buck without rewriting the build from scratch

## When to avoid
- your project is small and Gradle build times are acceptable
- you are not invested in the Android/JVM ecosystem or Buck is no longer maintained for your use case

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: build-tool, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm, cli
- tags: gradle-plugin, buck, android-build, build-acceleration, android
