APK Size Audit

Audit packaging and size-sensitive changes with measurable artifact and configuration evidence.

When To Use

Use when a task changes or reviews:

• Dependencies, native libraries, packaging options, or R8/minification
• Resources, generated assets, baseline profiles, or release artifacts
• Native-load packaging and runtime loading behavior

Required Context

Read first:

• AGENTS.md
• Relevant module AGENTS.md files for touched build logic
• docs/ai/playbooks/apk-size.md
• docs/native-load-yaml.md when native packs are affected
• Relevant Gradle, version catalog, packaging, and benchmark files

Audit Checks

Verify with file evidence:

• Dependencies are added through the version catalog with justification.
• Native library packaging and runtime loading remain aligned.
• R8/minification/resource shrinking changes are intentional and variant-scoped.
• Generated assets are not committed or modified manually unless required.
• Artifact size comparisons use the same variant/build type.
• Baseline profile or benchmark changes do not hide runtime regressions.

Process

1. Map changed Gradle, version catalog, packaging, native-load, and generated-asset files.
2. Identify artifact variants affected by the change.
3. Compare dependency/resource/native-library deltas when data is available.
4. Cite file paths and line numbers for each finding.
5. Avoid claiming size wins without measured artifact evidence.

Validation

Recommend:

./gradlew :app:smartphone:assembleRelease

Use the affected TV or extension variant when applicable. If artifact comparison cannot be run, state the remaining size risk.

Output

Return a concise Markdown report with:

• Scope and artifacts reviewed
• Pass/fail table for each audit check
• Evidence-backed findings with file paths
• Measured size deltas or reason measurements are unavailable
• Validation run or not run, with reason
