Detekt is a static code analysis tool for Kotlin. It provides code smell analysis and complexity reports based on highly configurable rule sets. It can be run from the command line and, using plugins, via Gradle, SonarQube and IntelliJ. Our teams have found great value in using Detekt to maintain high code quality. When analysis and report generation are integrated into a build pipeline, it's obviously important that the reports are checked on a regular basis and the team sets aside time to act on the findings.
