# Script

interface Script(source)

This interface is implemented by all Gradle Groovy DSL scripts to add in some Gradle-specific methods. As your compiled script class will implement this interface, you can use the methods and properties declared by this interface directly in your script.

Generally, a `Script` object will have a delegate object attached to it. For example, a build script will have a Project instance attached to it, and an initialization script will have a org.gradle.api.invocation.Gradle instance attached to it. Any property reference or method call which is not found on this `Script` object is forwarded to the delegate object.
