have you tried
Copy code
tasks.named("quickAssembleOfMostCode") {
    shouldRunAfter("someFormattingTask")
    shouldRunBefore("build")
}
z
oh bc if you just pass the 
String
then it doesn’t care until after evaluation
tbh what I really want is something like:
Copy code
/**
 * Runs task1 and any of its dependencies before task 2 (shouldRunBefore)
 * when there are free parallel executors.
 * 
 * Task2 before Task3, etc
 */
priortize(
    "task1",
    "task2",
    "task3",
    "task4"
)
I think this is a better way to ask this question https://gradle-community.slack.com/archives/CAHSN3LDN/p1662065586670609

Given you might not like using things like 
shouldRunAfter("plainStringHere")
, usually you should know which plugin adds the task in question and then you just react to that plugin being applied using 
pluginManager.withPlugin("...") { ... }
Otherwise to have a lazy reference of a named task, you need to use a task collection with 0 or 1 value like 
tasks.withType<TheTaskType>().matching { it.name == "yourTaskName" }
for the price of all tasks with that type getting realized to check the name attribute whether they will be run or not. Because of that you should avoid doing 
tasks.matching { ... }
as that would realize each and every task.
