Here's an example from Groovy that represents exactly what I would like to achieve:

Command line:

./gradlew jib -PmyArg=hello

build.gradle.kts

task myTask {
    doFirst {
       println myArg
       ... do what you want
    }
}

Source of this example is here - option 3.

How can I read pass and read myArg value in Kotlin DSL ?

After some time found an answer:

build.gradle.kts

val myArg: String by project // Command line argument is always a part of project

task("myTask") {
    doFirst {
        if (project.hasProperty("myArg")) {
            println(myArg)
        }
    }
}

Command line:

gradle myTask -PmyArg=foo

Output:

$ gradle myTask -PmyArg=foo

> Task :myTask
foo

I retrieved the argument for my task like this (build.gradle.kts with Kotlin DSL):

tasks.create("myCustomTask") {
  doLast {
    val myArg = properties["myArgName"]
    // OR a more verbose form:
    val myArg = project.properties["myArgName"]
  }
}

./gradlew myCustomTask -PmyArgName=hello
