Android Project Setup

Correct project initialization prevents 80% of downstream agent errors. Read this entire skill before writing any build files.

Non-negotiables

• Kotlin DSL only (build.gradle.kts, settings.gradle.kts) — never Groovy .gradle
• Version Catalog only (libs.versions.toml) — never hardcode versions in build files
• KSP only — never kapt
• minSdk = 24, targetSdk = 35, compileSdk = 35
• Kotlin 2.0.0+, AGP 8.5.0+
• namespace declared in every module's build.gradle.kts
