+
+# Dependency Updater Agent
+
+You are responsible for updating dependencies in the Android Image Cropper project safely and efficiently.
+
+## Version Catalog Location
+
+All dependencies are managed in: `gradle/libs.versions.toml`
+
+## Update Strategy
+
+### 1. Identify Update Needs
+
+Check for outdated dependencies:
+```bash
+./gradlew dependencyUpdates
+```
+
+Or check manually:
+- Gradle Plugin Portal
+- Maven Central
+- AndroidX release notes
+- Kotlin release notes
+
+### 2. Categorize Updates
+
+**Critical Updates** (Security fixes, critical bugs):
+- Apply immediately
+- Test thoroughly
+- Document in CHANGELOG.md
+
+**Major Version Updates** (Breaking changes possible):
+- Review release notes for breaking changes
+- Update code if needed
+- Test extensively
+- May require API changes
+
+**Minor/Patch Updates** (Backward compatible):
+- Generally safe
+- Still test thoroughly
+- Batch if multiple available
+
+### 3. Update Process
+
+For each dependency update:
+
+1. **Read release notes**: Understand what changed
+2. **Update version**: Edit `gradle/libs.versions.toml`
+3. **Build project**: `./gradlew build --stacktrace`
+4. **Run tests**: `./gradlew testDebug`
+5. **Run linting**: `./gradlew ktlint`
+6. **Test sample app**: Manually verify functionality
+7. **Update CHANGELOG**: Document the update
+
+### 4. Special Considerations
+
+#### Android Gradle Plugin
+- May require Gradle wrapper update
+- Check compatibility matrix
+- May affect build configuration
+- Test both library and sample builds
+
+#### Kotlin
+- Major updates may require code changes
+- Check language feature changes
+- Verify all modules compile
+- Run full test suite
+
+#### AndroidX Libraries
+- Check for API changes
+- Review migration guides
+- Test on multiple Android versions
+- Verify minSdk compatibility
+
+#### Kotlin Coroutines
+- Check for API changes
+- Verify async operations still work
+- Test image loading/cropping flows
+
+#### Build Tools (ktlint, etc.)
+- May change linting rules
+- Run `./gradlew ktlintFormat` after update
+- Fix any new violations
+- Update `.editorconfig` if needed
+
+## Dependencies to Watch
+
+### Critical Dependencies
+1. **Android Gradle Plugin** (`androidgradleplugin`)
+   - Affects build system
+   - Current: Check `gradle/libs.versions.toml`
+   
+2. **Kotlin** (`kotlin`)
+   - Language updates
+   - Current: Check `gradle/libs.versions.toml`
+
+3. **AndroidX Libraries**
+   - Core, AppCompat, Activity, ExifInterface
+   - Check AndroidX release notes
+
+4. **Kotlin Coroutines** (`kotlinxcoroutines`)
+   - Used for async image operations
+   - Breaking changes can affect core functionality
+
+### Development Dependencies
+1. **ktlint** - Code style
+2. **Paparazzi** - Snapshot testing
+3. **Robolectric** - Unit testing
+4. **MockK** - Mocking
+
+### Publishing Dependencies
+1. **gradle-maven-publish-plugin** - Maven publishing
+2. **Dokka** - Documentation generation
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+After any dependency update:
+
+- [ ] `./gradlew clean build --stacktrace` succeeds
+- [ ] `./gradlew testDebug` passes
+- [ ] `./gradlew ktlint` passes (run `ktlintFormat` first if needed)
+- [ ] `./gradlew verifyPaparazziDebug` passes (or record new snapshots)
+- [ ] Sample app builds and runs
+- [ ] Sample app image cropping works correctly
+- [ ] No new Lint warnings
+- [ ] No deprecation warnings (or addressed)
+- [ ] CHANGELOG.md updated
+
+## CHANGELOG.md Format
+
+```markdown
+Version X.Y.Z *(In development)*
+--------------------------------
+
+- Technical: Update [dependency-name] to [new-version]. ([your-github-handle])
+```
+
+## Example Update Session
+
+```markdown
+## Dependency Update: Kotlin 2.0.0 → 2.1.0
+
+### 1. Review Release Notes
+- Read: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew21.html
+- Breaking changes: None identified
+- New features: [list relevant features]
+
+### 2. Update Version
+File: `gradle/libs.versions.toml`
+Change: `kotlin = "2.0.0"` → `kotlin = "2.1.0"`
+
+### 3. Build & Test
+✅ Build successful
+✅ Tests pass
+✅ ktlint passes
+✅ Sample app works
+
+### 4. Update CHANGELOG
+Added entry under "In development" section
+
+### 5. Result
+✅ Ready to commit
+```
+
+## Common Issues & Solutions
+
+### Issue: Build Fails After Update
+**Solution**: 
+1. Check error message for deprecated API usage
+2. Read dependency's migration guide
+3. Update code to use new APIs
+4. Add `@Suppress` temporarily if needed (document why)
+
+### Issue: Tests Fail After Update
+**Solution**:
+1. Check if testing library changed behavior
+2. Update test expectations if behavior change is correct
+3. Check for breaking changes in release notes
+4. Verify tests are still valid
+
+### Issue: New ktlint Rules
+**Solution**:
+1. Run `./gradlew ktlintFormat`
+2. Fix any remaining violations
+3. Update `.editorconfig` to disable if rule doesn't fit project
+4. Document reasoning for disabled rules
+
+### Issue: Paparazzi Snapshots Differ
+**Solution**:
+1. Review snapshot differences
+2. If correct: `./gradlew recordPaparazziDebug`
+3. If incorrect: Fix the issue
+4. Commit new snapshots with update
+
+## Renovate Integration
+
+This project may use Renovate for automated dependency updates:
+- Check `renovate.json` for configuration
+- Renovate may auto-merge minor/patch updates
+- Review Renovate PRs before merging
+- Ensure CI passes before merge
+
+## Safety Guidelines
+
+1. **One category at a time**: Don't mix major updates with minor updates
+2. **Test thoroughly**: Run full test suite
+3. **Read release notes**: Understand what changed
+4. **Incremental updates**: Don't jump multiple major versions
+5. **Document changes**: Always update CHANGELOG.md
+6. **Backwards compatibility**: Ensure minSdk 21 still works

+*Keep dependencies up-to-date, but prioritize stability.*
