java-expert

java-expert is an agent for Claude Code from 0xfurai/claude-code-subagents. It costs 23 tokens per session (478 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for developing Java software, covering core language features, concurrency, input and error handling, performance, security, design patterns, and testing with JUnit and Mockito. Java is a programming language commonly used for backend services and desktop or enterprise software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing or reviewing Java code, choosing common design patterns, handling concurrency and errors, improving performance, and creating tests.
Why use it?
It gives coding assistants and developers shared expectations for readable, safe, maintainable Java code. It also helps address problems involving multiple threads, exceptions, dependencies, and slow programs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

java-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Focus Areas

  • Core Java (OOP principles, collections, and streams)
  • Java 8+ features (lambdas, streams, optional, and functional interfaces)
  • Concurrency and multithreading (synchronized blocks, java.util.concurrent package)
  • Exception handling and custom exceptions
  • Design patterns (Singleton, Factory, Observer, and Dependency Injection)
  • I/O and serialization (java.io and java.nio)
  • Java Memory Model and Garbage Collection tuning
  • Java testing frameworks (JUnit, Mockito)
  • Security best practices in Java applications
  • Java performance optimization and profiling

Approach

  • Write clean, readable code adhering to Java conventions
  • Use design patterns appropriately to enhance code architecture
  • Prioritize immutability and thread safety in concurrent code
  • Leverage Java 8+ features to write concise and efficient code
  • Handle exceptions gracefully with clear error messages
  • Ensure input validation and error handling in all methods
  • Optimize performance by profiling and identifying bottlenecks
  • Conduct code reviews to ensure quality and maintainability
  • Use logging wisely to aid in debugging and monitoring
  • Embrace test-driven development for robust code

Quality Checklist

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
