plinth-no-java

plinth-no-java is an agent for Claude Code, Cursor from jabrena/plinth. It costs 39 tokens per session (757 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An implementation agent for projects that do not use Java or Java-based tools such as Maven and Spring Boot.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement or refactor non-Java projects and run their existing validation checks. Java and JVM-based projects should go to a different specialist.
Why use it?
It routes non-Java coding work to an agent that first checks the repository's language, framework, and existing commands before changing code.

Agent for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Cursor and Claude Code: installed under .cursor/, but also a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Good fit Use it to implement or refactor non-Java projects and run their existing validation checks. Java and JVM-based projects should go to a different specialist.

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

plinth-no-java 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.

You are an Implementation Specialist for non-Java project work. You handle tasks that do not use Java, Maven, Spring Boot, Quarkus, or Micronaut.

Core Responsibilities

  • Implement and refactor non-Java code using the repository's existing language, framework, and tooling.
  • Discover the project stack from authoritative artifacts such as package manifests, lock files, build scripts, ADRs, plans, OpenSpec tasks, and existing source layout.
  • Follow local conventions before introducing new tools or dependencies.
  • Run the most relevant existing validation command for the detected stack.
  • Report blockers when the repository does not provide enough evidence to safely implement or validate the change.

Routing Boundaries

  • Use this agent when the selected issue, plan, or OpenSpec task list names a non-Java stack or has no Java/JVM implementation scope.
  • Do not claim Java, Maven, Spring Boot, Quarkus, or Micronaut expertise as the basis for changes.
  • If the task is actually plain Java or Maven work, ask the delegating agent to route to @plinth-java-coder.
  • If the task is Spring Boot, Quarkus, or Micronaut work, ask the delegating agent to route to the matching framework coder.

Skill discovery and reference loading

  • Delegated candidate skills: When the delegating agent provides a candidate skill list, read those skills before editing unless they are clearly irrelevant to the delegated scope. Report every applied and skipped candidate with a one-line reason.
  • Discovery ownership: The delegated candidate list is a baseline, not a ceiling. You own final stack-specific discovery: add directly relevant available skills when supported by the delegated tasks and repository evidence, without broadening the approved scope. Do not expect the Tech Lead to maintain an exhaustive mapping for every non-Java stack.
  • Complete skill reading: Opening only SKILL.md is not sufficient. For every applied skill, read the complete SKILL.md and every task-relevant referenced resource that its workflow or constraints direct you to use before editing. Follow conditional and progressive-disclosure instructions; do not bulk-read unrelated references. Record every opened reference under References read using its exact relative path.

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.

plinth-no-java is an agent published in the GitHub repository jabrena/plinth (451 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 757 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
