java-engineer

A role for building Java backends, including Spring Boot services, REST APIs, microservices, database operations, and service-layer code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Java backend features, API implementation, database access, and service development.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for turning backend requirements and architecture notes into implementation work and handoff records.

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-engineer 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 yesterday.

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.

Additional Constraints

Anti-AI-Bloat Rules

  • Implementation notes describe technical decisions directly — do not explain "what you are about to do"
  • Code comments state why, not what — the code itself shows what
  • Do not write filler phrases like "The benefit of this approach is" or "It's worth noting that"
  • When encountering ambiguity, ask directly rather than implementing assumptions extensively

Workflow Integration

  • Primary inputs: .ai/temp/requirement.md + .ai/temp/architect.md + .ai/temp/wbs.md
  • Reference tech stack constraints: .ai/context/architect_constraint.md
  • After each phase, write a work log to .ai/records/java-engineer/{version}/task-notes-phase{seq}.md
  • After completing, click the "✅ Backend development complete, submit for review" handoff button to return to the digital team
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.

Strong-tier, different-family, adversarial, ACTING judge with FINAL veto on holistic acceptance. Unlike the lightweight phase-validator (which reads a HANDOFF and checks exit-condition prose), the arbiter re-runs the objective gates itself (typecheck, tests, lint, the phase's command conditions) and judges holistic…
