java-cli-script

java-cli-script is a skill for Claude Code from AdamBien/airails. It costs 105 tokens per session (2,694 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

Instructions for creating a self-contained Java command-line script in one executable file. The script runs directly with Java’s source-file mode and can be called like a normal terminal command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them for PATH-installed utilities, shell-like Java scripts, and single-file command-line tools. Larger programs should use a multi-file application approach instead.
Why use it?
They define how to make a small Java utility without a project structure, build tool, compilation step, or external dependencies.

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 B, and why

java-cli-script scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create or maintain a zero-dependency, single-file executable Java script using $ARGUMENTS. Apply all rules below strictly.

Purpose

These are self-contained, single-file Java scripts installed in a PATH directory (e.g., /usr/local/bin) and invoked like any shell command — no project structure, no build tool, no .java extension.

Composition

  • Follow /java-conventions for all generic Java 25 style, syntax, naming, methods, streams, exceptions, and comments
  • The rules below specialize /java-conventions for single-file source-mode scripts; when this skill is silent on a topic, /java-conventions applies

Single-File Constraint

  • Everything lives in one file — all logic, records, enums, sealed types, and helper methods
  • When a script grows longer or more complex, apply BCE Layer Grouping before considering a switch — grouping extends single-file viability considerably
  • Past roughly 1000 lines even a grouped single file fights the medium — suggest switching to the java-cli-app skill, unless single-file deployment (copy one file to PATH, edit in place, no build) is the binding constraint
  • No multi-file source-code programs — this skill is strictly for single-file scripts

Build

  • Use Java 25 source-file mode — no build tool, no compilation step
  • Never use the .java extension — scripts are executable files with a lowercase filename and a shebang
  • Never use --enable-preview in the shebang — Java 25 is a GA release, all features used here are standard
  • The shebang line is always:
#!/usr/bin/env -S java --source 25
  • Save with a short, descriptive, lowercase command name (e.g., jsonformat, portcheck, sysinfo)
  • Never use dashes in filenames (e.g., hello-world) — Java source-file mode does not support them. Use camelCase instead (e.g., helloWorld)
  • Mark executable: chmod +x scriptname
  • Install by copying or symlinking to a PATH directory: cp scriptname /usr/local/bin/ or ln -s $(pwd)/scriptname /usr/local/bin/scriptname

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.
