python-to-java

python-to-java is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AdamBien/airails. It costs 118 tokens per session (423 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for rewriting Python scripts as command-line programs in Java 25, using only Java's built-in libraries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when moving Python scripts or a Python codebase to Java, including argument handling, files, processes, concurrency, and standard-library features.
Why use it?
It provides a way to decide whether each script should become one Java file or a small multi-file project, while accounting for shared code between scripts.

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

python-to-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.

What it actually says

Python to Java Migration

Convert Python scripts to idiomatic Java 25 CLI programs with zero external dependencies.

Decision: Single-File vs Multi-File

Evaluate before writing any code:

  1. Start with /java-cli-script — one Java file per Python script, no build tool
  2. Switch to /java-cli-app when any of these apply:
    • Multiple scripts share >100 lines of identical code (e.g. domain records)
    • A single script exceeds ~500 lines
    • Scripts import from each other in Python (from module import func)

When switching to /java-cli-app, extract shared code into common source files within the multi-file project.

Migration Process

  1. Read all Python scripts — understand dependencies between them (import graph)
  2. Identify shared code — utils.py, common helpers, shared data classes
  3. Decide single-file vs multi-file per the rules above
  4. Translate each script using the idiom mapping below
  5. Verify — run each script with -version to confirm compilation

Python to Java 25 Idiom Mapping

See references/idiom-mapping.md for the complete translation table covering argument parsing, file I/O, subprocess management, concurrency, and standard library equivalents.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
