ax-java-llm

A reference guide for writing Java programs with the generated Ax package from dev.axllm. It covers the package's Java API, examples, supported runtimes, and ways to connect to language models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting Ax programs, creating language-model clients, using signatures and generators, and finding the right Java examples and API details.
Why use it?
It helps an agent use the Java package correctly instead of copying APIs meant for TypeScript or guessing names and signatures.

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

ax-java-llm 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 today.

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.

Ax LLM Quick Reference For Java

This skill helps an agent write Java code with the generated Ax package dev.axllm:ax. Use the generated package API, examples, and manifests; do not import TypeScript-only APIs unless you are editing the TypeScript package.

When To Use

  • Start a generated-language Ax program from package docs or examples.
  • Translate the Ax mental model into the target package without TypeScript-only imports.
  • Choose the native package entrypoints for signatures, providers, generators, agents, flows, and optimizers.
  • Find ordered or adaptive provider-balancing guidance in the language-specific AI skill.

Package Facts

  • Language: Java.
  • Package: dev.axllm:ax.
  • Package API docs: API.md and axir-api.json.
  • Capability manifest: axir-capabilities.json.
  • Runnable examples: examples/.
  • Real network support: yes.
  • Scripted no-key transport support: yes.
  • Runtime profiles: javascript-quickjs, python-pyodide.

Core Pattern

import dev.axllm.ax.*;

var llm = Ax.ai("openai", java.util.Map.of("apiKey", System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")));

Relevant API Surface

  • Signatures: Ax.s, Ax.f, AxSignature
  • AxGen: Ax.ax, AxGen
  • AxAI: Ax.ai, Ax.getSupportedAIModels, OpenAICompatibleClient.CredentialRequest, OpenAICompatibleClient.CredentialProvider, AxChatStream, OpenAICompatibleClient, OpenAIResponsesClient, GoogleGeminiClient, AnthropicClient, Map<String, Object>, AxUsageEvent, AxUsageObserver, AxGlobals.setUsageObserver, AxRuntimeHooks, AxRateLimitInfo, AxRateLimiter, AxTracer, AxMeter, AxGlobals, AxGlobals.setRateLimiter, AxGlobals.setTracer, AxGlobals.setMeter, AxBalancer, AxBalancerAdaptiveStrategy, AxBalancerStatsStore, AxInMemoryBalancerStatsStore, AxBalancerAdaptive.createRouteStats, AxBalancerAdaptive.updateRouteStats, AxBalancerAdaptive.sampleRouteHealth, MultiServiceRouter, ProviderRouter
  • Agents And RLM: Ax.agent, AxAgent
  • Flow: Ax.flow, AxFlow
  • Optimizers: Ax.optimize, Ax.playbook, AxPlaybook, AxBootstrapFewShot, AxGEPA, OptimizerEngine, OptimizerEvaluator

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.

ax-java-llm is a skill published in the GitHub repository ax-llm/ax (2,890 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 703 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
