union-type-wrappers

union-type-wrappers is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Azure/azure-sdk-for-java. It costs 49 tokens per session (3,164 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-generation fix for Java models where a field can contain more than one possible type but is exposed only as generic BinaryData. It adds typed getters and setters for those alternatives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in a Java SDK module to add type-safe accessors for union fields generated from TypeSpec definitions.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually read and write untyped JSON-like data when working with generated Java classes.

About the project

Azure SDK for Java is a collection of Java libraries that let applications connect to and manage Azure services. Java developers use its client libraries to consume services and its management libraries to configure Azure resources. The catalogue add-ons support development with these libraries.

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

union-type-wrappers 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.

Union Type Wrappers for Generated Java Models

When the Java codegen encounters a TypeSpec union type (e.g. string | SomeModel), it emits the property as BinaryData. This skill replaces public BinaryData accessors with typed setters and getters for each union variant, following the same pattern established for PromptAgentDefinition.toolChoice.

Preconditions

  • You must be in a Java SDK module directory containing tsp-location.yaml and pom.xml.
  • TypeSpec sources must be available in TempTypeSpecFiles/. If missing, run tsp-client sync first.
  • The project must compile before starting.

Important: BinaryData.writeTo(JsonWriter) semantics

Understanding how BinaryData writes to JSON is critical for choosing the correct factory method:

Factory method Content type writeTo(JsonWriter) calls JSON output
BinaryData.fromString("auto") StringContent jsonWriter.writeString("auto") "auto" (quoted)
BinaryData.fromObject("auto") SerializableContent jsonWriter.writeRawValue(...) "auto" (quoted via Jackson)
BinaryData.fromObject(42.0) SerializableContent jsonWriter.writeRawValue(...) 42.0 (raw)
BinaryData.fromObject(true) SerializableContent jsonWriter.writeRawValue(...) true (raw)
BinaryData.fromObject(jsonSerializable) SerializableContent jsonWriter.writeRawValue(...) {...} (JSON object via JacksonAdapter)

Key: JacksonAdapter has special handling for JsonSerializable types — BinaryData.fromObject() and BinaryData.toObject() both work correctly with Azure JsonSerializable models.

Setter factory method rules

Union variant Factory method Reason
String value (ID, enum token) BinaryData.fromString(value) Writes as JSON string via writeString()
Numeric / boolean primitive BinaryData.fromObject(value) Writes as raw JSON value
Azure JsonSerializable model BinaryData.fromObject(value) JacksonAdapter handles serialization
Stainless (openai-java) type BinaryData.fromObject(value) Jackson handles serialization
