neqsim-java8-rules

neqsim-java8-rules is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from equinor/neqsim. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,312 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for writing NeqSim Java code that compiles with Java 8. It lists newer Java features to avoid and the older equivalents to use instead.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing NeqSim Java source code and tests, including checking imports, syntax, APIs, and JavaDoc.
Why use it?
It prevents builds and continuous-integration checks from failing because code uses language or library features unavailable in Java 8.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 65
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

neqsim-java8-rules 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.

Java 8 Compatibility Rules for NeqSim

All NeqSim Java code — including test classes in src/test/java/ — MUST compile with Java 8. The CI build will FAIL if you use Java 9+ features.

Forbidden Java 9+ Features

Forbidden Java 8 Alternative
var x = ... Explicit type: String x = ..., Map<String, Object> map = ...
List.of(a, b) Arrays.asList(a, b) or Collections.singletonList(a)
Set.of(a, b) new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(a, b))
Map.of(k, v) Collections.singletonMap(k, v) or new HashMap<>()
"str".repeat(n) StringUtils.repeat("str", n) (Apache Commons)
str.isBlank() str.trim().isEmpty()
str.strip() str.trim()
str.lines() str.split("\\R") or BufferedReader
Optional.isEmpty() !optional.isPresent()
Text blocks """...""" Regular strings with \n
Records Regular class with fields, constructor, getters
Pattern matching instanceof Traditional instanceof + cast
Stream.toList() .collect(Collectors.toList())

Common var Replacements

// WRONG (Java 10+):
var map = someMethod.toMap();
var list = getItems();
var result = calculate();

// CORRECT (Java 8):
Map<String, Object> map = someMethod.toMap();
List<String> list = getItems();
CalculationResult result = calculate();

Required Import for String Repeat

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;
// Usage: StringUtils.repeat("=", 70)

Code Formatting (Spotless) — MANDATORY

AI-generated Java is NOT auto-formatted. After creating or editing ANY .java file, reformat it before committing — do not rely on local pre-commit hooks being installed:

./mvnw spotless:apply    # reformats Java to the project style (Eclipse profile)
./mvnw spotless:check    # verifies formatting — this is what CI runs
  • Formatter profile: .config/neqsim_formatter.xml (configured in pom.xml), applied to src/main/java and src/test/java.
  • CI runs ./mvnw spotless:check and FAILS the build on any unformatted file.
  • Run spotless:apply, then git add the reformatted files, then commit.
  • NEVER bypass the gate with git commit --no-verify.

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.
