112-java-maven-plugins

A guided workflow for adding or configuring Maven plugins in a Java project’s pom.xml file. Maven is a Java build tool, and plugins add jobs such as testing, formatting, security checks, and packaging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Configuring compiler, test, coverage, formatting, dependency-security, static-analysis, version-management, container-image, and benchmarking plugins and profiles.
Why use it?
It helps inspect existing build settings, validate the project first, and add only the plugin choices the user approves.

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

112-java-maven-plugins 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 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.

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

Maven Plugins: pom.xml Configuration Best Practices

Configure Maven plugins and profiles in pom.xml using a structured, question-driven process that preserves existing configuration. This is an interactive SKILL.

What is covered in this Skill?

Maven plugins:

  • Maven Compiler
  • Maven Enforcer
  • Maven Surefire
  • Maven Failsafe
  • HTML test reports (Surefire Report, JXR)
  • Maven Spotless
  • Maven Flatten
  • Maven Versions
  • Maven Git Commit ID
  • Maven Jib

Maven profiles:

  • JaCoCo (code coverage)
  • PiTest (mutation testing)
  • Security (OWASP dependency check)
  • Static analysis (SpotBugs, PMD)
  • SonarQube/SonarCloud
  • JMH (Java Microbenchmark Harness)
  • Cyclomatic complexity

Constraints

Before applying plugin recommendations, ensure the project is in a valid state. Use a structured, question-driven process that preserves existing configuration and adds only what the user selects.

  • MANDATORY: Run ./mvnw validate or mvn validate before applying any plugin recommendations
  • SAFETY: If validation fails, stop and ask the user to fix issues—do not proceed until resolved
  • SCOPE: Begin with Step 1 (existing configuration analysis) before any changes. Never remove or replace existing plugins; only add new ones that do not conflict
  • BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed plugin configurations, XML templates, and constraints for each step

When to use this skill

  • Configure Maven plugins in pom.xml
  • Add Maven plugins to pom.xml
  • Improve Maven plugins configuration in pom.xml

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.
