122-java-type-design

122-java-type-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jabrena/cursor-rules-examples. It costs 91 tokens per session (580 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for reviewing and improving how Java code represents concepts and relationships. It covers choices such as value objects, generic types, interfaces, collections, and precise number types.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or refactoring Java types, class hierarchies, method signatures, builders, wrappers, and domain models. It is especially relevant to money calculations and choosing between types such as Optional, Set, and List.
Why use it?
It helps make Java code easier to understand, safer to use, and less dependent on vague primitive values such as raw strings or numbers. It also addresses naming and structure problems that make code harder to maintain.

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

122-java-type-design 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.

Type Design Thinking in Java

Review and improve Java code using comprehensive type design principles that apply typography concepts to code structure and organization for maximum clarity and maintainability.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • Clear type hierarchies: nested static classes, logical structure
  • Consistent naming conventions: domain-driven patterns, uniform interface/implementation naming
  • Strategic whitespace for readability
  • Type-safe wrappers: value objects replacing primitive obsession (EmailAddress, Money)
  • Generic type parameters: flexible reusable types, bounded parameters
  • Domain-specific fluent interfaces: builder pattern, method chaining
  • Type "weights": conceptual importance — core domain vs supporting vs utility
  • Type contrast through interfaces: contract vs implementation separation
  • Aligned method signatures: consistent parameter and return types across related classes
  • Self-documenting code: clear descriptive names
  • BigDecimal for precision-sensitive calculations (financial/monetary operations)
  • Strategic type selection: Optional, Set vs List, interfaces over concrete types

Scope: The reference is organized by examples (good/bad code patterns) for each core area. Apply recommendations based on applicable examples.

Constraints

Before applying any type design changes, ensure the project compiles. If compilation fails, stop immediately — do not proceed until resolved. After applying improvements, run full verification.

  • MANDATORY: Run ./mvnw compile or mvn compile before applying any change
  • SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately and do not proceed — compilation failure is a blocking condition
  • VERIFY: Run ./mvnw clean verify or mvn clean verify after applying improvements
  • BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed examples, good/bad patterns, and constraints

When to use this skill

  • Review Java code for type design
  • Improve type design in Java code
  • Fix primitive obsession in Java code
  • Create value objects in Java code
  • Create type hierarchies in Java code
  • Create fluent interfaces in Java code

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.
