Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00094 | $0.00526 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.00263 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00105 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
141-java-refactoring-with-modern-features 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 4d 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
Modern Java Development Guidelines (Java 8+)
Identify and apply modern Java (Java 8+) refactoring opportunities to improve readability, maintainability, and performance.
What is covered in this Skill?
- Lambda expressions and method references (over anonymous classes)
- Stream API for declarative collection processing
Optionalfor null-safe APIsjava.timeAPI (replacingDate/Calendar)- Default interface methods,
vartype inference - Unmodifiable collection factory methods (
List.of(),Set.of(),Map.of()) - Text blocks for multi-line strings
- Java 25 Flexible Constructor Bodies (JEP 513)
- Java 25 Module Import Declarations (JEP 511)
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 modern Java refactoring, ensure the project compiles. If compilation fails, stop immediately — do not proceed until the project compiles successfully. After applying improvements, run full verification.
- MANDATORY: Run
./mvnw compileormvn compilebefore applying any changes - SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately — do not proceed until the project compiles successfully
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verifyormvn clean verifyafter applying improvements - BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed good/bad examples, constraints, and safeguards for each modern Java feature
When to use this skill
- Review Java code for modern Java development
- Apply best practices for modern Java development in Java code

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.
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.

141-java-refactoring-with-modern-features is a skill published in the GitHub repository jabrena/cursor-rules-examples (2 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 526 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.

Spring Boot architecture patterns, REST API design, layered services, data access, caching, async processing, and logging. Use for Java Spring Boot backend work.
debugging
Debugs difficult, intermittent, cross-layer, or regression bugs evidence before fixes. Use when the cause is unknown, normal debugging stalled, or the user asks to hunt, diagnose, or root-cause a bug.

Elaya audit for existing sites/apps that look generic, cheap, or AI-made. Diagnose first, then fix in place (fonts, color, states, layout, motion). Use when Mario says polish, audit, upgrade, or it looks horrible. Product apps apply diagnosis through premium-ui-craft values, not Elaya black/Geist/700ms. Upstream…
