graalvm-expert

graalvm-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kinhluan/rules-quarkus-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (870 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialised reference for GraalVM, a Java-based runtime that can also run other languages, including its Native Image compiler for building standalone programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Answering questions about GraalVM Native Image, polyglot Java applications, reflection configuration, resource files, dynamic proxies, and native-build settings for Maven or Gradle projects.
Why use it?
It helps explain restrictions that appear when compiling JVM applications ahead of time, such as code loaded dynamically at runtime. It covers reflection, resources, proxies, startup initialisation, and memory management.

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

graalvm-expert 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 12d 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.

High-Performance Polyglot & Native VM Expert Skill - Specialized in GraalVM AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compilation.

Core Mandates

  • AOT Mindset: Understand that Native Image has a "Closed-world assumption" (all bytecode must be known at build time).
  • Reflection Discipline: Mandate reflection-config.json for any dynamic class loading or reflection usage.
  • Initialization Policy: Differentiate between Build-time initialization (faster startup, smaller image) and Runtime initialization (safer for classes with side effects).
  • Polyglot Strategy: Leverage GraalVM SDK for high-performance interoperability between Java, JS, Python, and Ruby.

Native Image Mastery

  • Native Image Agent: Using java -agentlib:native-image-agent to automatically generate configuration files.
  • Resource Management: Config for resource-config.json to include static assets in the native binary.
  • Dynamic Proxy: Configuring proxy-config.json for Java dynamic proxies.
  • Substrate VM: Understanding memory management and GC options (G1 vs Serial) in native binaries.

GraalVM + Build Systems

  • Maven/Gradle: Using the GraalVM Native Build Tools plugins.
  • Bazel Integration: Configuring rules_graalvm and toolchains for hermetic native builds.
  • Quarkus Native: Troubleshooting Quarkus-specific native image failures (often related to extensions or transitive libraries).

Optimization & Performance

  • PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization): Collecting profiles from JIT runs to optimize AOT binaries.
  • Graal JIT: Using Graal as a replacement for C2 compiler in standard JVM mode for better performance in modern Java.
  • Static Analysis: Interpreting GraalVM build-time reports (reachability analysis).

Expert Tips

  • Always check reflect-config.json if you get ClassNotFoundException in a native binary.
  • Prefer quarkus.native.additional-build-args for passing low-level GraalVM flags.
  • Use --trace-class-initialization to debug complex initialization order issues.

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.
