tachyon-development

tachyon-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kpavlov/tachyon. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,813 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project rules for Tachyon, a Java and Kotlin server project that uses the Model Context Protocol to connect AI assistants with tools and data. They cover testing, concurrency, JSON, and schema handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when designing, implementing, reviewing, or testing Java and Kotlin server code, MCP messages, fixtures, concurrent code, JSON responses, or schemas.
Why use it?
They reduce integration mistakes by requiring end-to-end tests for behaviour and proper serialization for data sent over the network.

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

tachyon-development 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prime directives

  • ATDD: prefer E2E, unit only for edge cases E2E can't cover. Start e2e tests before prod code.
  • No toString() as a serialization shortcut for structured/wire-facing content (resource results, prompt results, content-block mapping, anything that ends up in a JSON response). toString() on a record/POJO produces its debug form (Foo[bar=1]), not JSON — it silently corrupts the payload instead of failing loudly. Route structured values through the configured PayloadSerializer/codec, or through a proper domain-to-domain mapping (e.g. one content-block type to its counterpart), even for the "shouldn't normally happen" fallback branch. Reserve toString() for values it's actually correct for: String passthrough, numeric/boolean scalars, and well-specified formats like Instant#toString() (RFC-3339).
  • Prefer an import over a fully-qualified name. Fall back to FQN only where two same-named types are genuinely both referenced in one file, and then prefer FQN-ing just the side that isn't this module's own domain type, importing the other, rather than FQN-ing both out of caution.
  • final var over explicit types. Use final for fields/vars where possible.
  • Kotlin API refactors follow the adapter shapes in docs/architecture/guidance.md.
  • Java ServerBuilder is the implementation source of truth. Kotlin adds only thin adaptation for suspend lambdas and Kotlin-specific types; never duplicate validation or registration logic.
  • Treat ../../../examples/weather-mcp and examples/weather-mcp-kotlin as Rosetta Stone examples. Keep their MCP features, metadata, behavior, and coverage functionally identical when changing either one.
  • Keep Kotlin source files focused. At more than 300 lines, consider splitting by owned responsibility before adding code.
  • A public API change (new/changed method, param, wire field, or behavior contract like TTL/null semantics) is not done until its docs are done: update the relevant file under docs/, this skill, and/or docs/architecture/guidance.md in the same change. Don't defer it to a follow-up.

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.
