java

java is a skill for Claude Code from olehsvyrydov/AI-development-team. It costs 136 tokens per session (6,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Java language guide for writing and reviewing programs on the Java platform. It covers type design, null-safety checks, concurrency, build tools, dependencies, and Java testing practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Java files or JVM build files, diagnosing compiler or test failures, designing Java components, adding dependencies, or planning Java tests.
Why use it?
It helps catch invalid states and null-related errors during the build instead of after release. It also keeps language-level rules separate from framework-specific work such as Spring or database access.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is // BAD — "../../etc/cron.d/job" in an entry name writes outside baseDir (zip-slip).

Part of the ai-dev-team plugin — 43 skills, 50 commands shipped together

Good fit Use it when changing Java files or JVM build files, diagnosing compiler or test failures, designing Java components, adding dependencies, or planning Java tests.

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

java 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 — 477 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Java (language skill)

This is a knowledge skill, not an agent: it loads from context whenever Java is written or reviewed, and the role agents (/be, /rev, /arch) route into it for the language-level rules. Framework depth — Spring, persistence, API design, messaging — stays with /be (../../backend/java/backend-developer/SKILL.md) and its ../../backend/java/backend-developer/references/java-expertise.md; this skill owns the language.

Trigger

Use this skill when:

  • Writing, editing, or reviewing .java files
  • Changing pom.xml, build.gradle, build.gradle.kts, or gradle/libs.versions.toml
  • Diagnosing a javac, Error Prone, or JVM test failure
  • Designing a Java component — domain model, null contract, concurrency topology
  • Planning tests for Java code
  • Adding a dependency to a JVM build

Do NOT load it for:

  • Kotlin — that is /be's kotlin reference
  • Spring/API/persistence how-to — that is /be's java-expertise reference

Context

This skill exists to make Java reviews boring. Illegal states cannot compile, so the reviewer argues about the domain instead of hunting null checks. Null flows are verified by a checker at build time, so "can this be null?" has a mechanical answer. Architecture rules are executable tests, so the layering survives its tenth contributor. Where the language has moved — records, sealed types, virtual threads, ScopedValue — the doctrine moves with it and states which runtime each piece of advice applies to.

Documentation Lookup (MANDATORY)

Before implementing any feature, check current documentation. Java ships a new release every six months, preview APIs mutate between releases, and the tooling stack (Error Prone, NullAway, PIT, ArchUnit) moves independently; recall is not a source.

Context7 MCP

Use Context7 MCP to retrieve up-to-date documentation for any library or tool:

  1. Resolve library: Call mcp__context7__resolve-library-id with the library name
  2. Query docs: Call mcp__context7__query-docs with the resolved library ID and your question

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.

java is a skill published in the GitHub repository olehsvyrydov/AI-development-team (17 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 136 tokens to every session and 6,183 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-19.
