Modern Java 21+ language standards including Records, Pattern Matching, and Virtual Threads.

  • Java language constructs
  • SKILL.md covers Priority: P0 (CRITICAL), Implementation Guidelines, Anti-Patterns and References, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Java-to-Java upgrades

What it does

Java Language is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Modern Java 21+ language standards including Records, Pattern Matching, and Virtual Threads. Use for Java language constructs or Java-to-Java upgrades; defer Kotlin, tests, formatting/build tools, CompletableFuture, builder patterns, and isolated null-handling questions.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/example.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Android development. It works with Java and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Java language constructs
  • Java-to-Java upgrades
  • Formatting/build tools
  • CompletableFuture

Example prompts

  • “/java-language”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 266fd75. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Java Language loads about 616 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 210 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~616
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Java Language Patterns

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Implementation Guidelines

  • Records: Use record for immutable DTOs/Value Objects. Records auto-generate equals, hashCode, toString. Avoid Lombok @Data on Pojos.
  • Local Variables: Use var for inferred types. Explicitly type interface variables.
  • Switch: Use Switch Expressions (->) and Pattern Matching over complex if/else chains.
  • Text Blocks: Use "" (Text Blocks) for JSON, SQL, or multi-line strings.
  • Pattern Matching: Use instanceof with pattern binding: if (obj instanceof String s).
  • Sealed Classes: Use sealed interface/class with permits clause for domain-driven restricted hierarchies. Switch expressions then exhaustive switch (compiler-verified).
  • Collections: Use List.of(), Map.of(), and Set.of() for immutable collections.
  • Streams: Use stream() pipelines for functional transformations. Use .toList() (Java 16+).
  • Optional: Utilize Optional<T> for return types. Use .ifPresentOrElse() or .orElseThrow().
  • Virtual Threads: Favor Executors.newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor() for I/O-heavy workloads.

Anti-Patterns

  • No Nulls: Return Optional or empty collections; avoid null parameters.
  • No Raw Types: Always use generics; never use raw List or Map.
  • No Old Switch: Use switch expressions (->); avoid fall-through.
  • No Manual get/set: Use Records or value objects instead.
  • No synchronized blocks: Use java.util.concurrent or Virtual Threads instead.

What does Java Language need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Java Language is instructions for the agent only.

Does Java Language access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Java Language safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Java Language use?

How many tokens does Java Language use?

About 616 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 505 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
