What it does
Null Safety is an agent skill from rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills. Use when annotating nullability in Spring Boot 4 / Spring Framework 7, migrating to JSpecify, integrating Kotlin, or enabling build-time null checks with NullAway.
Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development and Android development. It works with Spring Boot and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: Production-grade Claude Code and Codex skills for Spring Boot developers. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Annotating nullability in Spring Boot 4 / Spring Framework 7
- Migrating to JSpecify
- Integrating Kotlin
- Enabling build-time null checks with NullAway
Example prompts
- “/null-safety”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f0c06a0. 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
Ships script files (Java), which the agent can run.
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
Null Safety loads about 491 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 187 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Use when annotating nullability in Spring Boot 4 / Spring Framework 7, migrating to JSpecify, integrating Kotlin, or enabling build-time null checks with NullAway.
Null Safety with JSpecify (Boot 4)
Spring Framework 7 adopts JSpecify for nullability. Use org.jspecify.annotations for new code
and migrate away from the older Spring nullability annotations at module boundaries.
Mark packages and annotate exceptions
@NullMarked
package com.example.orders;
import org.jspecify.annotations.NullMarked;Inside a null-marked package, types are non-null by default. Annotate only genuine exceptions:
@Nullable
Order findActive(String customerEmail) { ... }
List<@Nullable String> namesWithGaps; // non-null list, nullable elements
@Nullable List<String> maybeNoList; // nullable list, non-null elementsUse Object @Nullable [] for a nullable array and @Nullable Object[] for a non-null array whose
elements may be null. Add the JSpecify dependency through the Boot dependency management.
JSpecify is metadata. IntelliJ can inspect it, while NullAway with JSpecifyMode=true can enforce
the contract during compilation. Kotlin consumes the annotations as real nullability.
Gotchas
- Agent uses
org.springframework.lang.Nullablein new Framework 7 code - prefer JSpecify. - Agent annotates every parameter with
@NonNull- use package-level@NullMarkedand mark exceptions. - Agent writes
@Nullable List<String>for nullable elements - useList<@Nullable String>. - Agent puts
@Nullableon the wrong side of an array type - distinguish nullable arrays from nullable elements. - Agent expects annotations alone to fail the build - add NullAway or enable IDE inspections.
- Agent forgets
package-info.java- without@NullMarked, most checks remain unknown. - Agent mixes JSpecify and legacy Spring annotations in one module - migrate the module consistently.
