At a glance

Java coding standards for Spring Boot services: naming, immutability, Optional usage, streams, exceptions, generics, and project layout.

  • Tasks that involve Code quality
  • SKILL.md covers Core Principles, Naming, Immutability and Optional Usage, plus 9 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Backend development

What it does

Java Coding Standards is an agent skill from vibeeval/vibecosystem. Java coding standards for Spring Boot services: naming, immutability, Optional usage, streams, exceptions, generics, and project layout.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Code quality and Backend development. It works with Java and Spring Boot. The repository describes itself as: AI software team for Claude Code - 138 agents, 295 skills, 73 hooks. Self-learning, multi-agent swarm, autonomous skill evolution. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Code quality
  • Tasks that involve Backend development

Example prompts

  • “/java-coding-standards”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3b763b1. 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 (its code samples are java).

    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 Coding Standards loads about 877 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 207 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~877

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 Coding Standards

Standards for readable, maintainable Java (17+) code in Spring Boot services.

Core Principles

  • Prefer clarity over cleverness
  • Immutable by default; minimize shared mutable state
  • Fail fast with meaningful exceptions
  • Consistent naming and package structure

Naming

java
// ✅ Classes/Records: PascalCase
public class MarketService {}
public record Money(BigDecimal amount, Currency currency) {}

// ✅ Methods/fields: camelCase
private final MarketRepository marketRepository;
public Market findBySlug(String slug) {}

// ✅ Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
private static final int MAX_PAGE_SIZE = 100;

Immutability

java
// ✅ Favor records and final fields
public record MarketDto(Long id, String name, MarketStatus status) {}

public class Market {
  private final Long id;
  private final String name;
  // getters only, no setters
}

Optional Usage

java
// ✅ Return Optional from find* methods
Optional<Market> market = marketRepository.findBySlug(slug);

// ✅ Map/flatMap instead of get()
return market
    .map(MarketResponse::from)
    .orElseThrow(() -> new EntityNotFoundException("Market not found"));

Streams Best Practices

java
// ✅ Use streams for transformations, keep pipelines short
List<String> names = markets.stream()
    .map(Market::name)
    .filter(Objects::nonNull)
    .toList();

// ❌ Avoid complex nested streams; prefer loops for clarity

Exceptions

  • Use unchecked exceptions for domain errors; wrap technical exceptions with context
  • Create domain-specific exceptions (e.g., MarketNotFoundException)
  • Avoid broad catch (Exception ex) unless rethrowing/logging centrally
java
throw new MarketNotFoundException(slug);

Generics and Type Safety

  • Avoid raw types; declare generic parameters
  • Prefer bounded generics for reusable utilities
java
public <T extends Identifiable> Map<Long, T> indexById(Collection<T> items) { ... }

Project Structure (Maven/Gradle)

src/main/java/com/example/app/
  config/
  controller/
  service/
  repository/
  domain/
  dto/
  util/
src/main/resources/
  application.yml
src/test/java/... (mirrors main)

Formatting and Style

  • Use 2 or 4 spaces consistently (project standard)
  • One public top-level type per file
  • Keep methods short and focused; extract helpers
  • Order members: constants, fields, constructors, public methods, protected, private

Code Smells to Avoid

  • Long parameter lists → use DTO/builders
  • Deep nesting → early returns
  • Magic numbers → named constants
  • Static mutable state → prefer dependency injection
  • Silent catch blocks → log and act or rethrow

Logging

java
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MarketService.class);
log.info("fetch_market slug={}", slug);
log.error("failed_fetch_market slug={}", slug, ex);

Null Handling

  • Accept @Nullable only when unavoidable; otherwise use @NonNull
  • Use Bean Validation (@NotNull, @NotBlank) on inputs

Testing Expectations

  • JUnit 5 + AssertJ for fluent assertions
  • Mockito for mocking; avoid partial mocks where possible
  • Favor deterministic tests; no hidden sleeps

Remember: Keep code intentional, typed, and observable. Optimize for maintainability over micro-optimizations unless proven necessary.

Can I use Java Coding Standards in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add vibeeval/vibecosystem --skill java-coding-standards -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/java-coding-standards, .gemini/skills/java-coding-standards, .github/skills/java-coding-standards and .opencode/skills/java-coding-standards in your project.

What does Java Coding Standards need to run?

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

Does Java Coding Standards 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.
