## What java-agent-skills does, in the publisher's words

> Agent Skills for Java projects, following the open Agent Skills specification

This project is not affiliated with Anthropic.

A collection of reusable skills (structured markdown files that give an AI agent domain knowledge and workflows), plus project templates, MCP server configurations, and setup scripts.

- Token efficiency: Designed for fewer iterations and lower token usage
- Reproducible patterns: Reusable workflows across projects
- Java ecosystem: Tailored for Java/Maven development
- Incremental adoption: Start small, expand as needed

## Skills

- api-contract-review: Review REST API contracts for HTTP semantics, versioning, backward compatibility, and response consistency. Use when user asks "review API", "check endpoints", "REST review", or before releasing API changes.
- architecture-review: Analyze Java project architecture at macro level, package structure, module boundaries, dependency direction, and layering. Use when user asks "review architecture", "check structure", "package organization", or when evaluating if a codebase follows clean architecture principles.
- changelog-generator: Generate changelogs from git commits. Use when user says "generate changelog", "update changelog", "what changed since last release", or before preparing a new release.
- clean-code: Clean Code principles (DRY, KISS, YAGNI), naming, function design and readability. Use when code is hard to read, with long methods, unclear names, duplication or deep nesting. For how responsibilities are split across classes and which way dependencies point, use solid-principles instead.
- concurrency-review: Review Java concurrency code for thread safety, race conditions, deadlocks, and modern patterns (Virtual Threads, CompletableFuture, @Async). Use when user asks "check thread safety", "concurrency review", "async code review", or when reviewing multi-threaded code.
- design-patterns: Common design patterns with Java examples (Factory, Builder, Strategy, Observer, Decorator, etc.). Use when user asks "implement pattern", "use factory", "strategy pattern", or when designing extensible components.
- git-commit: Generate conventional commit messages for Java projects. Use when user says "commit", "create commit", "commit changes", or after completing code changes that need to be committed.
- issue-triage: Triage and categorize GitHub issues with priority labels. Use when user says "triage issues", "check issues", "review open issues", or during regular maintenance of GitHub issue backlog.
- java-code-review: Systematic code review for Java with null safety, exception handling, concurrency, and performance checks. Use when user says "review code", "check this PR", "code review", or before merging changes.
- java-migration: Guide for upgrading Java projects between major versions (8→11→17→21→25). Use when user says "upgrade Java", "migrate to Java 25", "update Java version", or when modernizing legacy projects.
- jpa-patterns: JPA/Hibernate patterns and common pitfalls (N+1, lazy loading, transactions, queries). Use when user has JPA performance issues, LazyInitializationException, or asks about entity relationships and fetching strategies.
- logging-patterns: Java logging best practices with SLF4J, structured logging (JSON), and MDC for request tracing. Includes AI-friendly log formats for Claude Code debugging. Use when user asks about logging, debugging application flow, or analyzing logs.
