Java-specific tooling, documentation standards, testing practices, and modern idioms. Use when working with Java code or Java-based projects on the JVM.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Java Programmer

## Purpose

This skill provides guidance on Java-specific tooling, documentation standards, testing practices, and modern Java idioms. Java is a statically-typed, object-oriented language with a massive ecosystem and strong backwards compatibility guarantees. This skill focuses on navigating the Java ecosystem effectively, writing maintainable Java code, and applying functional programming concepts within Java's constraints.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:
- Working with Java codebases (any version, but especially Java 8+)
- Making decisions about build tools, testing frameworks, or dependencies
- Writing Javadoc documentation
- Writing JUnit tests
- Applying functional programming patterns in Java
- Navigating the JVM ecosystem (choosing between JVM languages)

## Core Philosophy

**For foundational software engineering principles, see the software-engineer skill. For OOP principles (SOLID, GoF patterns), see the object-oriented-programmer skill.**

### Java's Strengths and Constraints

Java excels in specific contexts but has limitations compared to more modern languages.

**Where Java shines:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pyroxin/opinionated-claude-skills/java-programmer@sha256:5d1a7208063e6d7e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20251129.c7223ee, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
