GraalVM Native Image: closed-world reachability, dynamic-feature metadata, class initialization and image-heap state, CPU targeting, GC and PGO choices, observability, and fair comparison with HotSpot. Use when deciding whether AOT fits a workload, diagnosing build or runtime-only failures, or validating startup, footprint, latency, throughput, build-cost, portability, and security trade-offs. Does not cover Graal as a JVM JIT (graalvm-jit), JVM-preserving startup strategies…

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

# GraalVM Native Image

## Purpose

Choose Native Image only when its measured lifecycle economics and runtime behavior fit the
workload. Ordinary closed-world AOT avoids runtime compilation and can materially improve cold
startup and initial footprint, but it exchanges HotSpot's adaptive optimization and dynamic runtime for a longer,
more resource-intensive build, a closed-world compatibility contract, and different GC and
diagnostic capabilities. Neither Native Image nor a warmed JVM has a universal throughput or
latency advantage.

Prevent binaries that pass a happy-path test but fail on unregistered dynamic access, capture
build-host state in the image heap, require CPU features absent from production, exceed container
memory, or win a benchmark only because the JVM was measured before steady state.

## Decision framework

| Dominant constraint     | Native Image becomes attractive when                                                                | Prefer HotSpot or validate very carefully when                                              |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/graalvm-native-image@sha256:88e50e978bc758d0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.082d2f4, 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.
