Use when writing <code>.java</code>,\n<code>.kt</code>, or <code>.kts</code> code; changing Gradle or Maven builds; or working on Spring, Micronaut,\nQuarkus, Ktor, Android JVM modules, JUnit, Mockito, Kotest, ktlint, detekt, or JVM\nCLI/services. Emphasizes JDK toolchains, null-safety, fast focused Gradle/Maven\nfeedback, deterministic formatting, and minimal dependencies. NOT for JavaScript/TypeScript,\nC#/.NET, Python, shell scripts, or infra-only work.\nname: writing-java-kotlin</h2>\n<h1>Java and Kotlin Development</h1>\n<h2>Build baseline</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Read the wrapper properties, <code>settings.gradle*</code>/<code>build.gradle*</code>/<code>gradle.properties</code> or <code>pom.xml</code>, and CI before relying on version-specific behavior.</li>\n<li>Use <code>./gradlew</code>/<code>./mvnw</code> when the repo has them; scope tests to the changed module (see testing.md).</li>\n<li>The compile target is the declared Java toolchain and Kotlin <code>jvmToolchain</code>, not the shell's <code>JAVA_HOME</code>; without one, the running JDK compiles.</li>\n<li>Toolchain, plugin, and dependency versions live in convention plugins, version catalogs, BOMs, or parent POMs, set once there. Raising the Java or Kotlin toolchain is a project-wide decision: ask, and change it in shared build config, not one module.</li>\n<li>A request to use a preview feature is not approval to enable it: ask first, name a non-preview fallback, and, once approved, add <code>--enable-preview</code> to the build's compile and run/test tasks, not a local flag. Previews can be withdrawn between JDKs: string templates were withdrawn in JDK 23.</li>\n<li>Wire coverage, mutation, or other heavy analysis as its own task or under <code>check</code>; never make <code>test</code> depend on or be finalized by the report, which would still run it on every plain <code>test</code>. Use a separate command or CI step, even when adding it is the task.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Defaults</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Kotlin: structured concurrency only — no <code>GlobalScope</code>; pass a <code>coroutineScope</code> or an injected scope through the call chain. Test coroutine code with <code>kotlinx-coroutines-test</code>'s <code>runTest</code>, not <code>runBlocking</code> or real delays. Keep blocking calls off event-loop and coroutine dispatcher threads unless the framework allows it.</li>\n<li>Kotlin: resolve nullable Java platform types at the boundary instead of asserting past them with <code>!!</code>.</li>\n<li>Java: say outright when virtual threads help (blocking I/O) versus don't (CPU-bound work); size CPU-bound work to a bounded pool near the processor count or a parallel stream. Never swallow <code>InterruptedException</code> — restore the flag or propagate it. No static state for config, clocks, clients, executors, or scopes.</li>\n<li>Don't leak JPA entities, ORM sessions, or generated API models through domain interfaces; map to a DTO while the transaction is open, loading what it needs (fetch join or entity graph) instead of keeping the session open via <code>spring.jpa.open-in-view</code>.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/testing.md\">testing.md</a>: read when adding or reshaping tests, or when Gradle/Maven test runs are slow.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/linting.md\">linting.md</a>: read when changing formatters, ktlint, detekt, Spotless, or static analysis.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Done when the relevant build/test/lint checks pass on what you changed, or you name each check that did not run and why.</p>\n","files":[{"path":".agentbundler/targets/claude.json","sizeBytes":234,"isText":true},{"path":"references/linting.md","sizeBytes":886,"isText":true},{"path":"references/testing.md","sizeBytes":674,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3181,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
