111-java-maven-dependencies

Use when you need to add or evaluate Maven dependencies that improve code quality or domain modeling — including nullness annotations (JSpecify), static analysis (Error Prone + NullAway), functional programming (VAVR), architecture testing (ArchUnit), or money and currency support (JavaMoney) — and want a consultative, question-driven approach that adds only what you actually need. This should trigger for requests such as Add Maven dependencies; Add JSpecify nullness dependencies; Add Error Prone NullAway dependencies; Add VAVR functional dependencies; Add ArchUnit architecture testing dependencies; Add JavaMoney dependencies.

Quality

Content

85%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is well-structured: an actionable, validated workflow with a clear consultative question flow and clean one-level-deep reference navigation. The main weakness is redundancy across the three repeated dependency-family lists. Tightening the duplicated lists would improve token efficiency.

Suggestions

Collapse the near-duplicate "What is covered in this Skill?" and "When to use this skill" sections into one list, since both enumerate the same five dependency families.

The Question 1 options restate each family a third time; consider referencing the single consolidated list instead of re-describing each option in full.

The instruction "Run this XML-included question flow" and "XML-included" phrasing implies XML markup that is not present; align the wording with the actual markdown question format.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly lean and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but the five dependency families are restated three times ("What is covered", "When to use this skill", and the Question 1 options), which is redundant tightening that the "When to use" section in particular duplicates.

2 / 3

Actionability

Gives concrete commands ("./mvnw validate" or "mvn validate"), a precise conditional reference-to-selection mapping, and a specific question flow with defined options, providing copy-ready actionable guidance for an instruction-only skill.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced four-step workflow with an explicit validation checkpoint ("Run ./mvnw validate ... stop if validation fails") and an error-feedback loop ("do not proceed until resolved"), matching the clear-sequence-with-validation anchor.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body is an overview that points to four one-level-deep reference files via clearly signaled markdown links, all of which exist on disk, with content appropriately split out of the main file.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is strong: it states concrete capabilities, gives explicit "Use when" guidance and a trigger-request list, and occupies a distinct niche. It uses third-person voice throughout with no vague fluff. No changes needed.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names concrete actions ("add or evaluate Maven dependencies that improve code quality or domain modeling") and enumerates specific concrete families (JSpecify, Error Prone + NullAway, VAVR, ArchUnit, JavaMoney), matching the multiple-specific-actions anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (add/evaluate specific code-quality Maven dependency families) and when ("Use when you need to add or evaluate Maven dependencies ..." plus explicit trigger requests), satisfying the both-what-and-when anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural user phrasings via "This should trigger for requests such as Add Maven dependencies; Add JSpecify nullness dependencies; ... Add JavaMoney dependencies", covering the variations a user would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Scoped to a clear niche (Maven dependencies for code quality/domain modeling with named libraries) with distinct triggers, making unintended triggering of unrelated skills unlikely.

Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
