Use when you need to apply functional programming principles in Java — including writing immutable objects and Records, pure functions, functional interfaces, lambda expressions, Stream API pipelines, Optional for null safety, function composition, higher-order functions, pattern matching for instanceof and switch, sealed classes/interfaces for controlled hierarchies, Stream Gatherers for custom operations, currying/partial application, effect boundary separation, and concurrent-safe functional patterns. This should trigger for requests such as Improve the code with Functional Programming; Apply Functional Programming; Refactor the code with Functional Programming; Refactor Java code to use streams or Optionals safely; Improve immutability and pure functions in Java.
