Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned jabrena/cursor-rules-java at 8ac07fb219.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides guidance and automated checks for Java projects using Maven, ensuring adherence to industry best practices. It can analyze project structure, dependencies, and build configurations to identify potential issues and suggest improvements. The goal is to improve code quality, maintainability, and overall project health by enforcing consistent coding standards.

When to use it

  • New Project Setup: To automatically configure a new Java/Maven project with recommended best practices from the start.
  • Code Review Automation: Integrate into CI/CD pipelines to flag deviations from established Maven conventions during code reviews.
  • Refactoring Existing Projects: Identify areas for improvement in older projects that may not have followed current best practices.
  • Onboarding New Developers: Help new team members quickly understand and adhere to the project's specific Maven coding standards.

Key capabilities

  • Maven configuration analysis
  • Dependency management checks
  • Project structure validation
  • Best practice enforcement for Java projects

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Maven project for potential issues."
  • "Check if my pom.xml file adheres to recommended best practices."
  • "Suggest improvements to the dependency management in this project."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes a working knowledge of Java and Maven. The effectiveness depends on having clearly defined Maven conventions or coding standards for the AI agent to follow.
