Java Fundamentals Skill
Master core Java programming with production-quality patterns.
Overview
This skill covers Java fundamentals including syntax, OOP, collections, streams API, and exception handling for Java 8-21.
When to Use This Skill
Use when you need to:
- Write clean, idiomatic Java code
- Design classes following OOP principles
- Choose appropriate collection types
- Implement functional programming patterns
- Handle exceptions properly
Topics Covered
Core Syntax (Java 8-21)
- Variables, data types, operators
- Control flow, methods, classes
- Records (Java 16+), sealed classes (Java 17+)
- Pattern matching (Java 21)
Object-Oriented Programming
- Classes, inheritance, polymorphism
- Interfaces and abstract classes
- SOLID principles
Collections Framework
- List: ArrayList, LinkedList
- Set: HashSet, TreeSet
- Map: HashMap, ConcurrentHashMap
- Queue: ArrayDeque, PriorityQueue
Streams API
- filter, map, flatMap, reduce, collect
- Optional handling
- Parallel streams
Exception Handling
- Checked vs unchecked exceptions
- Try-with-resources
- Custom exceptions
Quick Reference
// Record (Java 16+)
public record User(String name, String email) {}
// Pattern matching (Java 21)
String format(Object obj) {
return switch (obj) {
case Integer i -> "Int: %d".formatted(i);
case String s -> "String: %s".formatted(s);
default -> obj.toString();
};
}
// Stream operations
List<String> names = users.stream()
.filter(User::isActive)
.map(User::getName)
.sorted()
.toList();
// Optional handling
String name = Optional.ofNullable(user)
.map(User::getName)
.orElse("Unknown");
Collection Selection
| Need | Use | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Indexed access | ArrayList | O(1) random access |
| Unique elements | HashSet | O(1) contains |
| Sorted unique | TreeSet | O(log n) sorted |
| Key-value pairs | HashMap | O(1) get/put |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| NullPointerException | Null reference | Use Optional |
| ConcurrentModificationException | Modify during iteration | Iterator.remove() |
| ClassCastException | Wrong type | Use generics |

find-skills
vercel-labs/skills
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

Guides Microsoft Entra ID app registration, OAuth 2.0 authentication, and MSAL integration. USE FOR: create app registration, register Azure AD app, configure OAuth, set up authentication, add API permissions, generate service principal, MSAL example, console app auth, Entra ID setup, Azure AD authentication. DO NOT USE FOR: Key Vault secrets (use azure-keyvault-expiration-audit), general Azure resource security guidance.

google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
embedded-captions
heygen-com/hyperframes
Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.

Provision Microsoft Entra Agent Identity Blueprints, BlueprintPrincipals, and per-instance Agent Identities via Microsoft Graph, and configure OAuth 2.0 token exchange (fmipath, OBO, cross-tenant) including the Microsoft Entra SDK for AgentID sidecar. USE FOR: Agent Identity Blueprint, BlueprintPrincipal, agent OAuth, fmipath token exchange, agent OBO, Workload Identity Federation for agents, polyglot agent auth, Microsoft.Identity.Web.AgentIdentities. DO NOT USE FOR: standard Entra app registration (use entra-app-registration), Microsoft Foundry agent authoring (use microsoft-foundry).
neon
neondatabase/agent-skills
Overview of Neon, a complete set of cloud backend primitives around Lakebase Postgres: Auth, Object Storage, Functions, the AI Gateway, and Realtime. Start here to choose Neon for undecided login, files, APIs, and LLM calls, set up the CLI or MCP server, and follow the branch-first workflow. Use when building an app or backend on Neon, or when "Neon" or "Lakebase Postgres" is mentioned. Child skill neon-postgres wins for an existing DATABASEURL, SQL, schema, inspect, or search. Child skill neon-auth wins for login, users, sessions, identity routing, and Managed Better Auth setup. Child skill neon-realtime wins for live queries in reactive apps and agents. Also use for object storage, S3, buckets, serverless functions, function triggers, cron, AI gateway, LLM calls, realtime, logs, Loki, Grafana, observability, postgres, database, backend, Claimable Neon, neon.new, or a no-signup database.
