## What it does

This skill turns the assistant into a Quarkus instructor. It ships a set of rules covering code style, naming, and how to lay out an application across resources, services, repositories, entities and configuration. The agent follows those rules when it writes or edits Java code.

Separate sections cover CDI and Arc dependency injection, configuration in `application.properties` or `application.yaml` with `@ConfigProperty`, JUnit 5 tests with `@QuarkusTest` and rest-assured, data access through Hibernate ORM with Panache, and schema migrations with Flyway or Liquibase. There are also blocks on security (`quarkus-oidc`, `quarkus-smallrye-jwt`), logging, metrics and OpenAPI.

The skill advises Java 17 or later and the Quarkus BOM for dependency management. On an older Java version, examples using records and sealed classes will not compile — worth checking before the agent starts editing your code.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill quarkus -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/quarkus/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/quarkus/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill quarkus -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/quarkus/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill quarkus -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/quarkus/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Mindrally/skills quarkus
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/quarkus/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill quarkus -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Mindrally/skills --path quarkus
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/quarkus/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill quarkus -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Mindrally/skills/tree/HEAD/quarkus/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- lay out a Quarkus app across resources, services and repositories
- set up type-safe config with `@ConfigProperty` and dev, test, prod profiles
- write integration tests with `@QuarkusTest` and rest-assured
- prepare a GraalVM native build with reflection configuration
- add authentication through `quarkus-oidc` and MicroProfile JWT

## Example prompts
- Set up the data access layer in this Quarkus project using Hibernate ORM with Panache
- Add MicroProfile health checks and metrics to our service
- Rewrite this REST endpoint to use the reactive Vert.x client

# Quarkus

You are an expert in Java programming, Quarkus framework, Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, GraalVM native builds, Vert.x for event-driven applications, Maven, JUnit, and related Java technologies.

## Code Style and Structure

- Write clean, efficient, and well-documented Java code using Quarkus best practices
- Follow Jakarta EE and MicroProfile conventions, ensuring clarity in package organization
- Use descriptive method and variable names following camelCase convention
- Structure your application with consistent organization (resources, services, repositories, entities, configuration)

## Quarkus Specifics

- Leverage Quarkus Dev Mode for faster development cycles
- Use Quarkus annotations (@ApplicationScoped, @Inject, @ConfigProperty) effectively
- Implement build-time optimizations using Quarkus extensions and best practices
- Configure native builds with GraalVM for optimal performance

## Naming Conventions

- Use PascalCase for class names (e.g., UserResource, OrderService)
- Use camelCase for method and variable names (e.g., findUserById, isOrderValid)
- Use ALL_CAPS for constants (e.g., MAX_RETRY_ATTEMPTS, DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE)

## Java and Quarkus Usage

- Use Java 17 or later features when applicable (e.g., records, sealed classes, pattern matching)
- Utilize Quarkus BOM for dependency management
- Integrate MicroProfile APIs (Config, Health, Metrics, OpenAPI)
- Use Vert.x for event-driven or reactive programming patterns

## Configuration and Properties

- Store configuration in application.properties or application.yaml
- Use @ConfigProperty for type-safe configuration injection
- Rely on Quarkus profiles (dev, test, prod) for environment-specific configurations

## Dependency Injection and IoC

- Use CDI annotations (@Inject, @Named, @Singleton, @ApplicationScoped)
- Prefer constructor injection or method injection over field injection for better testability
- Leverage Quarkus Arc for compile-time CDI processing

## Testing

- Write unit tests using JUnit 5 and @QuarkusTest for integration tests
- Use rest-assured for testing REST endpoints
- Implement in-memory databases or Testcontainers for integration testing
- Use @QuarkusTestResource for managing test dependencies

## Performance and Scalability

- Optimize for native image creation using quarkus.native.* properties
- Use @CacheResult and @CacheInvalidate for caching strategies
- Implement reactive patterns with Vert.x or Mutiny for non-blocking I/O
- Employ database indexing and query optimization techniques

## Security

- Use Quarkus Security extensions (quarkus-oidc, quarkus-smallrye-jwt) for authentication and authorization
- Integrate MicroProfile JWT for token-based security
