111 Java Maven Dependencies

This is a consultative workflow for adding quality-focused Maven dependencies to Java projects. It walks you through JSpecify nullness annotations, Error Prone with NullAway for static analysis, VAVR for functional programming, and ArchUnit for architecture testing. The approach is deliberately interactive: it validates your project first, then asks questions one at a time so you only add what you actually need. The question-driven flow is a nice touch because it prevents dependency bloat and makes you think about trade-offs before committing. Useful when you're hardening a codebase and want guardrails without cargo-culting every trendy library into your POM.

Add Maven dependencies for improved code quality

Add essential Maven dependencies that enhance code quality, safety, and domain modeling through a consultative, question-driven approach. This is an interactive SKILL.

What is covered in this Skill?

JSpecify: (nullness annotations, provided scope)
Error Prone + NullAway: (enhanced static analysis with compile-time null checking)
VAVR: (functional programming with Try/Either and immutable collections)
ArchUnit: (architecture rule enforcement, test scope)
JavaMoney: (Money and Currency API support with JSR 354 and Moneta)

Constraints

Before adding Maven dependencies, ensure the project is in a valid state. Use a consultative, question-driven flow that adds only what the user selects.
