Is this skill compatible with standard Java HTTP clients?

This skill specifically targets projects using the de.cuioss:cui-http library, providing an orchestration layer on top of standard HTTP capabilities.

What is the primary advantage of the HttpResult pattern?

The HttpResult pattern uses Java sealed interfaces to force exhaustive handling of success and failure states, ensuring that error conditions like network timeouts or server errors are never ignored.

Can I use this for asynchronous programming?

Yes, the patterns provided are async-first, returning CompletableFuture results through specialized HttpAdapters.

How does this skill handle HTTP retries?

It utilizes the ResilientHttpAdapter combined with a RetryConfig to implement exponential backoff and strategy-based retries for transient network failures.

API Development

Implements standardized, resilient HTTP client patterns using the CUI HTTP library for Java applications.

About

This skill provides specialized guidance for using the CUI HTTP library (cui-http) within Claude Code. It enforces the use of the HttpHandler builder pattern for configuration and the HttpResult sealed interface for type-safe, exhaustive error handling. By leveraging async-first adapters like ResilientHttpAdapter and ETagAwareHttpAdapter, this skill ensures that network communication is reliable, supports exponential backoff retries, and includes built-in caching mechanisms, making it ideal for building robust backend services and API integrations.
