Does this skill support the latest Java versions?

Yes, the Java Reviewer skill is specifically optimized for Java 17 and Java 21, including support for records, sealed classes, and switch expressions.

How does it detect my Java project?

It automatically identifies Java projects by searching for pom.xml (Maven) or build.gradle (Gradle) files and the standard src/main/java directory structure.

Can it detect resource leaks in my code?

Absolutely. The skill flags manual resource management and identifies missing try-with-resources blocks to prevent memory and file handle leaks.

Does it provide security-related feedback?

While it focuses on idiomatic patterns and reliability, it identifies critical security-adjacent issues like catching Throwable or using mutable static fields in multi-threaded environments.

Is it compatible with Spring Boot?

Yes, it handles standard Java patterns within Spring projects, though it is often used in conjunction with the spring-boot-reviewer skill for framework-specific logic.
