What this skill does


# Java Docker Skill

Containerize Java applications with optimized Dockerfiles and JVM settings.

## Overview

This skill covers Docker best practices for Java including multi-stage builds, JVM container settings, security hardening, and layer optimization.

## When to Use This Skill

Use when you need to:
- Create optimized Java Dockerfiles
- Configure JVM for containers
- Implement security best practices
- Reduce image size
- Set up health checks

## Topics Covered

### Dockerfile Optimization
- Multi-stage builds
- Layer caching strategy
- Spring Boot layered JARs
- Dependency caching

### JVM Container Settings
- UseContainerSupport
- MaxRAMPercentage
- GC selection
- Exit on OOM

### Security
- Non-root users
- Read-only filesystem
- Vulnerability scanning
- Secrets handling

## Quick Reference

```dockerfile
# Multi-stage optimized Dockerfile
FROM eclipse-temurin:21-jdk-alpine AS builder

WORKDIR /app

# Cache dependencies
COPY pom.xml .
COPY .mvn .mvn
RUN mvn dependency:go-offline -B

# Build and extract layers
COPY src ./src
RUN mvn package -DskipTests && \
    java -Djarmode=layertools -jar target/*.jar extract

# Runtime stage
FROM eclipse-temurin:21-jre-alpine

# Security: non-root user
RUN addgroup -S app && adduser -S app -G app
USER app

WORKDIR /app

# Copy layers in order of change frequency
COPY --from=builder /app/dependencies/ ./
COPY --from=builder /app/spring-boot-loader/ ./
COPY --from=builder /app/snapshot-dependencies/ ./
COPY --from=builder /app/application/ ./

# JVM container settings
ENV JAVA_OPTS="-XX:+UseContainerSupport \
    -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=75.0 \
    -XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError \
    -XX:+UseG1GC"

EXPOSE 8080

HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=30s \
    CMD wget -qO- http://localhost:8080/actuator/health/liveness || exit 1

ENTRYPOINT ["sh", "-c", "java $JAVA_OPTS org.springframework.boot.loader.launch.JarLauncher"]
```

## JVM Container Flags

```bash
# Recommended production settings
JAVA_OPTS="
  -XX:+UseContainerSupport
  -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=75.0
  -XX:InitialRAMPercentage=50.0
  -XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError
  -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
  -XX:HeapDumpPath=/tmp/heapdump.hprof
  -XX:+UseG1GC
  -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom
"
```

## Base Image Comparison

| Image | Size | Security | Use Case |
|-------|------|----------|----------|
| temurin:21-jre | ~200MB | Good | General use |
| temurin:21-jre-alpine | ~100MB | Good | Size-optimized |
| distroless/java21 | ~80MB | Best | Production |

## Security Best Practices

```dockerfile
# Non-root user
RUN addgroup -S app && adduser -S app -G app
USER app

# Read-only filesystem
# (Configure at runtime with --read-only)

# No shell access with distroless
FROM gcr.io/distroless/java21-debian12

# Health check
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s \
    CMD wget -qO- localhost:8080/actuator/health || exit 1
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---------|-------|----------|
| OOMKilled | Heap > limit | Set MaxRAMPercentage |
| Slow startup | Large image | Multi-stage build |
| Permission denied | Root required | Fix file permissions |
| No memory info | Old JVM | Update to Java 11+ |

### Debug Checklist
```
□ Check container memory limits
□ Verify JVM sees container limits
□ Review health check configuration
□ Scan image for vulnerabilities
□ Test with resource constraints
```

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

Backend & APIsscripts

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
