Create a Checklist with all Java steps to use with system prompts for Java

Create a comprehensive step-by-step checklist document for Java system prompts by following the embedded section template and deriving rows from skills-generator/src/main/resources/skills.xml.

What is covered in this Skill?

• Inventory-driven checklist generation
• Output file creation as INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md
• Strict coverage of every effective skill id declared in skills.xml

Constraints

Follow the template sections exactly and use skills.xml as the single source of truth for skill rows.

• DO NOT create additional sections beyond what the template defines
• DO NOT add skill rows absent from skills.xml
• DO NOT omit any skill declared in skills.xml
• ONLY use the skillId attribute as the generated skill id when it exists
• ONLY use the single reference-list/reference value as the generated skill id when skillId is absent
• EDGE CASE: If the user goal is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before editing files or running project-wide commands
• EDGE CASE: If required context, files, credentials, or tools are missing, report the blocker explicitly and ask whether to proceed with setup or fallback guidance
• EDGE CASE: If requested changes conflict with project constraints or safety boundaries, explain the conflict and ask for user confirmation on the preferred trade-off

When to use this skill

• Create Java system prompts checklist
• Generate INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md
• Use @003-skills-inventory

Workflow

1. Read the template and inventory source

Read references/003-skills-inventory.md and skills-generator/src/main/resources/skills.xml before generating output.

Step constraints:

• Do not use cached or remembered template content
• Preserve exact section structure from the reference
• Use skillId when present; otherwise use the single reference name

2. Generate inventory document

Create INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md at the requested output path, or in the project root when no explicit path is requested, with one row for every effective skill id declared in skills.xml.

3. Validate inventory coverage

Verify that the generated file contains every effective skill id from skills.xml, contains no extra skill rows, and preserves all expected sections from the reference.
