Ax Refinement Patterns For Java
This skill helps an agent write Java code with the generated Ax package dev.axllm:ax. Use the generated package API, examples, and manifests; do not import TypeScript-only APIs unless you are editing the TypeScript package.
When To Use
- Improve generated outputs with evaluator feedback or optimizer artifacts.
- Port TypeScript refinement intent into generated-language surfaces without assuming TypeScript-only helpers.
- Use generated optimizer APIs when the target package does not expose a standalone refine helper.
Package Facts
- Language: Java.
- Package:
dev.axllm:ax.
- Package API docs:
API.md and axir-api.json.
- Capability manifest:
axir-capabilities.json.
- Runnable examples:
examples/.
- Real network support: yes.
- Scripted no-key transport support: yes.
- Runtime profiles:
javascript-quickjs, python-pyodide.
Core Pattern
AxGEPA engine = new AxGEPA(reflectionClient, java.util.Map.of());
var result = engine.optimize(request, evaluator);
Relevant API Surface
- AxGen:
Ax.ax, AxGen
- Optimizers:
Ax.optimize, AxBootstrapFewShot, AxGEPA, OptimizerEngine, OptimizerEvaluator
Guardrails
- Start from package examples for exact native syntax before inventing a new call shape.
- Use
provider-api examples only when the user explicitly has provider credentials available.
- Use
no-key examples for deterministic local checks and provider request mapping.
- Treat AxIR as the source of generated package truth: if package docs disagree with source code, update the compiler and regenerate packages.
- Do not copy repo-maintainer skills from
tools/*/skills/ into user packages.
