Ax Java LLM

Ax LLM Quick Reference 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

• Start a generated-language Ax program from package docs or examples.
• Translate the Ax mental model into the target package without TypeScript-only imports.
• Choose the native package entrypoints for signatures, providers, generators, agents, flows, and optimizers.
• Find ordered or adaptive provider-balancing guidance in the language-specific AI skill.

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

import dev.axllm.ax.*;

var llm = Ax.ai("openai", java.util.Map.of("apiKey", System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")));

Relevant API Surface

• Signatures: Ax.s, Ax.f, AxSignature
• AxGen: Ax.ax, AxGen, Ax.runControl, AxRunControl
• AxAI: Ax.ai, AxCancellationToken, AxAIServiceAbortedError, Ax.getSupportedAIModels, OpenAICompatibleClient.CredentialRequest, OpenAICompatibleClient.CredentialProvider, AiClient.ownedWorkerFactory, AxChatSession, AxChatStream, OpenAICompatibleClient, OpenAIResponsesClient, GoogleGeminiClient, AnthropicClient, Map<String, Object>, AxUsageEvent, AxUsageObserver, AxGlobals.setUsageObserver, AxRuntimeHooks, AxRateLimitInfo, AxRateLimiter, AxTracer, AxMeter, AxGlobals, AxGlobals.setRateLimiter, AxGlobals.setTracer, AxGlobals.setMeter, AxBalancer, AxBalancerAdaptiveStrategy, AxBalancerStatsStore, AxInMemoryBalancerStatsStore, AxBalancerAdaptive.createRouteStats, AxBalancerAdaptive.updateRouteStats, AxBalancerAdaptive.sampleRouteHealth, MultiServiceRouter, ProviderRouter
• Agents And RLM: Ax.agent, AxAgent, AxAgent.addChildAgent
• Flow: Ax.flow, AxFlow, AxProgram.ownedWorkerFactory
• Optimizers: Ax.optimize, Ax.playbook, AxPlaybook, 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.
