SKILL.md

name: spring-boot description: > review, design, scaffold, refactor, and troubleshoot spring boot applications. use when the user asks for spring boot architecture, starters, controllers, services, configuration, data access, testing, actuator, or deployment guidance.

Spring Boot

Use this skill to keep Spring Boot work grounded in maintainable architecture, predictable delivery, and framework-appropriate conventions.

Intent Router

Need	Load
core conventions, structure, review priorities, and common red flags for Spring Boot	`references/best-practices.md`
setup, migration, testing, build, delivery, and day-two workflow guidance for Spring Boot	`references/workflows.md`

Quick Start

Confirm Spring Boot and Java version, API, MVC, messaging, or hybrid app style, data-access posture, and deployment and operational model.
Identify whether the task is greenfield scaffolding, incremental refactoring, troubleshooting, migration planning, or code review.
Apply the defaults in references/best-practices.md before proposing custom architecture.
Prefer the smallest change set that improves clarity, safety, operability, and long-term maintainability.

Workflow

start from configuration and bean wiring clarity
keep controllers and listeners thin
make transactions, retries, and integration boundaries explicit
verify build, tests, and deployment packaging after changes

Typical Focus Areas

Spring Boot and Java version
API, MVC, messaging, or hybrid app style
data-access posture
deployment and operational model

Outputs to Prefer

summarize runtime style, data posture, and config model first
group findings by config, layering, transactions, actuator, and tests
protect profile and endpoint behavior during refactors

First Response Pattern

restate the Spring Boot and Java version, app style, data posture, and operational model before suggesting changes
anchor the plan at configuration, bean wiring, controller or service boundaries, and profile behavior
name the verification loop up front: test suite, one local startup path, and one real request or message flow through the changed behavior

Common Requests

Review this Spring Boot service for layering, configuration, validation, and operational readiness.

Help refactor a Spring Boot app toward clearer controller, service, and persistence boundaries.

Safety Notes

preserve externally visible behavior unless the user explicitly requests a redesign or a breaking change
avoid style-only churn when the current repository already has working conventions and automation
