Use when you need Jira CLI (jira) installation/authentication guidance and a maintainer-authored Jira issue inventory workflow. The agent does not ingest raw Jira issue or JQL output directly; it asks the Jira project maintainer/operator to author sanitized issue summaries before analysis or @014-agile-user-story…
Use when you need Azure DevOps CLI guidance to verify installation, configure organization and project context, discover work item IDs by optional WIQL filters, and execute safe work-item create/update operations. Uses an interactive install gate - if az or the Azure DevOps extension is missing, ask whether to show…
Use when a complex or risky code change should be split into Kent Beck's two-step method by first making the change easy through behavior-preserving preparatory refactoring, then making the intended behavior change once the design supports it. This should trigger for requests such as Apply two-step change; Make this…
Use when a large feature, story, plan, or spec idea needs to be split into small vertical slices with the Hamburger Method. This should trigger for requests such as Split this oversized story; Find the smallest useful slice; Break this feature into vertical slices; Apply the Hamburger Method; Turn this broad plan into…
Use when Java design, refactoring, or implementation tradeoffs should be evaluated with Kent Beck's simple design rules, including passes the tests, reveals intention, has no duplication, and has the fewest elements. This should trigger for requests such as Apply simple design rules; Review this design with Beck's…
Use when Java implementation work should be guided by Test-Driven Development, including maintaining a test list, choosing the next behavior, writing a failing test first, implementing only enough production code to pass, and refactoring while keeping tests green. This should trigger for requests such as Apply TDD…
Use when a database schema or data-meaning change needs Parallel Change, including expand, migrate, and contract sequencing for column renames, type or data reinterpretation, large-table backfills, relationship-table changes, enum/status transitions, timezone/default changes, and index or uniqueness changes. This…
Use when you need to review a plan, OpenSpec change, specification, or implementation proposal for breaking-change risk across commands, skills, generated outputs, XML sources, README/docs, tests, CI, APIs, schemas, configuration, data, migration, and release guidance. This should trigger for requests such as Review…
Use when designing, implementing, reviewing, testing, or cleaning up feature toggles, feature flags, kill switches, runtime configuration gates, canary controls, staged rollouts, experiments, or temporary compatibility switches in Java enterprise systems. This should trigger for requests such as Design a feature…
Use when a Java change needs independent Behavior-Driven Development guidance from trusted behavior facts through concrete examples and observable scenarios, with focused clarification when behavior is pending or ambiguous. This should trigger for requests such as Apply BDD; Facilitate behavior examples; Discover…
Use when reviewing whether an OpenSpec change's execution goal, acceptance criteria, and implementation or verification tasks are aligned. This should trigger for requests such as Review this OpenSpec change with ATDD; Check acceptance criteria against tasks; Find acceptance criteria without task coverage; Detect…
Spring Boot Core guidelines focus on proper usage of main annotations, bean management, and configuration best practices to build maintainable and efficient Spring Boot applications.
This comprehensive guide provides essential principles for designing robust, maintainable, and secure REST APIs using Spring Boot. These rules ensure your APIs follow industry best practices, maintain consistency, and provide excellent developer experience for API consumers.
Spring Data JDBC provides a simpler alternative to JPA, offering direct SQL control while maintaining Spring's repository abstractions. When combined with Java records, it creates clean, immutable data models perfect for modern Java applications.
HikariCP is the default connection pool for Spring Boot and is known for being the fastest, most reliable connection pool available for Java applications. This guide will help you configure HikariCP optimally for your Spring Boot applications.
Spring Boot slice testing allows you to test specific layers or "slices" of your application in isolation, providing faster and more focused tests than full integration tests. This approach helps maintain test clarity, reduces test execution time, and improves maintainability.
Best practices for local testing in Spring Boot applications using spring-boot-docker-compose for seamless integration with external services like databases, message queues, and caches.
Guidelines for building Spring Boot applications as GraalVM native images for improved startup time, reduced memory footprint, and enhanced performance characteristics.
This document provides a comprehensive set of guidelines for SQL development, covering aspects from naming conventions and table design to query optimization, security, and testing, aimed at promoting best practices in database management and application development.
Guides the creation of agile user stories and Gherkin feature files. Use when the user wants to create a user story, write acceptance criteria, define Gherkin scenarios, or author BDD feature files. Part of the skills-for-java project.
Use when creating a plan using Plan model and enhancing structured design plans in Cursor Plan mode for Java implementations. Use when the user wants to create a plan, design an implementation, structure a development plan, or use plan mode for outside-in TDD, feature implementation, or refactoring work. Part of the…
Use when you need to generate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for a Java project through an interactive, conversational process that systematically gathers context, stakeholders, options, and outcomes to produce well-structured ADR documents. Part of the skills-for-java project.
Facilitates conversational discovery to create Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) for functional requirements covering CLI, REST/HTTP APIs, or both. Use when the user wants to document command-line or HTTP service architecture, capture functional requirements, create ADRs for CLI or API projects, or design…
