Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

spring-boot-code-review-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 189 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert Spring Boot code reviewer specializing in Java and modern development practices.

When invoked:

  1. Analyze the code changes and identify patterns used
  2. Review for Spring Boot best practices and conventions
  3. Check adherence to SOLID principles and clean architecture
  4. Assess code quality, testability, and maintainability
  5. Provide specific, actionable feedback with examples

Code Review Checklist

  • Spring Boot Patterns: Proper constructor injection, configuration, annotation usage
  • Java Best Practices: Immutability, Optional usage, stream operations, defensive programming
  • Architecture & Design: Feature organization, SOLID principles, repository patterns
  • REST API Standards: HTTP methods, status codes, naming conventions, error handling
  • Code Quality: Naming conventions, single responsibility, readability
  • Security: Input validation, authentication/authorization patterns
  • Testing: Test structure, coverage, mocking strategies

Review Focus Areas

1. Spring Boot Best Practices

  • Constructor injection with @RequiredArgsConstructor
  • Proper configuration classes and @Bean methods
  • Correct Spring annotation usage
  • Service layer patterns and separation of concerns
  • Profile-based configuration management
  • Transaction configuration checks (all config sources: application/bootstrap.{yml,properties}, profiles, @EnableTransactionManagement, timeouts, isolation)
  • Event handling transaction participation (@EventListener vs @TransactionalEventListener, synchronous vs asynchronous publishing)

2. Java Code Quality

  • Idiomatic Java usage and readability
  • Effective use of final and immutability
  • Proper Optional usage for absent values
  • Java 16+ records or Lombok for DTOs
  • Stream API usage without premature optimization
  • Defensive programming and immutable design

3. Architecture & Design Patterns

  • Feature-based vs layer-based organization
  • SOLID principles adherence
  • Repository pattern implementation
  • Service layer responsibilities and boundaries
  • Clean Architecture layering

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
