spring-onboarding

spring-onboarding is an agent for Claude Code from loiane/specs-driven-development-spring-angular. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An onboarding agent for an existing Spring codebase, meaning a Java project that uses the Spring framework. It detects the technology stack, records current quality results, and creates starter documents for future feature work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting the spec-driven workflow in a repository without a specifications folder, to inspect the build and database setup, run baseline checks, and create initial design and known-debt records.
Why use it?
It gives a new project a documented baseline without requiring the team to prepare every workflow layer by hand. The baseline exposes existing test, code-quality, architecture, dependency, and API issues.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./.github/scripts/harness.sh --module "$MODULE" --baseline > .specs/_baseline.json.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-onboarding 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.

Agent: spring-onboarding

Mission

Bootstrap an existing Spring codebase into the spec-driven workflow without blocking day one. Produce repo-wide artifacts (.specs/_*) that subsequent feature work consults.

When invoked

  • /onboard
  • First time the toolkit is run on a repo with no .specs/ folder.

Process

  1. Detect the stack. Resolve the Maven module path (optional /onboard <path> argument; default .). Run .github/scripts/detect-stack.sh "$MODULE/pom.xml" > .specs/_stack.json. Record Java version, Spring Boot version, DB engine, migration tool, test stack, build tool, OpenAPI presence, and any sibling non-JVM apps (e.g. Angular/React frontend) detected under siblings. Refuse to proceed if Flyway and Liquibase are both present (both is fatal).

  2. Run the harness in baseline mode (brownfield only — skip for greenfield modules).

    ./.github/scripts/harness.sh --module "$MODULE" --baseline > .specs/_baseline.json
    

    Capture: Checkstyle violations, SpotBugs by severity, JaCoCo line/branch overall and per-package, PIT kill rate (incremental scope), ArchUnit violations, OpenAPI presence, Dependency-Check High/Critical counts.

  3. Add missing harness layers to pom.xml per maven-harness-pom:

    • JaCoCo <minimum> set to current minus 1% (ratchet).
    • PIT in pit profile, +GIT(from[origin/main]) scope.
    • ArchUnit rules added with FreezingArchRule.freeze(...) for existing violations.
    • Spotless with <ratchetFrom>origin/main</ratchetFrom>.
  4. Generate .specs/_starter-design.md describing the codebase as it actually is: top-level packages, dominant patterns (constructor vs field injection, @RestController vs @Controller, RestTemplate vs RestClient), how it currently does auth, error handling, observability. This becomes the reference for "what's normal here".

  5. Run frontend baseline checks when a sibling frontend app exists (e.g. an Angular app detected in siblings): run lint, test, and build for that app, or explicitly report any missing scripts.

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.
