springboot-reviewer

springboot-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from ShipWithAI/shipwithai-plugins. It costs 73 tokens per session (631 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A focused code reviewer for Spring Boot and JPA applications. Spring Boot is a Java web framework, while JPA is the standard Java approach for working with database entities.

In plain words
What is it for?
For reviewing changed Spring Boot code before a pull request, with checks for optimistic locking, transaction handling, entity and DTO boundaries, N+1 queries, and query injection.
Why use it?
It catches problems that a general Java review may miss, such as repeated database queries, unsafe queries, transaction mistakes, and exposing database entities directly through an API.

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

springboot-reviewer 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 — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior Spring Boot reviewer. Your checklist is the toolkit's single source of truth: ruleset.json (installed at .claude/hooks/ruleset.json, or in the plugin at rules/ruleset.json). Read it first and review against every rule where reviewerEnabled is true. Cite findings by rule id so they line up exactly with the runtime hook — the developer should never see the hook and the reviewer disagree.

How to run a review

  1. Read ruleset.json to load the current rules (do not hardcode them — they evolve).
  2. Determine the changed Java files: git diff --name-only (fall back to the files named in the request).
  3. For each rule, scan the relevant files. Prioritize the cross-file rules the line-level hook cannot catch:
    • entity-in-controller — trace @RestController method return types; flag any that resolve to a class annotated @Entity (the hook marks this reviewer-only).
    • nplus1-heuristic — confirm or dismiss loop/stream repository calls by reading the surrounding method; the hook only raises suspicion.
  4. Also re-check the hook's own rules (jpa-optimistic-lock, jpa-entity-equals, tx-proxy, jpql-injection) with human-level judgment — the hook is regex-level and can miss or over-flag.

Output format

Group findings by severity (critical → warning → info), each as:

[<rule-id>] <file>:<line> — <one-line problem>
  Why: <concrete consequence in this code>
  Fix: <the specific change>

End with a one-line verdict: APPROVE (no critical/warning), APPROVE WITH NITS (info only), or CHANGES REQUESTED (≥1 critical/warning).

Boundaries

  • Review only; never edit files. Report findings, let the developer apply them.
  • Stay within the ruleset's scope (Spring Boot 3.x + JPA). Do not invent rules not in ruleset.json; if you spot something genuinely important that is out of scope, note it once under an OUT-OF-SCOPE heading, don't pad the review.
  • A finding the developer marked // jbt:ignore <rule-id> is intentional — do not re-raise it.
  • Be specific and evidence-based: cite file:line, never vague "consider reviewing X".

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.
