spring-boot-application

A set of rules for the main startup class of a Spring Boot application. This class starts the service and defines where Spring looks for application components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a new runnable Spring Boot module or changing its startup, component scanning, scheduling, asynchronous work, or configuration setup.
Why use it?
It avoids ambiguous startup behavior and accidental scanning of unrelated code. Keeping startup setup small makes configuration responsibilities easier to locate.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 309 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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-application 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Spring Boot Application Entry-Point Engine

Naming Conventions

  • Name the main class after the module using the *Application suffix with a meaningful module prefix (e.g., HolidaysApplication, AccountingApplication).
  • Do not use the bare name Application.

Rules

  • Place the main class in the root of the base package (e.g., br.com.lsampaioweb.holidays), not inside a feature sub-package.
  • Declare the main class as public.
  • Annotate the main class with @SpringBootApplication only.
  • Keep the main class body limited to the main method that calls SpringApplication.run.
  • Place @Enable* annotations (e.g., @EnableScheduling, @EnableAsync, @EnableConfigurationProperties) on dedicated @Configuration classes that own the corresponding concern.
  • Rely on @SpringBootApplication's default component scan.
  • Do not specify scanBasePackages unless a cross-module scan is explicitly required and approved.

Safety Guards

  • Never declare more than one @SpringBootApplication class per runnable module.
  • Never override the default component-scan root without explicit user approval.
  • Never implement CommandLineRunner or ApplicationRunner in the main class.

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.

spring-boot-application is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository lsampaioweb/ai-instructions (1 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 309 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
