creating-springboot-projects

creating-springboot-projects is a skill for Claude Code from a-pavithraa/springboot-skills-marketplace. It costs 91 tokens per session (1,710 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for starting new Spring Boot 4 projects, such as services or REST APIs. It helps choose a suitable project structure and Java version before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and scaffold a new Spring Boot backend, choose between simple or modular structures, and decide which framework features fit the project.
Why use it?
It prevents a project from starting with more architectural complexity than its domain, team, or lifespan requires. It also helps select relevant Spring Boot features and templates.

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

creating-springboot-projects 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 11d 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.

Creating Spring Boot Projects

Purpose

Use this skill to create new Spring Boot 4 projects or define their structure before implementation. The skill adds value when the user needs an architecture decision, Spring Boot 4 feature selection, or the bundled templates in assets/.

Critical rules

  • Never jump straight to implementation before assessing project complexity.
  • Default to the simplest architecture that fits the domain.
  • Treat Spring Boot 4 as the target. Default new projects to Java 25 (current LTS). Boot 4's official baseline is Java 17 — accept Java 21 (previous LTS) or Java 17 when the user asks for them. Java 26 is the newest feature release (GA 2026-03-17) but is non-LTS; only pick it if the project tracks non-LTS Java.
  • Read the reference files before choosing a higher-complexity architecture or optional framework feature.
  • Reuse the templates in assets/ instead of rewriting the same scaffolding from scratch.

Workflow

Step 1: Assess project shape

Collect the project constraints first:

  1. Domain complexity: simple CRUD, moderate workflow, or rich domain rules.
  2. Team size: 1-3, 3-10, or 10+.
  3. Expected lifespan: months, 1-2 years, or 5+ years.
  4. Type-safety needs: basic validation or strong value-object-heavy modeling.
  5. Bounded contexts: single domain or multiple feature areas.
  6. Persistence and infrastructure needs: database choice, migration tool, local development setup.

Step 2: Choose the architecture

Use this matrix as the default decision aid. If the choice is not obvious, read references/architecture-guide.md before proceeding.

Pattern Use when Complexity
layered CRUD services, prototypes, MVPs Low
package-by-module 3-5 distinct features with moderate growth Low-Medium
modular-monolith Module boundaries matter and Spring Modulith is justified Medium
tomato Rich domain modeling, value objects, stronger type safety Medium-High
ddd-hexagonal Complex domains, CQRS, strong infrastructure isolation High
