springboot-migration

springboot-migration is a skill for Claude Code from a-pavithraa/springboot-skills-marketplace. It costs 77 tokens per session (993 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for upgrading an existing Spring Boot application to version 4, including related library and test changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan dependency changes, starter renames, test annotation updates, Jackson 3 issues, and related Spring Modulith or Testcontainers upgrades.
Why use it?
It reduces upgrade risk by scanning the project first, splitting the work into phases, and checking for failures after each phase.

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-migration 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/scan_migration_issues.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Spring Boot Migration

Purpose

Use this skill for phased upgrade work on existing Spring Boot applications. This skill adds value through the migration scanner, the Boot 4 / Modulith 2 / Testcontainers 2 reference guides, and a strict migration order that avoids mixing too many changes at once.

Critical rules

  • Never migrate blindly. Scan the codebase first.
  • Never apply every migration at once. Follow phased upgrades.
  • Treat Spring Boot 4, Spring Modulith 2, and Testcontainers 2 as the intended target stack for this skill unless the user asks for a narrower target. Boot 4's Java baseline is 17; recommend Java 25 for new compile targets but do not force an upgrade past what the migration actually requires.
  • Verify after each phase and stop when failures appear.

Workflow

Step 1: Scan the project

Use the migration scanner before planning or editing. It reads pom.xml, build.gradle, or build.gradle.kts (whichever the project has) plus Java sources, properties files, and Flyway migrations:

python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scan_migration_issues.py" /path/to/project

Use the scan output to identify:

  • current Spring Boot version
  • starter rename work
  • annotation and import migrations
  • configuration changes
  • Spring Modulith compatibility
  • Testcontainers compatibility

Step 2: Identify which migrations apply

Load only the references that match the codebase:

Migration Trigger Read
Spring Boot 4.0 Boot 3.x to 4.x upgrade references/spring-boot-4-migration.md
Spring Modulith 2.0 Existing Modulith 1.x usage references/spring-modulith-2-migration.md
Testcontainers 2.x Existing Testcontainers 1.x usage references/testcontainers-2-migration.md
Cross-cutting scenarios and pitfalls Mixed upgrade planning references/migration-overview.md

Step 3: Plan the migration in phases

Use the reference guides to plan and execute in this order.

Changes

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.
