spring-boot-failure-analyzer

spring-boot-failure-analyzer is a skill for Codex from Jiangxianze/spring-agent-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (626 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for diagnosing Spring Boot applications that fail while starting. Spring Boot is a Java framework that assembles application components and configuration before the server begins accepting requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for missing beans, configuration errors, dependency cycles, failed automatic setup, profile or property problems, classpath issues, test mismatches, external-resource failures, and port conflicts.
Why use it?
It helps separate the first real cause from later error messages and avoids hiding the problem with broad configuration changes.

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-failure-analyzer 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 10d 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.

Spring Boot Failure Analyzer

Find the first actionable cause of a Spring Boot startup failure, propose the smallest safe change, and define a command that proves the fix.

Workflow

  1. Preserve the complete exception chain and the first APPLICATION FAILED TO START block. Treat the final exception as a symptom until the earliest application-owned cause is identified.
  2. Identify the build tool, Java version, Spring Boot version, active profiles, launch command, and whether the failure reproduces in a test.
  3. Classify the failure as configuration binding, bean construction, dependency cycle, conditional auto-configuration, classpath linkage, external resource, web-server binding, or test-slice mismatch.
  4. Inspect only the files that can participate in that category. Prefer source, configuration, and build metadata over guesses based on exception names.
  5. Gather one decisive piece of evidence. Use a focused test, --debug condition report, property binding trace, dependency tree, or port/process check as appropriate.
  6. Propose one minimal fix. Preserve the application's intended boundaries; do not mask the failure with broad exclusions, optional injection, lazy initialization, or a disabled validation rule unless that behavior is explicitly intended.
  7. Re-run the narrowest failing command, then one broader build check. Report both results.

Evidence rules

  • Separate observations from hypotheses.
  • Quote the property path, bean name, condition, missing class, or occupied port that proves the diagnosis.
  • Prefer the deepest application-owned Caused by entry over framework wrapper exceptions.
  • Check whether environment variables override YAML or properties before editing a configuration file.
  • For NoSuchMethodError, ClassNotFoundException, and NoClassDefFoundError, inspect the resolved dependency graph and BOM alignment before changing application code.
  • For missing beans, inspect component scanning, configuration conditions, qualifiers, generics, and test slices before adding a new bean.
  • For cycles, identify the architectural dependency loop. Do not recommend spring.main.allow-circular-references=true as the primary fix.

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.
