problem-details-rfc9457

problem-details-rfc9457 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (794 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for formatting web API errors using RFC 9457, a standard structure for explaining what went wrong in an HTTP response, with Spring Boot 3's built-in ProblemDetail support.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building error handlers or exception mappers in Spring Boot applications. It covers enabling ProblemDetail and returning fields such as the error type, title, status, details, and request path.
Why use it?
It gives clients a consistent error format instead of requiring each endpoint or exception to return a different response shape.

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

problem-details-rfc9457 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 3d 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.

Problem Details - RFC 9457

Choose the error contract

Inspect existing advice, security entry points and API tests first. Keep one error policy per API. Success DTOs or success envelopes can coexist with Problem Details errors: RFC 9457 specifies errors, not success representations.

For an API using Problem Details, enable Spring's built-in MVC exception handling:

spring:
  mvc:
    problemdetails:
      enabled: true

For WebFlux use spring.webflux.problemdetails.enabled and reactive exception handling; the servlet templates below are not WebFlux handlers.

Domain errors

Use the compiled DomainException together with ProblemDetailExceptionHandler. The handler maps all subclasses using their declared status and stable error code:

Each public class has its own file. These are API-facing exceptions with HTTP status metadata; for a framework-free domain, keep domain exceptions independent and map them in the web adapter. Do not expose arbitrary persistence or infrastructure exception messages.

The advice extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler to preserve Spring's handling of framework exceptions. Validation returns 400 with field violations; unexpected failures return a generic 500 while retaining the full exception only in server logs. Keep nullable validation messages safe. Filter-level authentication failures need an AuthenticationEntryPoint; authorization failures need an AccessDeniedHandler. Controller advice does not cover the security filter chain.

Response fields

{
  "type": "https://api.example.com/errors/order_not_found",
  "title": "Not Found",
  "status": 404,
  "detail": "Order not found",
  "instance": "/api/orders/123",
  "errorCode": "ORDER_NOT_FOUND"
}
