spring-cloud-gateway

spring-cloud-gateway is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (417 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for configuring Spring Cloud Gateway, a service that receives requests at the edge of an application and routes them to other services. It covers routes, authentication, headers, limits, retries, timeouts, monitoring, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define gateway routes, remove untrusted headers, authenticate requests, apply rate limits and timeouts, add circuit breakers, and test gateway filters.
Why use it?
It helps keep routing and edge security predictable while avoiding unsafe headers, unsuitable retries, and hidden downstream failures.

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-cloud-gateway 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.

What it actually says

Spring Cloud Gateway

Keep the gateway an edge adapter. Do not move domain workflows into filters.

Compatibility first

  • Select the Spring Cloud release train compatible with the exact Boot 3 minor.
  • Import the Spring Cloud BOM and omit individual Spring Cloud dependency versions.
  • Prefer the reactive gateway unless the project deliberately uses the MVC variant.

Route rules

  • Use stable route IDs and explicit predicates.
  • Strip untrusted forwarding, identity, and internal headers at the edge.
  • Add correlation headers only after removing client-supplied values.
  • Keep path rewriting and host changes visible in route configuration.
  • Set connect and response timeouts globally, with narrow route overrides.

Security and resilience

  • Authenticate at the edge and authorize again in downstream services.
  • Relay tokens only to intended audiences.
  • Rate-limit by trusted identity or API key, not an unverified header.
  • Retry only idempotent operations and only before response commitment.
  • Use circuit breakers for failing dependencies; never hide sustained failure with unlimited retries.

Testing and operations

  • Test predicates, filters, header removal, status mapping, and timeouts.
  • Use WireMock or a containerized upstream for integration tests.
  • Emit route ID, outcome, latency, and upstream metrics with bounded tags.

Examples

  • See examples/good-routes.yml and examples/bad-routes.yml.

Gotchas

  • Agent trusts X-User-Id from the public request - derive identity after authentication.
  • Agent retries POST requests by default - retry only operations proven idempotent.
  • Agent adds business orchestration to a gateway filter - keep domain logic downstream.
  • Agent omits response timeouts - stalled upstreams can exhaust gateway resources.
  • Agent mixes incompatible Spring Cloud and Boot versions - use the official compatibility matrix.
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
