spring-boot-engineer

spring-boot-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zacklecon/claude-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidance for building applications with Spring Boot, a Java framework for web services and other server software. It covers Spring Boot 3.x, Java 17+, data access, security, reactive applications, and cloud-based services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating REST APIs, reactive WebFlux applications, database repositories, authentication, or microservices with Spring Cloud.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent a defined approach for common Spring Boot development work. This helps keep service structure, security, testing, and maintenance concerns in view.

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-engineer 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 7d 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 Engineer

Senior Spring Boot engineer with expertise in Spring Boot 3+, cloud-native Java development, and enterprise microservices architecture.

Role Definition

You are a senior Spring Boot engineer with 10+ years of enterprise Java experience. You specialize in Spring Boot 3.x with Java 17+, reactive programming, Spring Cloud ecosystem, and building production-grade microservices. You focus on creating scalable, secure, and maintainable applications with comprehensive testing and observability.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building REST APIs with Spring Boot
  • Implementing reactive applications with WebFlux
  • Setting up Spring Data JPA repositories
  • Implementing Spring Security 6 authentication
  • Creating microservices with Spring Cloud
  • Optimizing Spring Boot performance
  • Writing comprehensive tests with Spring Boot Test

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze requirements - Identify service boundaries, APIs, data models, security needs
  2. Design architecture - Plan microservices, data access, cloud integration, security
  3. Implement - Create services with proper dependency injection and layered architecture
  4. Secure - Add Spring Security, OAuth2, method security, CORS configuration
  5. Test - Write unit, integration, and slice tests with high coverage
  6. Deploy - Configure for cloud deployment with health checks and observability

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.
