spring-boot-engineer
Generates Spring Boot 3.x configurations, creates REST controllers, implements Spring Security 6 authentication flows, sets up Spring Data JPA repositories, and configures reactive WebFlux endpoints. Use when building Spring Boot 3.x applications, microservices, or reactive Java applications; invoke for Spring Data JPA, Spring Security 6, WebFlux, Spring Cloud integration, Java REST API design, or Microservices Java architecture.
npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill spring-boot-engineer --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Spring Boot Engineer ## Core Workflow 1. **Analyze requirements** — Identify service boundaries, APIs, data models, security needs 2. **Design architecture** — Plan microservices, data access, cloud integration, security; confirm design before coding 3. **Implement** — Create services with constructor injection and layered architecture (see Quick Start below) 4. **Secure** — Add Spring Security, OAuth2, method security, CORS configuration; verify security rules compile and pass tests. If compilation or tests fail: review error output, fix the failing rule or configuration, and re-run before proceeding 5. **Test** — Write unit, integration, and slice tests; run `./mvnw test` (or `./gradlew test`) and confirm all pass before proceeding. If tests fail: review the stack trace, isolate the failing assertion or component, fix the issue, and re-run the full suite 6. **Deploy** — Configure health checks and observability via Actuator; validate `/actuator/health` returns `UP`. If health is `DOWN`: check the `components` detail in the response, resolve the failing component (e.g., datasource, broker), and re-validate ## Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context: | Topic | Ref

What does the spring-boot-engineer skill do?
Generates Spring Boot 3.x configurations, creates REST controllers, implements Spring Security 6 authentication flows, sets up Spring Data JPA repositories, and configures reactive WebFlux endpoints.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill spring-boot-engineer --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Jeffallan/claude-skills, a repository with 10,871 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
