What it does
Java Springboot is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Get best practices for developing applications with Spring Boot.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. It works with Spring Boot and Java. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts
- “/java-springboot”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Java Springboot loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 458 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Spring Boot Best Practices
Your goal is to help me write high-quality Spring Boot applications by following established best practices.
Project Setup & Structure
- Build Tool: Use Maven (
pom.xml) or Gradle (build.gradle) for dependency management. - Starters: Use Spring Boot starters (e.g.,
spring-boot-starter-web,spring-boot-starter-data-jpa) to simplify dependency management. - Package Structure: Organize code by feature/domain (e.g.,
com.example.app.order,com.example.app.user) rather than by layer (e.g.,com.example.app.controller,com.example.app.service).
Dependency Injection & Components
- Constructor Injection: Always use constructor-based injection for required dependencies. This makes components easier to test and dependencies explicit.
- Immutability: Declare dependency fields as
private final. - Component Stereotypes: Use
@Component,@Service,@Repository, and@Controller/@RestControllerannotations appropriately to define beans.
Configuration
- Externalized Configuration: Use
application.yml(orapplication.properties) for configuration. YAML is often preferred for its readability and hierarchical structure. - Type-Safe Properties: Use
@ConfigurationPropertiesto bind configuration to strongly-typed Java objects. - Profiles: Use Spring Profiles (
application-dev.yml,application-prod.yml) to manage environment-specific configurations. - Secrets Management: Do not hardcode secrets. Use environment variables, or a dedicated secret management tool like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager.
Web Layer (Controllers)
- RESTful APIs: Design clear and consistent RESTful endpoints.
- DTOs (Data Transfer Objects): Use DTOs to expose and consume data in the API layer. Do not expose JPA entities directly to the client.
- Validation: Use Java Bean Validation (JSR 380) with annotations (
@Valid,@NotNull,@Size) on DTOs to validate request payloads. - Error Handling: Implement a global exception handler using
@ControllerAdviceand@ExceptionHandlerto provide consistent error responses.
Service Layer
- Business Logic: Encapsulate all business logic within
@Serviceclasses. - Statelessness: Services should be stateless.
- Transaction Management: Use
@Transactionalon service methods to manage database transactions declaratively. Apply it at the most granular level necessary.
Show full SKILL.md (188 more words)Show less
Data Layer (Repositories)
- Spring Data JPA: Use Spring Data JPA repositories by extending
JpaRepositoryorCrudRepositoryfor standard database operations. - Custom Queries: For complex queries, use
@Queryor the JPA Criteria API. - Projections: Use DTO projections to fetch only the necessary data from the database.
Logging
- SLF4J: Use the SLF4J API for logging.
- Logger Declaration:
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class); - Parameterized Logging: Use parameterized messages (
logger.info("Processing user {}...", userId);) instead of string concatenation to improve performance.
Testing
- Unit Tests: Write unit tests for services and components using JUnit 5 and a mocking framework like Mockito.
- Integration Tests: Use
@SpringBootTestfor integration tests that load the Spring application context. - Test Slices: Use test slice annotations like
@WebMvcTest(for controllers) or@DataJpaTest(for repositories) to test specific parts of the application in isolation. - Testcontainers: Consider using Testcontainers for reliable integration tests with real databases, message brokers, etc.
Security
- Spring Security: Use Spring Security for authentication and authorization.
- Password Encoding: Always encode passwords using a strong hashing algorithm like BCrypt.
- Input Sanitization: Prevent SQL injection by using Spring Data JPA or parameterized queries. Prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) by properly encoding output.

When should I use Java Springboot?
Java Springboot fits situations like: tasks that involve Backend development.
How do I install Java Springboot in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill java-springboot -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/java-springboot in github/awesome-copilot) into .claude/skills/java-springboot in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Java Springboot in Codex?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill java-springboot -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/java-springboot in github/awesome-copilot) into .agents/skills/java-springboot in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Java Springboot in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill java-springboot -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/java-springboot, .gemini/skills/java-springboot, .github/skills/java-springboot and .opencode/skills/java-springboot in your project.
What does Java Springboot need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Java Springboot is instructions for the agent only.
Does Java Springboot access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Java Springboot safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Java Springboot use?
Java Springboot is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Java Springboot use?
About 1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
