What it does

314 Frameworks Spring Kafka is an agent skill from jabrena/plinth. Use when you need to design or implement Kafka messaging in Spring Boot — including topic design, producer/consumer implementation, JSON serialization with Boot factory customizers, Testcontainers @ServiceConnection integration tests, retries and dead-letter topics, idempotency, and error handling. This should trigger for requests such as Add Kafka in Spring Boot; Review Spring Kafka consumers; Improve retries and DLT in Spring Kafka; Configure Spring Kafka topics serializers or listener containers; Add Spring…

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/314-frameworks-spring-kafka.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Event-driven systems, Integration testing and Backend development. It works with Apache Kafka and Spring Boot. The repository describes itself as: Plinth is an AI-native engineering toolkit for modern Java enterprise SDLC, built around reusable Commands, Agents, Skills, and MCP Servers. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to design
  • Implement Kafka messaging in Spring Boot — including topic design
  • Producer/consumer implementation
  • JSON serialization with Boot factory customizers

Example prompts

  • “/314-frameworks-spring-kafka”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dca88dc. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • mvn

    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

314 Frameworks Spring Kafka loads about 561 tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 179 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~151
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~561
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.8k

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 — Kafka messaging

Apply Spring Kafka guidance with concrete examples for design, implementation, and error handling.

Constraints

Compile before messaging refactors; verify after changes.

  • MANDATORY: Run ./mvnw compile or mvn compile before applying any change
  • SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately
  • VERIFY: Run ./mvnw clean verify or mvn clean verify after applying improvements
  • BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed rules and examples

When to use this skill

  • Add Kafka in Spring Boot
  • Review Spring Kafka consumers/producers
  • Improve retries, dead-letter topics, or idempotency in Spring Kafka
  • Configure Spring Kafka topics serializers or listener containers
  • Add Spring Kafka dead-letter topic handling

Workflow

  1. Read reference and assess project context

Read references/314-frameworks-spring-kafka.md and inspect current messaging setup before proposing changes.

  1. Gather scope and decide target improvements

Identify reliability and throughput goals and define the minimum safe set of changes.

  1. Apply framework-aligned changes

Implement/refactor Spring Kafka configuration, producer/consumer logic, and failure handling.

  1. Run verification and report results

Execute build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and follow-up actions.

Reference
