What it does

Restart Spring Boot is an agent skill from jvm-skills/jvm-skills. Restart the app via IntelliJ run configuration and wait until ready. Use after Kotlin code changes before browser verification. NOT needed for HTML template changes (LiveReload handles those automatically).

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `INSTALL.md` and `templates/restart-app.sh`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development and Android development. It works with Spring Boot, JetBrains IDEs, Kotlin and Bash. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backend development
  • Tasks that involve Android development

Example prompts

  • “/restart-spring-boot”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Stop the old app and wait for port release (Bash tool)
  2. Start the app via JetBrains MCP (this will timeout — that's expected)
  3. Wait for readiness (Bash tool, timeout 60000)
  4. Check for new errors (Bash tool — only if a log-check hook exists)
  5. Report result: "App restarted and ready" or "App failed to start — check build/app.log".

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c6d477f. 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

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    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

Restart Spring Boot loads about 494 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~494

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.

Restart App Skill

Restart the Spring Boot app via IntelliJ and wait for readiness.

When to use: Only after .kt file changes. HTML template changes are auto-reloaded by Spring DevTools LiveReload — just refresh the browser.

Instructions

  1. Stop the old app and wait for port release (Bash tool):

    bash
    ./scripts/restart-app.sh stop

    This kills the process on the app port and waits for it to release. Check references/project.md for the project's port number.

  2. Start the app via JetBrains MCP (this will timeout — that's expected):

    mcp__jetbrains__execute_run_configuration(
  configurationName: "<run-config-name>",
  timeout: 5000
)

    Check references/project.md for the exact run configuration name.

  3. Wait for readiness (Bash tool, timeout 60000):

    bash
    ./scripts/restart-app.sh wait && touch .claude/.last-restart

  4. Check for new errors (Bash tool — only if a log-check hook exists):

    bash
    ./.claude/hooks/post-bash-log-check.sh < /dev/null

    If the project has a post-restart log-check hook (path in references/project.md), run it to scan build/app.log for new ERROR entries since the last check. If errors are found, investigate and fix them before proceeding. If no hook exists, skip this step.

  5. Report result: "App restarted and ready" or "App failed to start — check build/app.log".

Project Customization

Read references/project.md in this skill's directory if it exists. It provides project-specific context:

  • App port
  • IntelliJ run configuration name
  • Post-restart log-check hook path (if any)
  • Any other project-specific patterns
