At a glance

A skill your agent uses when integrating LLMs, chat clients, embeddings, RAG pipelines, or AI agents into Spring Boot.

  • Integrating LLMs
  • SKILL.md covers Dependencies, ChatClient — Basic Usage, ChatClient Bean Configuration and Prompt Templates (externalized), plus 5 more sections
  • Runs Java scripts from its folder; needs ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY
  • AI agents into Spring Boot

What it does

Spring AI Integration is an agent skill from rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills. Use when integrating LLMs, chat clients, embeddings, RAG pipelines, or AI agents into Spring Boot. Covers Spring AI ChatClient, prompt templates, embeddings, vector stores, and structured output. Use when user mentions Spring AI, LLM, ChatGPT, Claude, RAG, embeddings.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Backend development, Embeddings and Structured output and tool calling. It works with Spring Boot and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Production-grade Claude Code and Codex skills for Spring Boot developers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Integrating LLMs
  • AI agents into Spring Boot
  • User mentions Spring AI

Example prompts

  • “/spring-ai-integration”

Requirements

  • A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f0c06a0. 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 (Java), 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
    • OPENAI_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Spring AI Integration loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

Watch the artifact names. 1.0 GA dropped the old spring-ai-<x>-spring-boot-starter coordinates. The pattern is now spring-ai-starter-model-<provider> (e.g. -model-anthropic, -model-openai) and spring-ai-starter-vector-store-<store>. Agents trained on pre-GA Spring AI will emit the dead names — they resolve to nothing in Maven Central.

ChatClient — Basic Usage

java
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class DocumentSummaryService {

    private final ChatClient chatClient;

    public String summarize(String conversationId, String content) {
        return chatClient.prompt()
            .advisors(a -> a.param(ChatMemory.CONVERSATION_ID, conversationId))
            .user(u -> u.text("Summarize the following document in 3 bullet points:\n\n{content}")
                .param("content", content))
            .call()
            .content();
    }

    // With system prompt
    public String analyzeFinancial(String conversationId, String document, String language) {
        return chatClient.prompt()
            .advisors(a -> a.param(ChatMemory.CONVERSATION_ID, conversationId))
            .system("You are a financial analyst. Respond in {language}.")
            .system(s -> s.param("language", language))
            .user(document)
            .call()
            .content();
    }
}

Every call using the configured memory advisor must provide a user- or session-scoped ChatMemory.CONVERSATION_ID. Never use one shared conversation ID for all users.

ChatClient Bean Configuration

java
@Configuration
public class AiConfig {

    @Bean
    public ChatMemory chatMemory() {
        // 1.0 GA: InMemoryChatMemory is GONE. Use MessageWindowChatMemory —
        // it caps history to a sliding window and defaults to an in-memory repository.
        return MessageWindowChatMemory.builder()
            .maxMessages(20)
            .build();
    }

    @Bean
    public ChatClient chatClient(ChatClient.Builder builder, ChatMemory chatMemory) {
        return builder
            .defaultSystem("You are a helpful assistant for an e-commerce platform.")
            .defaultAdvisors(
                MessageChatMemoryAdvisor.builder(chatMemory).build(), // GA: builder, not new(...)
                new SimpleLoggerAdvisor() // logs prompts/responses
            )
            .build();
    }
}

Prompt Templates (externalized)

java
// src/main/resources/prompts/analyze-order.st
// Analyze this order and identify any anomalies:
// Customer: {customer}
// Items: {items}
// Total: {total}
// Flag any unusual patterns.

@Service
public class OrderAnalysisService {

    @Value("classpath:prompts/analyze-order.st")
    private Resource promptTemplate;

    public String analyzeOrder(String conversationId, Order order) {
        return chatClient.prompt()
            .advisors(a -> a.param(ChatMemory.CONVERSATION_ID, conversationId))
            .user(u -> u.text(promptTemplate)
                .param("customer", order.getCustomerEmail())
                .param("items", order.getItems().toString())
                .param("total", order.getTotal()))
            .call()
            .content();
    }
}

Structured Output

java
// Define the target record
public record OrderClassification(
    String category,
    String priority,
    List<String> tags,
    boolean requiresManualReview
) {}

@Service
public class OrderClassifier {

    public OrderClassification classify(String orderDescription) {
        return chatClient.prompt()
            .user("Classify this order: " + orderDescription)
            .call()
            .entity(OrderClassification.class); // Spring AI handles JSON parsing
    }
}

RAG Pipeline

java
@Configuration
public class RagConfig {

    // No manual VectorStore bean — the spring-ai-starter-vector-store-pgvector
    // starter auto-configures one. Just inject it. (The old `new PgVectorStore(...)`
    // constructor is removed in GA; if you must build one, use PgVectorStore.builder(...).)

    @Bean
    public ChatClient ragChatClient(ChatClient.Builder builder, VectorStore vectorStore) {
        return builder
            .defaultAdvisors(
                QuestionAnswerAdvisor.builder(vectorStore)
                    .searchRequest(SearchRequest.builder().topK(5).build()) // GA: builder, not defaults().withTopK()
                    .build()
            )
            .build();
    }
}

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class KnowledgeService {

    private final VectorStore vectorStore;
    private final ChatClient ragChatClient;

    // Ingest documents
    public void ingest(List<String> documents) {
        List<Document> docs = documents.stream()
            .map(content -> new Document(content))
            .toList();
        vectorStore.add(docs);
    }

    // Query with RAG
    public String ask(String question) {
        return ragChatClient.prompt()
            .user(question)
            .call()
            .content();
    }
}

Streaming Responses

java
@GetMapping(value = "/stream", produces = MediaType.TEXT_EVENT_STREAM_VALUE)
public Flux<String> stream(@RequestParam String prompt) {
    return chatClient.prompt()
        .user(prompt)
        .stream()
        .content();
}

Gotchas

  • Agent uses pre-GA artifact names (spring-ai-anthropic-spring-boot-starter) — GA is spring-ai-starter-model-anthropic
  • Agent writes new MessageChatMemoryAdvisor(new InMemoryChatMemory()) — both removed in GA; use MessageChatMemoryAdvisor.builder(chatMemory) + MessageWindowChatMemory
  • Agent writes SearchRequest.defaults().withTopK(n) — GA is SearchRequest.builder().topK(n).build()
  • Agent hardcodes API keys — always use environment variables / ${...}
  • Agent hardcodes provider model IDs - configure them externally because model catalogs change
  • Agent builds prompts with string concatenation — use .param() template variables
  • Agent puts prompts inline in code — externalize to src/main/resources/prompts/
  • Agent ignores structured output — use .entity(MyClass.class) instead of parsing manually
  • Agent uses .entity(List.class) for a list — generics erase; pass new ParameterizedTypeReference<List<X>>() {}
  • Agent skips error handling for API calls — wrap in try/catch, handle NonTransientAiException (don't retry) vs TransientAiException (retry)
  • Agent forgets a per-user conversationId on the memory advisor — all users share one chat history
  • Agent uses wrong model string — verify model names against provider docs
