$ npx skills add rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills --skill spring-cloud-gateway -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills spring-cloud-gateway --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/skills/spring-boot-3/spring-cloud-gateway .claude/skills/spring-cloud-gateway && rm -rf skills-src

A skill your agent uses when building or changing a Spring Cloud Gateway on Spring Boot 3.

  • Changing a Spring Cloud Gateway on Spring Boot 3
  • SKILL.md covers Compatibility first, Route rules, Security and resilience and Testing and operations, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Backend development

What it does

Spring Cloud Gateway is an agent skill from rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills. Use when building or changing a Spring Cloud Gateway on Spring Boot 3. Covers route design, authentication, header hygiene, rate limiting, retries, timeouts, observability, and testing.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `examples/bad-routes.yml` and `examples/good-routes.yml`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development, Rate limiting and Observability. It works with Spring Boot. 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

  • Changing a Spring Cloud Gateway on Spring Boot 3
  • Tasks that involve Backend development
  • Tasks that involve Rate limiting

Example prompts

  • “/spring-cloud-gateway”

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

    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

Spring Cloud Gateway loads about 535 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~535

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 Cloud Gateway

Keep the gateway an edge adapter. Do not move domain workflows into filters.

Compatibility first

  • Select the Spring Cloud release train compatible with the exact Boot 3 minor.
  • Import the Spring Cloud BOM and omit individual Spring Cloud dependency versions.
  • Prefer the reactive gateway unless the project deliberately uses the MVC variant.

Route rules

  • Use stable route IDs and explicit predicates.
  • Strip untrusted forwarding, identity, and internal headers at the edge.
  • Add correlation headers only after removing client-supplied values.
  • Keep path rewriting and host changes visible in route configuration.
  • Set connect and response timeouts globally, with narrow route overrides.

Security and resilience

  • Authenticate at the edge and authorize again in downstream services.
  • Relay tokens only to intended audiences.
  • Rate-limit by trusted identity or API key, not an unverified header.
  • Retry only idempotent operations and only before response commitment.
  • Use circuit breakers for failing dependencies; never hide sustained failure with unlimited retries.

Testing and operations

  • Test predicates, filters, header removal, status mapping, and timeouts.
  • Use WireMock or a containerized upstream for integration tests.
  • Emit route ID, outcome, latency, and upstream metrics with bounded tags.

Examples

  • See examples/good-routes.yml and examples/bad-routes.yml.

Gotchas

  • Agent trusts X-User-Id from the public request - derive identity after authentication.
  • Agent retries POST requests by default - retry only operations proven idempotent.
  • Agent adds business orchestration to a gateway filter - keep domain logic downstream.
  • Agent omits response timeouts - stalled upstreams can exhaust gateway resources.
  • Agent mixes incompatible Spring Cloud and Boot versions - use the official compatibility matrix.
