What it does

Spring Modulith is an agent skill from rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills. Use when organizing or verifying a modular Spring Boot monolith with Spring Modulith, including module APIs, dependency rules and reliable module events. Do not restructure an application into modules for an unrelated endpoint change.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. 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

  • Verifying a modular Spring Boot monolith with Spring Modulith
  • Including module APIs
  • Dependency rules and reliable module events

Example prompts

  • “/spring-modulith”

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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.spring.io

    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 Modulith loads about 747 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 316 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~747

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 Modulith

Spring Boot 3 baseline

Use the Spring Modulith 1.4 line with Boot 3.5; check the official compatibility matrix for older Boot 3 minors.

Apply within the existing architecture

Inspect the application root package, module boundaries and current dependency graph. Use direct subpackages as modules; keep their API at the module root and implementation in internal subpackages. Expose a named interface only for an intentional shared API. Use allowedDependencies when the architecture needs explicit dependency constraints. Avoid creating a generic shared module that every feature depends on.

Verify boundaries

Add spring-modulith-starter-test with test scope and run ApplicationModules.of(Application.class).verify() in CI. It checks cycles and access to module internals. Add ApplicationModuleTest for behavior confined to a module. A passing structure check does not prove transactional or delivery correctness.

See good module verification and bad cross-module dependency.

Reliable events

Publish immutable event payloads containing IDs and necessary facts, not managed JPA entities. Use ApplicationModuleListener for asynchronous transactional listeners when that timing fits. For delivery that must survive a process crash, configure a persistent event publication registry using the chosen JDBC/JPA starter and manage its schema through migrations. An in-memory registry and a plain after-commit callback are not durable delivery.

Make handlers idempotent: a crash after the business effect but before recording completion can cause redelivery. Define retry/republication and retention explicitly, and test failed listeners and application restarts. For external brokers, use supported event externalization with persistent publication tracking; do not promise end-to-end exactly-once processing.

Gotchas

  • Agent imports a repository from another module's internal package - call its public API or consume an event.
  • Agent adds Modulith to a simple unrelated task - preserve the requested scope.
  • Agent assumes ApplicationModuleListener alone guarantees durability - configure persistent publication tracking.
  • Agent publishes an entity with lazy associations - publish an immutable event contract.
  • Agent tests only the happy path - verify cycles, module access and event redelivery.
