What it does
Spring Boot Skill is an agent skill from sivaprasadreddy/sivalabs-agent-skills. Build Spring Boot 4.x applications following the best practices. Use this skill: When developing Spring Boot applications using Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Modulith, Spring Security To create recommended Spring Boot package structure To implement REST APIs, entities/repositories, service layer, modular monoliths To use Thymeleaf view templates for building web applications To write tests for REST APIs and Web applications To write ArchUnit tests for testing architecture To configure the recommended…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including reference files (for example `references/archunit.md`, `references/code-organization.md` and `references/spring-boot-docker-compose.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development and REST APIs. It works with Spring Boot and Docker. The repository describes itself as: Spring Boot skills for AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Backend development
- Tasks that involve REST APIs
Example prompts
- “/spring-boot-skill”
Requirements
- Docker
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e9f9861. 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 Boot Skill loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 204 tokens; SKILL.md has 317 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Build Spring Boot 4.x applications following the best practices. Use this skill: * When developing Spring Boot applications using Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Modulith, Spring Security * To create recommended Spring Boot package structure * To implement REST APIs, entities/repositories, service layer, modular monoliths * To use Thymeleaf view templates for building web applications * To write tests for REST APIs and Web applications * To write ArchUnit tests for testing architecture * To configure the recommended plugins and configurations to improve code quality, and testing while using Maven. * To use Spring Boot's Docker Compose support for local development * To create Taskfile for easier execution of common tasks while working with a Spring Boot application
Spring Boot Skill
Apply the practices below when developing Spring Boot applications. Read the linked reference only when working on that area.
Maven pom.xml Configuration
Read references/spring-boot-maven-config.md for Maven pom.xml configuration with supporting plugins and configurations to improve code quality, and testing.
Package structure
Read references/code-organization.md for domain-driven, module-based package layout and naming conventions.
Spring Data JPA
Implement the repository and entity layer using references/spring-data-jpa.md.
Service layer
Implement business logic in the service layer using references/spring-service-layer.md.
Spring MVC REST APIs
Implement REST APIs with Spring MVC using references/spring-webmvc-rest-api.md.
Spring Modulith
Build a modular monolith with Spring Modulith using references/spring-modulith.md.
Thymeleaf
If Thymeleaf is used for view templates, refer references/thymeleaf.md
Testing
Write tests at complementary levels — unit, sliced Spring tests, and at least one end-to-end/smoke test; the levels are not either/or. Most framework-touching tests belong at the fast sliced level (@SpringBootTest(classes = …) or a slice annotation); keep full-context @SpringBootTest for a smoke test plus a request-level end-to-end. For why the levels are complementary and how to keep a large suite fast (context caching, one container for the suite), read references/testing-strategy.md.
| What you're testing | Level | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Business/domain logic, no framework | Unit (no Spring context) | testing-unit-mocking.md |
| JPA / JDBC / JdbcClient / Spring Data JDBC / jOOQ queries | Persistence slice + Testcontainers | testing-slices-persistence.md |
| Controller, JSON serialization, or a REST client | Web slice (@WebMvcTest/@JsonTest/@RestClientTest) | testing-slices-web.md |
| A few components together, external HTTP (WireMock), or a startup/request-level smoke test | Sliced @SpringBootTest(classes = …) or smoke test | testing-integration.md |
Full REST API over a real port, full BaseIT suite (RestTestClient) | End-to-end | spring-boot-rest-api-testing.md |
A view-rendering controller (MockMvcTester) | Web slice | spring-boot-webapp-testing-with-mockmvctester.md |
Wiring a container (@ServiceConnection / dynamic properties) | — | testcontainers-wiring.md |
All persistence and integration tests use Testcontainers with a real database (never in-memory H2); see references/testcontainers-wiring.md for @ServiceConnection vs dynamic-property wiring.
Write ArchUnit Tests
To write tests for testing the architecture using ArchUnit, refer references/archunit.md
Spring Boot Docker Compose Support
To use Docker Compose support for local development, refer references/spring-boot-docker-compose.md.
Taskfile
Use references/taskfile.md for easier commands execution.
