Use this skill

Your agent runs on

Adds every file the skill has, pinned so you can update it. No account needed.

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"
decimalai skills add jeffallan-spring-boot-engineer
claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

The same install from Python, for a notebook or a setup script.

Install

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"

Add the skill

from decimalai import skillpkg

# Writes .agents/skills and .decimal/skills.toml. Safe to run twice.
result = skillpkg.add("jeffallan-spring-boot-engineer")
if result.exit_code:
    raise SystemExit(result.problems)

print("Added. Start Claude Code with the command below.")

Start Claude Code with it

claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

Type these in a Claude Code session. No account or API key. It writes the skill and any files it bundles, and asks first when its safety rating isn't Passed.

Add the DecimalAI plugin, once

/plugin marketplace add decimal-labs/decimalai-claude-plugins
/plugin install decimalai@decimalai

Install this skill

/decimalai:install jeffallan-spring-boot-engineer

The plugin needs python3 and curl on your machine.

No Python or account. Claude Code picks it up in its next session.

Save it into your project

curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .claude/skills/jeffallan-spring-boot-engineer/SKILL.md https://app.decimal.ai/s/jeffallan-spring-boot-engineer/SKILL.md

Copy SKILL.md

Save it in your project, as

.claude/skills/jeffallan-spring-boot-engineer/SKILL.md

This gets SKILL.md only. The skill's 5 other files are not included.

Core Workflow

Analyze requirements — Identify service boundaries, APIs, data models, security needs
Design architecture — Plan microservices, data access, cloud integration, security; confirm design before coding
Implement — Create services with constructor injection and layered architecture (see Quick Start below)
Secure — Add Spring Security, OAuth2, method security, CORS configuration; verify security rules compile and pass tests. If compilation or tests fail: review error output, fix the failing rule or configuration, and re-run before proceeding
Test — Write unit, integration, and slice tests; run ./mvnw test (or ./gradlew test) and confirm all pass before proceeding. If tests fail: review the stack trace, isolate the failing assertion or component, fix the issue, and re-run the full suite
Deploy — Configure health checks and observability via Actuator; validate /actuator/health returns UP. If health is DOWN: check the components detail in the response, resolve the failing component (e.g., datasource, broker), and re-validate

Quick Start — Minimal Working Structure

A standard Spring Boot feature consists of these layers. Use these as copy-paste starting points.

Entity

@Entity
@Table(name = "products")
public class Product {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    @NotBlank
    private String name;

    @DecimalMin("0.0")
    private BigDecimal price;

    // getters / setters or use @Data (Lombok)
}

Repository

public interface ProductRepository extends JpaRepository<Product, Long> {
    List<Product> findByNameContainingIgnoreCase(String name);
}

Service (constructor injection)

@Service
public class ProductService {
    private final ProductRepository repo;

    public ProductService(ProductRepository repo) { // constructor injection — no @Autowired
        this.repo = repo;
    }

    @Transactional(readOnly = true)
    public List<Product> search(String name) {
        return repo.findByNameContainingIgnoreCase(name);
    }

    @Transactional
    public Product create(ProductRequest request) {
        var product = new Product();
        product.setName(request.name());
        product.setPrice(request.price());
        return repo.save(product);
    }
}

REST Controller

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1/products")
@Validated
public class ProductController {
    private final ProductService service;

    public ProductController(ProductService service) {
        this.service = service;
    }

    @GetMapping
    public List<Product> search(@RequestParam(defaultValue = "") String name) {
        return service.search(name);
    }

    @PostMapping
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.CREATED)
    public Product create(@Valid @RequestBody ProductRequest request) {
        return service.create(request);
    }
}

DTO (record)

public record ProductRequest(
    @NotBlank String name,
    @DecimalMin("0.0") BigDecimal price
) {}

Global Exception Handler

@RestControllerAdvice
public class GlobalExceptionHandler {
    @ExceptionHandler(MethodArgumentNotValidException.class)
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST)
    public Map<String, String> handleValidation(MethodArgumentNotValidException ex) {
        return ex.getBindingResult().getFieldErrors().stream()
            .collect(Collectors.toMap(FieldError::getField, FieldError::getDefaultMessage));
    }

    @ExceptionHandler(EntityNotFoundException.class)
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND)
    public Map<String, String> handleNotFound(EntityNotFoundException ex) {
        return Map.of("error", ex.getMessage());
    }
}

Test Slice

@WebMvcTest(ProductController.class)
class ProductControllerTest {
    @Autowired MockMvc mockMvc;
    @MockBean ProductService service;

    @Test
    void createProduct_validRequest_returns201() throws Exception {
        var product = new Product(); product.setName("Widget"); product.setPrice(BigDecimal.TEN);
        when(service.create(any())).thenReturn(product);

        mockMvc.perform(post("/api/v1/products")
                .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                .content("""{"name":"Widget","price":10.0}"""))
            .andExpect(status().isCreated())
            .andExpect(jsonPath("$.name").value("Widget"));
    }
}

Constraints

MUST DO

Rule	Correct Pattern
Constructor injection	`public MyService(Dep dep) { this.dep = dep; }`
Validate API input	`@Valid @RequestBody MyRequest req` on every mutating endpoint
Type-safe config	`@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "app")` bound to a record/class
Appropriate stereotype	`@Service` for business logic, `@Repository` for data, `@RestController` for HTTP
Transaction scope	`@Transactional` on multi-step writes; `@Transactional(readOnly = true)` on reads
Hide internals	Catch domain exceptions in `@RestControllerAdvice`; return problem details, not stack traces
Externalize secrets	Use environment variables or Spring Cloud Config — never `application.properties`

MUST NOT DO

Use field injection (@Autowired on fields)
Skip input validation on API endpoints
Use @Component when @Service/@Repository/@Controller applies
Mix blocking and reactive code (e.g., calling .block() inside a WebFlux chain)
Store secrets or credentials in application.properties/application.yml
Hardcode URLs, credentials, or environment-specific values
Use deprecated Spring Boot 2.x patterns (e.g., WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter)
