Spring Boot Skills Marketplace

Claude Code skills that help you build Spring Boot apps with architecture that actually fits your needs.

Why This Exists

Projects that start simple tend to grow messy. These skills help you pick the right architecture for where you are now—with a clear path forward when things get complex.

Start simple. Add complexity only when complexity demands it.

Built on patterns from spring-boot-application-architecture-patterns.

Architecture Patterns (Progressive)

Pattern	Complexity	When to Use
Layered	⭐ Low	Simple CRUD, prototypes, MVPs
Package-by-Module	⭐⭐ Low-Medium	3-5 distinct features, medium apps
Modular Monolith	⭐⭐ Medium	Need module boundaries, Spring Modulith
Tomato	⭐⭐⭐ Medium-High	Rich domain, Value Objects, type safety
DDD+Hexagonal	⭐⭐⭐⭐ High	Complex domains, CQRS, infra independence

Usage

Claude Code

Skills are automatically discovered and loaded when relevant. Claude will invoke them based on your request:

You: "I need to create a new Spring Boot microservice"
Claude: [Automatically loads creating-springboot-projects skill]

You can also explicitly request a skill:

You: "Use the spring-data-jpa skill to optimize this repository"

Codex

Skills must be manually invoked using the $skill-name syntax:

using $creating-springboot-projects create a new order service
using $spring-data-jpa optimize this repository code
using $springboot-migration upgrade to Spring Boot 4
using $code-reviewer review this service implementation

For detailed reference chapters, include the path:

using $spring-data-jpa and ~/.codex/skills/spring-data-jpa/references/dto-projections.md implement efficient queries

Asks a few questions about your project, then builds the right architecture from the start.

What you get: assessment-driven scaffolding, Spring Initializr setup, and templates for Value Objects, Rich Entities, CQRS patterns, converters—whatever your chosen architecture needs.

Quick assessment covers:

• Domain complexity (CRUD vs. business rules)
• Team size and project lifespan
• Type safety requirements
• Bounded contexts
