creating-springboot-projects
Creates Java 25 and Spring Boot 4 project structures, scaffolds, and implementation starting points for new services, REST APIs, and modular backends. Use when the task is to initialize a Spring Boot project, choose an architecture, select Spring Boot 4 features, or apply the bundled templates and references in this skill. Do not use for migrating existing projects or for isolated JPA/repository work without broader project-creation context.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that hits all the marks. It provides specific capabilities, includes natural trigger terms users would use, explicitly states both what it does and when to use it, and includes boundary conditions to prevent conflicts with related skills. The version specificity (Java 25, Spring Boot 4) and explicit exclusions make it highly distinctive.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Creates Java 25 and Spring Boot 4 project structures, scaffolds, and implementation starting points for new services, REST APIs, and modular backends.' These are concrete, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Creates Java 25 and Spring Boot 4 project structures...') AND when ('Use when the task is to initialize a Spring Boot project, choose an architecture...'). Also includes explicit 'Do not use' guidance for boundary clarity. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'Spring Boot project', 'REST APIs', 'architecture', 'Spring Boot 4 features', 'templates', 'Java 25'. Also includes negative triggers ('migrating existing projects', 'JPA/repository work') to prevent misuse. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very specific niche: Java 25 + Spring Boot 4 project initialization. The explicit exclusions ('Do not use for migrating existing projects or for isolated JPA/repository work') further reduce conflict risk with related but different skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-crafted skill that efficiently guides project creation decisions without over-explaining. It provides concrete templates, clear decision matrices, and a structured workflow with appropriate checkpoints. The progressive disclosure to reference files and asset templates is well-organized and clearly signaled.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, avoiding explanations of concepts Claude already knows. It uses tables, bullet points, and structured sections without padding or unnecessary context about what Spring Boot or Java are. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete guidance with specific file paths to templates, exact dependency names, a decision matrix with clear criteria, and a structured output format. The workflow steps are specific and executable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 6-step workflow with explicit sequencing, assessment before implementation, decision checkpoints (read reference files before proceeding), and handoff criteria for specialized concerns. The workflow prevents premature implementation. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with overview in SKILL.md and clear one-level-deep references to `references/architecture-guide.md` and `references/spring-boot-4-features.md`. Asset templates are listed but not inlined, maintaining appropriate separation. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
