Use when starting a new Spring Boot project or service: scaffolding or bootstrapping a backend, REST API, microservice or modular monolith; choosing how to structure it (layered, package-by-module, modular monolith, tomato, DDD-hexagonal); selecting Spring Boot 4 features; generating the base project with progen or Spring Initializr; or applying the bundled templates and references in this skill. Not for migrating existing projects or for isolated JPA/repository work without broader…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Creating Spring Boot Projects

## Purpose

Use this skill to create new Spring Boot 4 projects or define their structure before implementation. The skill adds value when the user needs an architecture decision, Spring Boot 4 feature selection, or the bundled templates in `assets/`.

## Critical rules

- Never jump straight to implementation before assessing project complexity.
- Default to the simplest architecture that fits the domain.
- Treat Spring Boot 4 as the target. Default new projects to Java 25 (LTS). Accept 21 or 17 when the user asks. Read `references/java-version-policy.md` before you pick a newer, non-LTS Java.
- Read the reference files before choosing a higher-complexity architecture or optional framework feature.
- Reuse the templates in `assets/` instead of rewriting the same scaffolding from scratch.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Assess project shape

Collect the project constraints first:

1. Domain complexity: simple CRUD, moderate workflow, or rich domain rules.
2. Team size: 1-3, 3-10, or 10+.
3. Expected lifespan: months, 1-2 years, or 5+ years.
4. Type-safety needs: basic validation or strong value-object-heavy modeling.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add a-pavithraa/springboot-skills-marketplace/creating-springboot-projects@sha256:1a6a19d76f341ac0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.43ef902, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
