# Create Spring Boot Java project prompt
- Please make sure you have the following software installed on your system:
- Java 21
- Docker
- Docker Compose
- If you need to custom the project name, please change the `artifactId` and the `packageName` in [download-spring-boot-project-template](#download-spring-boot-project-template)
- If you need to update the Spring Boot version, please change the `bootVersion` in [download-spring-boot-project-template](#download-spring-boot-project-template)
## Check Java version
- Run following command in terminal and check the version of Java
```shell
java -version
```
## Download Spring Boot project template
- Run following command in terminal to download a Spring Boot project template
```shell
curl https://start.spring.io/starter.zip \
-d artifactId=${input:projectName:demo-java} \
-d bootVersion=3.4.5 \
-d dependencies=lombok,configuration-processor,web,data-jpa,postgresql,data-redis,data-mongodb,validation,cache,testcontainers \
-d javaVersion=21 \
-d packageName=com.example \
-d packaging=jar \
-d type=maven-project \
-o starter.zip
```
## Unzip the downloaded file
- Run following command in terminal to unzip the downloaded file
```shell
unzip starter.zip -d ./${input:projectName:demo-java}
```
## Remove the downloaded zip file
- Run following command in terminal to delete the downloaded zip file
```shell
rm -f starter.zip
```
## Change directory to the project root
- Run following command in terminal to change directory to the project root
```shell
cd ${input:projectName:demo-java}
```
## Add additional dependencies
- Insert `springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui` and `archunit-junit5` dependency into `pom.xml` file
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
<artifactId>springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui</artifactId>
<version>2.8.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.tngtech.archunit</groupId>
<artifactId>archunit-junit5</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
```
## Add SpringDoc, Redis, JPA and MongoDB configurations
- Insert SpringDoc configurations into `application.properties` file
```properties
# SpringDoc configurations
springdoc.swagger-ui.doc-expansion=none
springdoc.swagger-ui.operations-sorter=alpha
springdoc.swagger-ui.tags-sorter=alpha
```
- Insert Redis configurations into `application.properties` file
```properties
# Redis configurations
spring.data.redis.host=localhost
spring.data.redis.port=6379
spring.data.redis.password=rootroot
```
- Insert JPA configurations into `application.properties` file
```properties
# JPA configurations
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=rootroot
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.format_sql=true
```
- Insert MongoDB configurations into `application.properties` file
```properties
# MongoDB configurations
spring.data.mongodb.host=localhost
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017
spring.data.mongodb.authentication-database=admin
spring.data.mongodb.username=root
spring.data.mongodb.password=rootroot
spring.data.mongodb.database=test
```
## Add `docker-compose.yaml` with Redis, PostgreSQL and MongoDB services
- Create `docker-compose.yaml` at project root and add following services: `redis:6`, `postgresql:17` and `mongo:8`.
- redis service should have
- password `rootroot`
- mapping port 6379 to 6379
- mounting volume `./redis_data` to `/data`
- postgresql service should have
- password `rootroot`
- mapping port 5432 to 5432
- mounting volume `./postgres_data` to `/var/lib/postgresql/data`
- mongo service should have
- initdb root username `root`
- initdb root password `rootroot`
- mapping port 27017 to 27017
- mounting volume `./mongo_data` to `/data/db`
## Add `.gitignore` file
- Insert `redis_data`, `postgres_data` and `mongo_data` directories in `.gitignore` file
## Run Maven test command
- Run maven clean test command to check if the project is working
```shell
./mvnw clean test
```
## Run Maven run command (Optional)
- (Optional) `docker-compose up -d` to start the services, `./mvnw spring-boot:run` to run the Spring Boot project, `docker-compose rm -sf` to stop the services.

- acquire-codebase-knowledgeUse this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
- acreadiness-assessRun the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
- acreadiness-generate-instructionsGenerate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
- acreadiness-policyHelp the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
- add-educational-comments'Add educational comments to the file specified, or prompt asking for file to comment if one is not provided.'
- adobe-illustrator-scriptingWrite, debug, and optimize Adobe Illustrator automation scripts using ExtendScript (JavaScript/JSX). Use when creating or modifying scripts that manipulate documents, layers, paths, text frames, colors, symbols, artboards, or any Illustrator DOM objects. Covers the complete JavaScript object model, coordinate system, measurement units, export workflows, and scripting best practices.
