| description | Use when you need Kafka messaging in Micronaut — including @KafkaClient and @KafkaListener design, @Serdeable serialization, topic/partition strategy, TestPropertyProvider integration tests, retries and dead-letter processing, and error handling. This should trigger for requests such as Add Kafka in Micronaut; Review Micronaut Kafka listeners; Improve retry and failure handling for Micronaut Kafka. Part of cursor-rules-java project |

Micronaut — Kafka messaging
Apply Micronaut Kafka guidance with concrete examples for design, implementation, and error handling.
Constraints
Compile before messaging refactors; verify after changes.
- MANDATORY: Run
./mvnw compile or mvn compile before applying any change
- SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verify or mvn clean verify after applying improvements
- BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed rules and examples
When to use this skill
- Add Kafka in Micronaut
- Review Micronaut Kafka consumers/producers
- Improve retries, dead-letter handling, or idempotency in Micronaut Kafka
Workflow
- Read reference and assess project context
Read references/514-frameworks-micronaut-kafka.md and inspect current messaging setup before proposing changes.
- Gather scope and decide target improvements
Identify delivery guarantees and resilience requirements to define safe improvements.
- Apply framework-aligned changes
Implement/refactor clients, listeners, and failure strategies in Micronaut Kafka.
- Run verification and report results
Execute build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and follow-up actions.
