Spring Boot Patterns
Repo-local Java and Spring Boot conventions for this Nx monorepo.
When to Use
- Writing or modifying Java code in
apps/law-prep-engine.
- Working with Spring Boot services, controllers, repositories, or
configuration.
- Defining DTOs, request/response types, or value objects.
- Writing Java tests.
Load / Do Not Load
- Load this skill when the task touches Java code in
apps/law-prep-engine.
- Do not load for frontend, Python, or desktop-only tasks.
Core Workflow
- Load
.agents/references/stack-conventions/java.md for the full
convention set.
- Follow existing workspace patterns over generic framework advice.
- Place data-only records in
contract subpackages; keep behavior in parent
packages.
Ask / Escalate
- Escalate to
api-and-interface-design for public API or contract changes.
- Escalate to
security-reviewer for auth, secrets, or input validation
concerns.
