What it does

Once installed, when you ask the agent to start a new Spring Boot project in Kotlin, it follows a fixed set of steps: check that Java is present, download a project template from start.spring.io with chosen dependencies, unzip it, add SpringDoc, ArchUnit, Redis, R2DBC and MongoDB settings, create a docker-compose file for those databases, update .gitignore, and run the Gradle tests. It is a repeatable recipe rather than a general coding assistant.

Great for

  • Java/Kotlin developers who want a reactive Spring Boot starter wired to Redis, PostgreSQL and MongoDB
  • Teams that want a consistent local development setup with Docker Compose
  • Developers who want a quick baseline project to adapt

Skip it if

  • Projects that do not use Redis, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, since the skill adds all three regardless of need
  • Production deployments: it hardcodes the default password 'rootroot' in application.properties and docker-compose, which is only suitable for local development
  • Anyone who cannot run terminal commands, since every step is a shell command

Try asking

  • “Create a new Spring Boot Kotlin project called orders-service”
  • “Set up a Kotlin Spring Boot skeleton with Redis and PostgreSQL for my API”
  • “Scaffold a Spring Boot 3.4 Kotlin project with Docker Compose databases”

    Claude Code / Agent SDK (this project only)

    mkdir -p .claude/skills && unzip create-spring-boot-kotlin-project.zip -d .claude/skills/

    Claude apps (web/desktop): Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload skill, and choose the ZIP.

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Tell the agent your project name so the artifactId and folder name match what you want; the default is demo-kotlin.
  • Review the hardcoded credentials (rootroot) and change them before any shared or production use.
  • The skill's steps include a duplicated 'Unzip the downloaded file' section; check the result and skip the repeat if the agent runs it twice.
