What it does

When installed, the agent reviews and writes Java Spring Boot code with security practices in mind. It follows checklists and code patterns for login tokens, role-based access, validating user input, handling CSRF and CORS, keeping passwords and secrets out of code, setting browser security headers, and limiting request rates. It shows good and bad examples so the agent can point out risky code in a project.

Great for

  • Java developers building or maintaining Spring Boot REST APIs
  • Teams wanting a security checklist during code review
  • Developers adding login, JWT or OAuth2 to an existing Spring service

Skip it if

  • Non-Java projects, since the guidance is specific to Spring Boot (the patterns will not transfer directly)
  • Anyone expecting a complete security audit: the file is a set of guidelines and examples, not a scanner, and the agent may miss issues or suggest outdated configuration
  • Production systems where the agent's suggested config is applied without review, because examples like disabling CSRF or the sample rate-limit code need context-specific judgement

Try asking

  • “Review this Spring Boot controller for missing authorization checks and input validation”
  • “Add JWT authentication to my Spring Boot API using a OncePerRequestFilter”
  • “Move the database password in application.yml to an environment variable and check for other hardcoded secrets”
  • “Set up CORS and security headers for my Spring Boot app serving a React frontend”

  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

  • Name the specific file or endpoint you want reviewed so the agent applies the relevant section rather than the whole checklist
  • Verify generated security configuration against current Spring Security documentation, since library APIs change between versions
  • Pair it with dependency scanning tools for CVE checks, because the skill describes scanning but does not perform it itself
