High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize a Java backend repository layout when starting a new project?▼

Standardize a Java backend repository layout by applying a plan-first approach with predefined templates for module boundaries, naming conventions, and baseline docs. This ensures repeatable setups and reduces onboarding time for new projects.

What's the best way to define module boundaries and prevent dependency cycles in a multi-module Java repo?▼

Define module boundaries and dependency directions explicitly during the repo planning phase. Enforcing a standardized layout prevents circular dependencies and clarifies structural separation across multi-module or mono-repo Java backend architectures.

How do I migrate an existing Java backend repository to a mono-repo structure?▼

Migrate to a mono-repo structure by proposing a target layout and executing a structured migration plan. The process enforces module boundaries, updates naming conventions, and integrates baseline documentation to maintain consistency.

What baseline documentation do I need for a Java backend project?▼

Baseline documentation for a Java backend project includes README, CONTRIBUTING, ADR templates, and architecture notes. These documents reduce confusion and accelerate team onboarding by standardizing project knowledge and conventions.

Does this Java repo bootstrap approach include minimal CI entrypoints?▼

Yes, the Java repo bootstrap approach includes minimal CI entrypoints. Integrating baseline CI configurations during the initial setup ensures repeatable workflows and validates module boundaries from the start of the project.
