SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Spring Boot backends can drift from intended architecture. This Skill provides guidance to enforce clean boundaries, proper layering, and consistent testing practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture guardrails aligned with hexagonal/clean architecture concepts.
  • Clear guidance on package structures, adapters, and domain rules.
  • Use Case: review or implement architecture in a Spring Boot module and ensure tests align with project workflows.

Quick Start

Follow these steps to review and restructure a Spring Boot module to respect hexagonal boundaries and run the project's standard Maven tests.

Frequently Asked Questions about spring-boot-architecture

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce hexagonal architecture boundaries in a Spring Boot backend?▼

Enforce hexagonal architecture in Spring Boot by applying guardrails to package structures, adapters, and domain rules. This ensures domain isolation and a framework-agnostic core, preventing architectural drift across backend modules.

What is the best way to structure packages for clean architecture in Spring Boot?▼

The best way to structure packages for clean architecture in Spring Boot is by isolating domain logic from adapters. This Skill guides proper layering and boundary validation to keep your core framework-agnostic.

Can I use this to validate architecture and run Maven tests together?▼

Yes, you can validate architecture and run Maven tests together. This Skill enforces architecture adherence and ensures consistent test strategies align with project workflows using standard Maven commands.

Does this approach require a framework-agnostic domain core in Java Spring Boot?▼

Yes, this approach requires a framework-agnostic domain core in Java Spring Boot. It enforces domain isolation and boundary validation to ensure your core logic remains independent of framework dependencies.

Why does my Spring Boot backend architecture drift over time?▼

Spring Boot backend architecture drifts over time when clean boundaries and proper layering are not enforced. This Skill provides guardrails to maintain domain isolation and prevent cross-boundary dependencies.

When should I not use hexagonal architecture for my Spring Boot project?▼

Avoid hexagonal architecture for simple Spring Boot projects where the overhead of domain isolation and adapter boundaries outweighs the benefits. This Skill targets backend modules requiring strict architecture adherence and boundary validation.
