Spring Boot & Kotlin Backend
Builds robust, production-ready backend services and REST APIs using Kotlin, Spring Boot, and industry-standard testing patterns.
This skill provides specialized domain guidance for architecting and implementing Spring Boot applications in Kotlin. It streamlines the development of RESTful endpoints, service layer business logic, and database integrations while enforcing rigorous testing standards, such as using real infrastructure instead of mocks for integration tests. By providing standardized validation commands and detailed blocker resolution patterns, it ensures high-quality code and consistent architectural patterns across backend projects, helping Claude navigate complex service-to-database workflows.
