Details
From the project READMESpring Boot Security Guidelines
Apply Spring Boot security best practices with secure-by-default API boundaries.
What is covered in this Skill?
- Spring Security configuration and SecurityFilterChain setup
- Authentication and authorization policies for endpoints
- Method-level security (@PreAuthorize / @Secured)
- Principle of least privilege for roles and scopes
- Secure error handling and denial responses
- Sensitive data handling in logs and responses
Scope: Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and good/bad examples.
Constraints
Before applying security changes, ensure the project compiles. After improvements, run full verification.
- MANDATORY: Run
./mvnw compileormvn compilebefore applying any change - SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verifyormvn clean verifyafter applying improvements - BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed rules and examples
When to use this skill
- Add Spring Boot security support
- Review Spring Boot security configuration
- Improve API authorization in Spring Boot
- Add JWT resource server security in Spring Boot
- Harden Spring Boot security headers and CSRF settings
- Implement method security with @PreAuthorize in Spring Boot
Workflow
- Read reference and assess project context
Read references/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security.md and inspect the current project setup before proposing changes.
- Gather scope and decide target improvements
Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply.
- Apply framework-aligned changes
Implement or refactor security-related configuration/code following the reference patterns and project conventions.
- Run verification and report results
Execute appropriate build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions.
