About 305-frameworks-spring-boot-modulith
A skill for applying Spring Modulith to modular monoliths built with Spring Boot. It covers module boundaries, architecture verification, domain events, module tests, and generated documentation, with checks aligned to the project's Boot version and build process.
Key features
- 01Spring Modulith dependency guidance
- 02Business-capability module structure
- 03Module boundary verification
- 04Named interfaces and dependencies
- 05Domain events and publication
- 06Module tests and documentation
Use cases
- 01Introduce Spring Modulith in a Spring Boot app
- 02Review package and module boundaries
- 03Add module architecture tests
- 04Test module interactions with domain events

Details
From the project READMESpring Boot - Spring Modulith
Apply Spring Modulith guidelines for Spring Boot modular monoliths.
What is covered in this Skill?
- Spring Modulith BOM and starter dependency selection
- Business-capability package structure for application modules
- ApplicationModules verification and architecture tests
- Named interfaces and explicit allowed dependencies
- Domain events for loose coupling between modules
- @ApplicationModuleTest and Scenario-based module integration tests
- Generated module documentation, actuator exposure, and observability
- Event publication registry choices for reliable domain events
Scope: Apply recommendations based on the reference rules, official Spring Modulith documentation, and good/bad examples.
Constraints
Before applying Spring Modulith changes, ensure the project compiles. After improvements, run full verification including module structure tests.
- MANDATORY: Run
./mvnw compileormvn compilebefore applying any change - PRECONDITION: The project must be a Spring Boot application; for non-Boot Java modularity use architecture or design skills instead
- BASELINE: Align dependency choices with Spring Boot 4.0.x and the Spring Modulith compatibility matrix
- SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verifyormvn clean verifyafter applying improvements - BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed rules, good/bad patterns, and official documentation links
When to use this skill
- Add Spring Modulith to a Spring Boot application
- Review Spring Modulith module boundaries
- Improve modular monolith architecture in Spring Boot
- Add @ApplicationModuleTest tests
- Generate Spring Modulith documentation
- Refactor Spring Boot modules with Spring Modulith
Workflow
- Read reference and inspect project structure
Read references/305-frameworks-spring-boot-modulith.md and inspect the Spring Boot version, Maven dependencies, main application package, and current package/module boundaries.
- Model application modules
Identify business-capability modules, public APIs, internal packages, named interfaces, and intentional allowed dependencies.
- Apply framework-aligned changes
Add or refine Spring Modulith dependencies, package annotations, architecture verification tests, domain events, and module tests following the reference patterns.
- Run verification and report results
Execute appropriate build/tests, especially ApplicationModules.verify() and @ApplicationModuleTest coverage, then summarize changes, risks, and follow-up module design work.
