Spring Boot Project Creator

Overview

Generates a fully configured Spring Boot project from scratch using the Spring Initializr API. The skill walks the user through selecting project parameters, choosing an architecture style (DDD or Layered), configuring data stores, and setting up Docker Compose for local development. The result is a build-ready project with standardized structure, dependency management, and configuration.

When to Use

Bootstrap a new Spring Boot 3.x or 4.x project with a standard structure.

Initialize a backend microservice with JPA, SpringDoc OpenAPI, and Docker Compose.

Scaffold a project following either DDD (Domain-Driven Design) or Layered (Controller/Service/Repository/Model) architecture.

Set up local development infrastructure with PostgreSQL, Redis, and/or MongoDB via Docker Compose.
