Smart code scanner that detects Spring Boot patterns and routes to appropriate skills. Use when editing Java or Kotlin files in Spring Boot projects, working with pom.xml/build.gradle containing spring-boot-starter, or when context suggests Spring Boot development. Detects annotations (@RestController, @Entity, @EnableWebSecurity, @SpringBootTest) to determine relevant skills and provides contextual guidance. Uses progressive automation - auto-invokes for low-risk patterns (web-api, data, DDD), confirms before loading high-risk skills (security, testing, verify).

Automatically generates comprehensive test suites (unit, integration, E2E) based on code and past testing patterns. Use when user says "write tests", "test this", "add coverage", or after fixing bugs to create regression tests. Eliminates testing friction for ADHD users.

Spring Boot 4 observability with Actuator, Micrometer, and OpenTelemetry. Use when configuring health indicators, custom metrics, distributed tracing, production endpoint exposure, or Kubernetes/Cloud Run probes. Covers Actuator security, Micrometer Timer/Counter/Gauge patterns, and OpenTelemetry span customization.

Spring Security 7 implementation for Spring Boot 4. Use when configuring authentication, authorization, OAuth2/JWT resource servers, method security, or CORS/CSRF.
