# 304-frameworks-spring-boot-security Configures Spring Boot security, endpoint authorization, and SecurityFilterChain. It helps implement JWT resource servers, method security, and safe headers. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 301 installs · ★ 456 - Author: Juan Antonio Breña Moral - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/jabrena/plinth/tree/HEAD/skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-21 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security ## What it does This skill guides the setup of Spring Security across APIs and web endpoints. It structures `SecurityFilterChain` beans, handles OAuth2 or JWT resource server integration, and configures form login. The assistant reviews role scopes under least privilege, secures methods via `@PreAuthorize`, and stops sensitive data exposure in logs and error responses. Strict verification gates govern every modification. The project must compile through `./mvnw compile` or `mvn compile` before any edits start. If the build fails, the skill halts immediately. After applying changes, it runs `./mvnw clean verify` to confirm project integrity. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 304-frameworks-spring-boot-security -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 304-frameworks-spring-boot-security -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 304-frameworks-spring-boot-security -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install jabrena/plinth 304-frameworks-spring-boot-security ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 304-frameworks-spring-boot-security -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/jabrena/plinth --path skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 304-frameworks-spring-boot-security -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/jabrena/plinth/tree/HEAD/skills/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security/SKILL.md ## When to use it - configure SecurityFilterChain and endpoint authorization rules - integrate OAuth2 and JWT resource server patterns - enforce method security using @PreAuthorize or @Secured - apply safe security headers, CORS, and CSRF policies - prevent credentials and sensitive data leaks in log files ## Example prompts - Review the Spring Boot SecurityFilterChain and add secure HTTP headers - Configure a JWT resource server and restrict service methods with @PreAuthorize - Harden CSRF and CORS settings for REST endpoints and prevent sensitive leaks in logs ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE bb6f5c1716b66a94 ```text --- name: 304-frameworks-spring-boot-security description: Use when you need to design, review, or improve security in Spring Boot applications — including SecurityFilterChain, OAuth2/JWT resource server patterns, form login basics, method security (@PreAuthorize), CSRF and CORS for APIs, session fixation, security headers, exception handling, password encoding, and sensitive-data-safe logging. This should trigger for requests such as 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. Part of Plinth Toolkit license: Apache-2.0 metadata: author: Juan Antonio Breña Moral version: 0.19.0 --- # Spring 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 compile` or `mvn compile` before applying any change - **SAFETY**: If compilation fails, stop immediately - **VERIFY**: Run `./mvnw clean verify` or `mvn clean verify` after 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 1. **Read reference and assess project context** Read `references/304-frameworks-spring-boot-security.md` and inspect the current project setup before proposing changes. 2. **Gather scope and decide target improvements** Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply. 3. **Apply framework-aligned changes** Implement or refactor security-related configuration/code following the reference patterns and project conventions. 4. **Run verification and report results** Execute appropriate build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions. ## Reference ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE bb6f5c1716b66a94 The third-party file has ended.
