## What it does

The skill covers Micronaut core: a thin `main` calling `Micronaut.run(Application.class, args)`, bean scopes (@Singleton, @Prototype), constructor injection with `jakarta.inject.Inject`, @Factory for beans you build yourself, and @ConfigurationProperties for grouped settings instead of scattered @Property entries. @Requires and environments get their own section, so environment branching stays out of domain code.

HTTP and operations are covered too: thin @Controller types delegating to @Singleton services, @Scheduled with visible failures, @ExecuteOn(TaskExecutors.BLOCKING) to push blocking I/O off the event loop, Netty graceful shutdown properties, and AOP interceptors for cross-cutting concerns. The work runs off `references/501-frameworks-micronaut-core.md`, which holds the rules plus good and bad code examples, and follows four steps: read the reference, pick the smallest safe set of changes, apply them, verify.

One hard rule: the project has to compile before anything is touched. The skill asks for `./mvnw compile` or `mvn compile` first and stops on failure, treating a broken build as a blocking condition. Afterwards it runs `./mvnw clean verify` or `mvn clean verify`. A Gradle project will not fit here — the commands assume Maven.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 501-frameworks-micronaut-core -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/501-frameworks-micronaut-core/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/501-frameworks-micronaut-core/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 501-frameworks-micronaut-core -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/501-frameworks-micronaut-core/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 501-frameworks-micronaut-core -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/501-frameworks-micronaut-core/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install jabrena/plinth 501-frameworks-micronaut-core
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/501-frameworks-micronaut-core/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 501-frameworks-micronaut-core -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/jabrena/plinth --path skills/501-frameworks-micronaut-core
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/501-frameworks-micronaut-core/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 501-frameworks-micronaut-core -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/501-frameworks-micronaut-core/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- sort beans into the right scopes and drop an unjustified request scope
- move settings into @ConfigurationProperties instead of scattered @Property
- replace environment branching with @Requires conditions
- move blocking I/O off the event loop with @ExecuteOn
- check the @Controller and service split before a review

## Example prompts
- Review the Micronaut application structure and bean scopes in this module
- Set up @Requires conditions for environments instead of checks in domain code
- Look at scheduling and graceful shutdown in the Micronaut services

# Micronaut Core Guidelines

Apply Micronaut core guidelines for DI, configuration, HTTP adapters, and operations.

**What is covered in this Skill?**

- Thin `main` with `Micronaut.run(Application.class, args)`
- Bean scopes: @Singleton, @Prototype; request scope only when justified
- Constructor injection with `jakarta.inject.Inject`
- @Factory for third-party or explicit bean construction
- @ConfigurationProperties (grouped settings) vs scattered @Property
- @Requires and environments instead of env branching in domain code
- Thin @Controller types delegating to @Singleton services
- @Scheduled with explicit failure visibility
- @ExecuteOn(TaskExecutors.BLOCKING) (or virtual-thread executors) for blocking I/O off the event loop
- Netty graceful shutdown properties
- AOP interceptors for cross-cutting concerns

**Scope:** Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and good/bad code examples.

## Constraints

Before applying Micronaut changes, ensure the project compiles. If compilation fails, stop immediately. After applying improvements, run full verification.

- **MANDATORY**: Run `./mvnw compile` or `mvn compile` before applying any change
- **PREREQUISITE**: Project must compile successfully before applying Micronaut core improvements
- **SAFETY**: If compilation fails, stop immediately — compilation failure is a blocking condition
```
