16 stars

Best use case

springboot-tdd is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Test-driven development for Spring Boot using JUnit 5, Mockito, MockMvc, Testcontainers, and JaCoCo. Use when adding features, fixing bugs, or refactoring.

Teams using springboot-tdd should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Spring Boot TDD Workflow

TDD guidance for Spring Boot services with 80%+ coverage (unit + integration).

## When to Use

- New features or endpoints
- Bug fixes or refactors
- Adding data access logic or security rules

## Workflow

1) Write tests first (they should fail)
2) Implement minimal code to pass
3) Refactor with tests green
4) Enforce coverage (JaCoCo)

## Unit Tests (JUnit 5 + Mockito)

```java
@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
class MarketServiceTest {
  @Mock MarketRepository repo;
  @InjectMocks MarketService service;

  @Test
  void createsMarket() {
    CreateMarketRequest req = new CreateMarketRequest("name", "desc", Instant.now(), List.of("cat"));
    when(repo.save(any())).thenAnswer(inv -> inv.getArgument(0));

    Market result = service.create(req);

    assertThat(result.name()).isEqualTo("name");
    verify(repo).save(any());
  }
}
```

Patterns:
- Arrange-Act-Assert
- Avoid partial mocks; prefer explicit stubbing
- Use `@ParameterizedTest` for variants

## Web Layer Tests (MockMvc)

```java
@WebMvcTest(MarketController.class)
class MarketControllerTest {
  @Autowired MockMvc mockMvc;
  @MockBean MarketService marketService;

  @Test
  void returnsMarkets() throws Exception {
    when(marketService.list(any())).thenReturn(Page.empty());

    mockMvc.perform(get("/api/markets"))
        .andExpect(status().isOk())
        .andExpect(jsonPath("$.content").isArray());
  }
}
```

## Integration Tests (SpringBootTest)

```java
@SpringBootTest
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
@ActiveProfiles("test")
class MarketIntegrationTest {
  @Autowired MockMvc mockMvc;

  @Test
  void createsMarket() throws Exception {
    mockMvc.perform(post("/api/markets")
        .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        .content("""
          {"name":"Test","description":"Desc","endDate":"2030-01-01T00:00:00Z","categories":["general"]}
        """))
      .andExpect(status().isCreated());
  }
}
```

## Persistence Tests (DataJpaTest)

```java
@DataJpaTest
@AutoConfigureTestDatabase(replace = AutoConfigureTestDatabase.Replace.NONE)
@Import(TestContainersConfig.class)
class MarketRepositoryTest {
  @Autowired MarketRepository repo;

  @Test
  void savesAndFinds() {
    MarketEntity entity = new MarketEntity();
    entity.setName("Test");
    repo.save(entity);

    Optional<MarketEntity> found = repo.findByName("Test");
    assertThat(found).isPresent();
  }
}
```

## Testcontainers

- Use reusable containers for Postgres/Redis to mirror production
- Wire via `@DynamicPropertySource` to inject JDBC URLs into Spring context

## Coverage (JaCoCo)

Maven snippet:
```xml
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
  <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>0.8.14</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals><goal>prepare-agent</goal></goals>
    </execution>
    <execution>
      <id>report</id>
      <phase>verify</phase>
      <goals><goal>report</goal></goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
```

## Assertions

- Prefer AssertJ (`assertThat`) for readability
- For JSON responses, use `jsonPath`
- For exceptions: `assertThatThrownBy(...)`

## Test Data Builders

```java
class MarketBuilder {
  private String name = "Test";
  MarketBuilder withName(String name) { this.name = name; return this; }
  Market build() { return new Market(null, name, MarketStatus.ACTIVE); }
}
```

## CI Commands

- Maven: `mvn -T 4 test` or `mvn verify`
- Gradle: `./gradlew test jacocoTestReport`

**Remember**: Keep tests fast, isolated, and deterministic. Test behavior, not implementation details.

token-budget-advisor

16
from Jamkris/everything-gemini-code

Offers the user an informed choice about how much response depth to consume before answering. Use this skill when the user explicitly wants to control response length, depth, or token budget. TRIGGER when: "token budget", "token count", "token usage", "token limit", "response length", "answer depth", "short version", "brief answer", "detailed answer", "exhaustive answer", "respuesta corta vs larga", "cuántos tokens", "ahorrar tokens", "responde al 50%", "dame la versión corta", "quiero controlar cuánto usas", or clear variants where the user is explicitly asking to control answer size or depth. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user has already specified a level in the current session (maintain it), the request is clearly a one-word answer, or "token" refers to auth/session/payment tokens rather than response size.
