Java Fullstack Engineering

Java Fullstack Engineering

Use this skill when the task is primarily about shipping, fixing, hardening, or explaining a Java full-stack project rather than exploring AI workflows or producing presentation materials.

This skill is optimized for projects like campus systems, management backends, recommendation platforms, and Spring Boot plus frontend applications. It keeps the work grounded in engineering quality: correctness, maintainability, API clarity, database safety, and verification.

Inputs

Useful inputs for this skill include:

• repository or module context
• stack details such as Spring Boot, MyBatis, JPA, Vue, React, MySQL, Redis
• bug reports, failing behavior, stack traces, or screenshots
• performance symptoms such as slow SQL, slow endpoints, or heavy pages
• API contracts, schema notes, or interview-presentation goals

Outputs

Strong outputs from this skill usually include:

• a focused code or config change
• a short explanation of the behavior change
• engineering reasoning for the chosen approach
• verification notes such as tests, build status, or manual checks
• remaining risks, edge cases, or follow-up suggestions

Non-goals

This skill is not the best fit for:

• purely visual frontend polish with no engineering depth
• broad AI workflow architecture or prompt-system design
• marketing copy, slides, or portfolio packaging as the primary task
• vague ideation without a concrete codebase or engineering target

Workflow

1. Orient quickly.

Read the entry files, stack files, and affected slice before proposing changes. Prefer rg, focused file reads, and config inspection over guessing.

1. Identify the engineering axis.

Classify the task as one or more of:

• business logic or bug fix
• API or controller contract
• persistence or SQL
• performance or caching
• frontend integration
• test gap
• project hardening for interview or production readiness

1. Apply the right depth.

For simple fixes, change the smallest safe surface. For medium tasks, explain the behavior change and verify with targeted commands. For bigger refactors, keep a clear boundary and avoid mixing unrelated cleanups.

1. Verify the result.

Whenever possible:

• run the narrowest relevant test
• compile or lint the touched module
• inspect SQL, API responses, or logs if behavior depends on data flow
• call out anything you could not verify

Examples

Example 1: Spring Boot bug fix

User request: > Help me fix this Spring Boot login bug. The controller returns 200 but the frontend still thinks auth failed.

Good use of this skill:

• inspect controller, service, DTO, and frontend caller together
• verify response shape and error handling contract
• patch the smallest safe surface
• explain the user-facing fix and verification status

Example 2: SQL and API cleanup

User request: > Clean up these REST APIs and optimize the recruitment list query.

Good use of this skill:

• review controller naming, request parameters, DTO boundaries, and mapper SQL
• identify N+1 or poor index usage
• tighten response consistency and query performance together only where they are coupled

Example 3: Interview-grade hardening

User request: > Make this campus recruitment recommendation system look more production-ready for interviews.

Good use of this skill:

• surface architecture strengths already present
• strengthen validation, error handling, test coverage, and API clarity
• avoid fake complexity and keep claims tied to real code evidence

Pairing With Other Skills

Use these when the task naturally narrows:

• code-reviewer for bug risk and regression review
• performance-profiler for slow interfaces, SQL, or rendering
• qa-expert for tests and edge cases
• api-design-reviewer for controller and contract cleanup
• database-designer for schema, index, and relation work
• observability-designer for logs, metrics, tracing, and alerting
• ast-grep and codegraph for large refactors or codebase understanding

Triggers

Common requests that should trigger this skill:

• "Help me fix this Spring Boot bug"
• "Refactor this Java backend"
• "Optimize this MySQL query"
• "Clean up these REST APIs"
• "Review this campus recruitment recommendation system"
• "Make this project more interview-ready"
