A Claude Code template for Spring Boot applications has been published on GitHub, designed to help developers generate high-quality Java/Spring Boot code using Claude Code. The template includes a structured CLAUDE.md file, nine specialized skills (covering Spring Boot patterns, JPA, security, testing, etc.), and multiple subagents (java-architect, spring-boot-engineer, devops-engineer, etc.). The post explains the motivation for creating community-maintained templates, walks through the CLAUDE.md configuration with best practices like plan mode, self-improvement loops, and verification steps, and demonstrates generating a full Spring Boot REST API with PostgreSQL, JWT/OAuth2, Testcontainers tests, CircleCI pipeline, Dockerfile, and Kubernetes/Skaffold manifests from a short prompt — producing ~3700 lines of code.
