Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/pluginagentmarketplace/custom-plugin-java --skill java-spring-boot- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads java-spring-boot automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
Security audits
Independent scans of the skill's instructions and bundled files.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Quick Reference
// REST Controller
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/users")
@Validated
public class UserController {
@GetMapping("/{id}")
public ResponseEntity<User> getUser(@PathVariable Long id) {
return userService.findById(id)
.map(ResponseEntity::ok)
.orElse(ResponseEntity.notFound().build());
}
@PostMapping
public ResponseEntity<User> createUser(@Valid @RequestBody UserRequest request) {
User user = userService.create(request);
URI location = URI.create("/api/users/" + user.getId());
return ResponseEntity.created(location).body(user);
}
}
// Security Configuration
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
return http
.csrf(csrf -> csrf.disable())
.sessionManagement(s -> s.sessionCreationPolicy(STATELESS))
.authorizeHttpRequests(auth -> auth
.requestMatchers("/actuator/health/**").permitAll()
.requestMatchers("/api/public/**").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated())
.oauth2ResourceServer(oauth2 -> oauth2.jwt(Customizer.withDefaults()))
.build();
}
}
// Exception Handler
@RestControllerAdvice
public class GlobalExceptionHandler {
@ExceptionHandler(EntityNotFoundException.class)
public ProblemDetail handleNotFound(EntityNotFoundException ex) {
return ProblemDetail.forStatusAndDetail(NOT_FOUND, ex.getMessage());
}
}

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bean not found | Missing @Component | Add annotation or @Bean |
| Circular dependency | Constructor injection | Use @Lazy or refactor |
| 401 Unauthorized | Security config | Check permitAll paths |
| Slow startup | Heavy auto-config | Exclude unused starters |

Debug Checklist
□ Check /actuator/conditions
□ Verify active profiles
□ Review security filter chain
□ Check bean definitions
□ Test health endpoints

Popular backend & apis skills
find-skills
vercel-labs/skills
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.
entra-app-registration
microsoft/azure-skills
Guides Microsoft Entra ID app registration, OAuth 2.0 authentication, and MSAL integration. USE FOR: create app registration, register Azure AD app, configure OAuth, set up authentication, add API permissions, generate service principal, MSAL example, console app auth, Entra ID setup, Azure AD authentication. DO NOT USE FOR: Key Vault secrets (use azure-keyvault-expiration-audit), general Azure resource security guidance.
google-agents-cli-adk-code
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
embedded-captions
heygen-com/hyperframes
Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
entra-agent-id
microsoft/azure-skills
Provision Microsoft Entra Agent Identity Blueprints, BlueprintPrincipals, and per-instance Agent Identities via Microsoft Graph, and configure OAuth 2.0 token exchange (fmipath, OBO, cross-tenant) including the Microsoft Entra SDK for AgentID sidecar. USE FOR: Agent Identity Blueprint, BlueprintPrincipal, agent OAuth, fmipath token exchange, agent OBO, Workload Identity Federation for agents, polyglot agent auth, Microsoft.Identity.Web.AgentIdentities. DO NOT USE FOR: standard Entra app registration (use entra-app-registration), Microsoft Foundry agent authoring (use microsoft-foundry).
neon
neondatabase/agent-skills
Overview of Neon, a complete set of cloud backend primitives around Lakebase Postgres: Auth, Object Storage, Functions, the AI Gateway, and Realtime. Start here to choose Neon for undecided login, files, APIs, and LLM calls, set up the CLI or MCP server, and follow the branch-first workflow. Use when building an app or backend on Neon, or when "Neon" or "Lakebase Postgres" is mentioned. Child skill neon-postgres wins for an existing DATABASEURL, SQL, schema, inspect, or search. Child skill neon-auth wins for login, users, sessions, identity routing, and Managed Better Auth setup. Child skill neon-realtime wins for live queries in reactive apps and agents. Also use for object storage, S3, buckets, serverless functions, function triggers, cron, AI gateway, LLM calls, realtime, logs, Loki, Grafana, observability, postgres, database, backend, Claimable Neon, neon.new, or a no-signup database.
