What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when you need to design or implement Kafka messaging in Spring Boot — including topic design, producer/consumer implementation, JSON serialization with Boot factory customizers, Testcontainers `@ServiceConnection` integration tests, retries and dead-letter topics, idempotency, and error handling. This should trigger for requests such as Add Kafka in Spring Boot; Review Spring Kafka consumers; Improve retries and DLT in Spring Kafka; Configure Spring Kafka topics serializers or listener containers; Add Spring Kafka dead-letter topic handling.

Spring Boot — Kafka messaging

Apply Spring Kafka guidance with concrete examples for design, implementation, and error handling.

Constraints

Compile before messaging refactors; verify after changes.

MANDATORY: Run ./mvnw compile or mvn compile before applying any change
SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately
VERIFY: Run ./mvnw clean verify or mvn clean verify after applying improvements
BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed rules and examples

When to use this skill

Add Kafka in Spring Boot
Review Spring Kafka consumers/producers
Improve retries, dead-letter topics, or idempotency in Spring Kafka
Configure Spring Kafka topics serializers or listener containers
Add Spring Kafka dead-letter topic handling

Workflow

Read reference and assess project context

Read references/314-frameworks-spring-kafka.md and inspect current messaging setup before proposing changes.

Gather scope and decide target improvements

Identify reliability and throughput goals and define the minimum safe set of changes.

Apply framework-aligned changes

Implement/refactor Spring Kafka configuration, producer/consumer logic, and failure handling.

Run verification and report results

Execute build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and follow-up actions.
