Micronaut Data Guidelines
Apply Micronaut Data patterns for relational repositories and safe SQL.
What is covered in this Skill?
- @MappedEntity, @Id, @GeneratedValue, @MappedProperty for column mapping
- @Repository interfaces extending CrudRepository / PageableRepository
- Derived finder methods and @Query with named parameters
- @Transactional on @Singleton services (readOnly where appropriate)
- Page and Pageable for list endpoints
- DTO/interface projections for read-heavy queries
- @Version for optimistic locking
- Integration tests: @MicronautTest + TestPropertyProvider + Testcontainers
Scope: Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and good/bad code examples.
Constraints
Compile before persistence changes; verify the full build after.
- 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
- EDGE CASE: If the user goal is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before editing files or running project-wide commands
- EDGE CASE: If required context, files, credentials, or tools are missing, report the blocker explicitly and ask whether to proceed with setup or fallback guidance
- EDGE CASE: If requested changes conflict with project constraints or safety boundaries, explain the conflict and ask for user confirmation on the preferred trade-off
When to use this skill
- Review or implement Micronaut Data repositories and entities
- Add transactions, pagination, or projections in Micronaut persistence layer
- Model Micronaut Data entities and repositories
- Review Micronaut Data transactions and pageable queries
- Improve projections or optimistic locking with Micronaut Data
Workflow
- Read reference and assess project context
Read references/512-frameworks-micronaut-data.md and inspect the current project setup before proposing changes.
- Gather scope and decide target improvements
Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply.
- Apply framework-aligned changes
Implement or refactor configuration/code following the reference patterns and project conventions.
- Run verification and report results
Execute appropriate build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions.
