What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the initial setup of a multi-module hexagonal architecture project using Gradle. It ensures consistent dependency management, strict module isolation, and integrates quality assurance tools from day one, providing a robust and maintainable foundation for any new project.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-Module Hexagonal Structure: Designs a 6-production module structure (domain, application, adapter-in, adapter-out, bootstrap) enforcing unidirectional dependencies for clear separation of concerns.
• Version Catalog Management: Configures libs.versions.toml for centralized, consistent dependency versioning, preventing version conflicts and simplifying upgrades.
• Integrated QA Tools: Sets up Checkstyle, SpotBugs, PMD (for Law of Demeter), JaCoCo (for code coverage), and Spotless (for code formatting) to maintain high code quality automatically.
• Zero-Tolerance Rules: Enforces "Domain Pure Java" (no external dependencies), "No Lombok," and ArchUnit tests for module dependency validation, ensuring architectural integrity.
• Use Case: When starting any new project, use this skill to generate the entire project structure, Gradle configuration, and QA setup. This ensures a robust, maintainable, and high-quality foundation, allowing your team to focus immediately on business logic.

Quick Start

Initialize a new multi-module Spring Boot project with hexagonal architecture, Gradle Version Catalog, and all QA tools configured.
