  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by rrezartprebreza on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Spring Cloud Gateway AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills/tree/main/skills/spring-boot-3/spring-cloud-gateway
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills.git /tmp/spring-boot-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/spring-boot-skills/skills/spring-boot-3/spring-cloud-gateway .claude/skills/spring-cloud-gateway
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Spring Cloud Gateway in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Spring Cloud Gateway on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Spring Cloud Gateway is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Spring Cloud Gateway

Keep the gateway an edge adapter. Do not move domain workflows into filters.

Compatibility first

  • Select the Spring Cloud release train compatible with the exact Boot 3 minor.
  • Import the Spring Cloud BOM and omit individual Spring Cloud dependency versions.
  • Prefer the reactive gateway unless the project deliberately uses the MVC variant.

Route rules

  • Use stable route IDs and explicit predicates.
  • Strip untrusted forwarding, identity, and internal headers at the edge.
  • Add correlation headers only after removing client-supplied values.
  • Keep path rewriting and host changes visible in route configuration.
  • Set connect and response timeouts globally, with narrow route overrides.

Security and resilience

  • Authenticate at the edge and authorize again in downstream services.
  • Relay tokens only to intended audiences.
  • Rate-limit by trusted identity or API key, not an unverified header.
  • Retry only idempotent operations and only before response commitment.
  • Use circuit breakers for failing dependencies; never hide sustained failure with unlimited retries.

Testing and operations

  • Test predicates, filters, header removal, status mapping, and timeouts.
  • Use WireMock or a containerized upstream for integration tests.
  • Emit route ID, outcome, latency, and upstream metrics with bounded tags.

Examples

  • See examples/good-routes.yml and examples/bad-routes.yml.

Gotchas

  • Agent trusts X-User-Id from the public request - derive identity after authentication.
  • Agent retries POST requests by default - retry only operations proven idempotent.
  • Agent adds business orchestration to a gateway filter - keep domain logic downstream.
  • Agent omits response timeouts - stalled upstreams can exhaust gateway resources.
  • Agent mixes incompatible Spring Cloud and Boot versions - use the official compatibility matrix.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Spring Cloud Gateway AI skill do?

Use when building or changing a Spring Cloud Gateway on Spring Boot 3. Covers route design, authentication, header hygiene, rate limiting, retries, timeouts, observability, and testing.

Why use Spring Cloud Gateway on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Spring Cloud Gateway is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Spring Cloud Gateway in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills/tree/main/skills/spring-boot-3/spring-cloud-gateway. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Spring Cloud Gateway?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Spring Cloud Gateway?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Spring Cloud Gateway with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Spring Cloud Gateway AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by rrezartprebreza under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
