Sync Data Relational

Sync Spring Data Relational Changes

This skill helps synchronize spring-data-relational version updates to the spring-jdbc-plus project.

When to Use

• When a new spring-data-relational version is released
• When asked to "sync data-relational changes"
• When asked to "update to spring-data-relational X.X.X"
• When analyzing what needs to be updated for a version upgrade

What This Skill Does

1. Fetches Version Diff: Retrieves changes between two spring-data-relational versions from GitHub
2. Analyzes Changes: Categorizes changes into:
   • API changes (new methods, deprecated methods, signature changes)
   • Dependency upgrades
   • Bug fixes
   • Documentation updates
3. Identifies Impact: Searches the current codebase for affected code
4. Provides Action Items: Lists specific files and changes needed

Instructions

Step 1: Determine Versions

1. Check gradle.properties to find current springDataBomVersion
2. Determine the spring-data-relational version from the BOM version
   • Spring Data BOM 2025.0.5 → spring-data-relational 3.5.5
   • Spring Data BOM 2025.0.6 → spring-data-relational 3.5.6
3. Ask user for target version if not specified

Step 2: Fetch Changes from GitHub

Use WebFetch to get the comparison from: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-relational/compare/{old-version}...{new-version}

Example: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-relational/compare/3.5.5...3.5.6

Step 3: Analyze Changes

Categorize the changes:

Critical Changes (High Priority):

• API deprecations
• Breaking changes
• Signature changes in methods we override/use

Important Changes (Medium Priority):

• New features we might want to adopt
• Bug fixes that affect our code
• Dependency upgrades

Informational (Low Priority):

• Documentation updates
• Internal refactoring
• Minor bug fixes

Step 4: Search Current Codebase

For each critical/important change, search the codebase:

1. Use Grep to find usages of:

   • Deprecated classes/methods
   • Changed API signatures
   • Affected dependencies

2. Focus on these directories:

   • spring-data-jdbc-plus-support/
   • spring-data-jdbc-plus-sql/
   • spring-data-jdbc-plus-repository/
   • spring-boot-autoconfigure-data-jdbc-plus/

Step 5: Generate Report

Create a structured report with:

## Spring Data Relational {old} → {new} Upgrade Analysis

### Summary
- Total commits: X
- Files changed: Y
- Critical changes: Z

### Critical Changes Requiring Action

#### 1. [Change Category - e.g., API Deprecation]
**Upstream Change**: Description of what changed in spring-data-relational
**Impact**: Files in our codebase that are affected
**Action Required**: What needs to be done

[List specific files with line numbers if found]

### Important Changes to Review

[Same format as above]

### Dependency Updates

[List dependency version changes]

### Low Priority / Informational

[Brief list of other changes]

### Next Steps

1. [ ] Review critical changes
2. [ ] Update affected code
3. [ ] Update gradle.properties if needed
4. [ ] Run tests
5. [ ] Update documentation

Step 6: Provide Actionable Next Steps

• Create TODO items for each required change
• Suggest specific code modifications
• Highlight test cases that should be added/updated

Examples

User: "Sync data-relational changes from 3.5.5 to 3.5.6" Skill:

1. Fetches https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-relational/compare/3.5.5...3.5.6
2. Identifies: API deprecations, dependency upgrades
3. Searches codebase for affected code
4. Generates report with action items

User: "What needs to be updated for spring-data-relational 3.5.6?" Skill:

1. Checks current version in gradle.properties
2. Compares with 3.5.6
3. Provides analysis and action items

Important Notes

• Always use TodoWrite to track the analysis tasks
• Focus on changes that affect the core modules (support, sql, repository)
• Consider backward compatibility when suggesting changes
• Highlight security-related changes with high priority
• Note any changes to transitive dependencies that might affect our users
