Quarkus — Kafka messaging
SkillCommunicationUse when you need Kafka messaging in Quarkus with SmallRye Reactive Messaging — including channel/topic design, build-time Jackson serialization, typed @Channel/@Incoming, ack/failure strategies, retries/DLQ, idempotency, Dev Services, and Testcontainers integration tests. This should trigger for requests such as Add Kafka in Quarkus; Review Reactive Messaging consumers; Improve failure handling for Quarkus Kafka; Configure Quarkus Reactive Messaging Kafka channels; Add Quarkus Kafka failure strategy or DLQ handling.

What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by jabrena/plinth in skills/414-frameworks-quarkus-kafka/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Apply Quarkus Kafka guidance with concrete examples for design, implementation, and error handling.
Constraints
Compile before messaging refactors; verify after changes.
- MANDATORY: Run
./mvnw compileormvn compilebefore applying any change - SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verifyormvn clean verifyafter applying improvements - BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed rules and examples
When to use this skill
- Add Kafka in Quarkus
- Review Quarkus Reactive Messaging consumers/producers
- Improve retries, dead-letter handling, or idempotency in Quarkus Kafka
- Configure Quarkus Reactive Messaging Kafka channels
- Add Quarkus Kafka failure strategy or DLQ handling
Workflow
- Read reference and assess project context
Read references/414-frameworks-quarkus-kafka.md and inspect current messaging setup before proposing changes.
- Gather scope and decide target improvements
Identify delivery semantics and resilience goals to define safe improvements.
- Apply framework-aligned changes
