docker

Context skill for Docker best practices — activates automatically when Dockerfiles or Docker Compose config are detected, no slash command needed.

Requirements

• docker — Docker installation

Commands

This is a context skill. It activates automatically when a Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, or dockerfiles/ directory is detected. No slash command is needed.

Trigger conditions

The skill loads when any of the following are present:

• A Dockerfile or dockerfiles/ directory in the project
• docker-compose.yml or compose.yml in the project
• User mentions Docker, docker build, docker compose, COMPOSE_BAKE, or dev containers
