What it does
docker/skills is a collection of skills that teach an agent to work with Docker products: Dockerfile and image builds, Compose patterns, Sandboxes, Docker Agent. A separate cross-product skill `docker-destructive-guardrails` asks for confirmation before irreversible actions. Installation: `npx skills add docker/skills` with the flags `--skill docker-compose-patterns` or `--all`. There are plugins for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and a Gemini CLI extension. Some skills are marked experimental. Version 0.3.1, Apache-2.0 license.
Who it is for. For developers and DevOps engineers who ask an agent to build images, write Compose and work with Docker sandboxes.
Good fit when
- You need correct Dockerfiles and image builds from an agent
- You need Compose patterns for typical stacks
- You want the agent to ask before deleting containers and volumes
Not a fit when
- You need an MCP server for Docker: here are text skills
- You need only stable skills: some are experimental
Example request
Write a Dockerfile for a Node.js service with a multi-stage build and show what I must confirm before deleting old imagesLimitations
The skills are text on their own, but the agent runs docker under your rights by them: containers, volumes and networks on your machine. The docker-destructive-guardrails skill asks for confirmation before irreversible actions but does not replace your control. Some skills are experimental. Access is minimal.
How to disable. Remove the skills with your skill manager command or the folders from the agent's folder, the plugin through the plugin manager.
