copilot-kit docker.instructions.md

A set of instructions for building and running applications with Docker. Docker packages an application and its dependencies into isolated containers that can run consistently across environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing Dockerfiles or Docker Compose configurations, especially for multi-stage builds, caching, security, persistence, networking, and health checks.
Why use it?
It encourages repeatable builds, smaller production images, safer container settings, and better handling of dependencies and secrets.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

copilot-kit docker.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

📋 Dockerfile Best Practices

Multi-Stage Builds

# Build stage
FROM node:18-alpine AS build
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

# Production stage
FROM node:18-alpine AS production
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /app/dist ./dist
COPY --from=build /app/node_modules ./node_modules
USER node
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]

Layer Caching

  1. Copy dependency files first (package.json)
  2. Install dependencies
  3. Copy source code last
  4. Minimize layers (combine RUN commands)

🔐 Security

  • Always use non-root user (USER node)
  • Use specific version tags, not latest
  • Don't store secrets in images
  • Use multi-stage to exclude build tools

📦 .dockerignore

node_modules
.git
.env
*.log
dist
coverage

🔧 Docker Compose

  • Use named volumes for persistence
  • Set resource limits
  • Use health checks
  • Separate networks for frontend/backend

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
