docker-compose

A guide for writing Docker Compose files, which describe how multiple containers such as an application, database, and cache run together. It includes configuration for networking, health checks, storage, and startup dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure multi-container web applications with services such as an app, PostgreSQL database, and Redis cache. It helps define builds, ports, environment variables, health checks, volumes, and networks.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually coordinate several containers and their settings. The documented examples also help avoid common problems with service readiness and persistent database data.

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

docker-compose scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d ago.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.

docker-compose is a skill published in the GitHub repository AIDotNet/MoYuCode (84 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 735 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
