docker-containerization

docker-containerization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 43 tokens per session (614 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to packaging applications in Docker containers, which bundle software and its dependencies into portable environments. It covers multi-stage builds, smaller images, security, and Docker Compose services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write Dockerfiles, containerize services, create development environments, and set up container-based CI/CD or microservices.
Why use it?
It helps applications run more consistently across development, testing, and deployment environments. It also reduces unnecessary files and limits container security risks.

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-containerization 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-pipeline.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- Run as root user

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Docker Containerization

Table of Contents

Overview

Build production-ready Docker containers following best practices for security, performance, and maintainability.

When to Use

  • Containerizing applications for deployment
  • Creating Dockerfiles for new services
  • Optimizing existing container images
  • Setting up development environments
  • Building CI/CD container pipelines
  • Implementing microservices

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Multi-stage build for Node.js application
# Stage 1: Build
FROM node:18-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

# Stage 2: Production
FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /app
# Copy only production dependencies and built files
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
COPY package*.json ./

# Security: Run as non-root user
RUN addgroup -g 1001 -S nodejs && adduser -S nodejs -u 1001
USER nodejs

EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Use official base images
  • Implement multi-stage builds
  • Run as non-root user
  • Use .dockerignore
  • Pin specific versions
  • Include health checks
  • Scan for vulnerabilities
  • Minimize layers
  • Use build caching effectively

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-containerization is a skill published in the GitHub repository aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts (338 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 614 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
