arn-infra-containerize

arn-infra-containerize is a skill for Claude Code from AppsVortex/arness. It costs 127 tokens per session (2,741 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A container setup generator that creates Dockerfiles, Docker Compose configurations, and .dockerignore files for an application. It adapts them to the project's technology and structure, then checks them for security issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to package an application into containers for local development or deployment, including applications made of multiple services.
Why use it?
It removes the need to design container files from scratch and helps catch common security problems before the files are saved.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

arn-infra-containerize 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Arness Infra Containerize

Generate production-ready Dockerfiles, docker-compose configurations, and .dockerignore files for the application. This skill produces security-audited, multi-stage container configurations adapted to the application's technology stack and topology.

This skill reads the application context (codebase patterns, architecture, technology stack) based on the project topology, invokes the arn-infra-specialist agent for container configuration generation, and the arn-infra-security-auditor agent for security review. All generated files are presented for user approval before being written.

Prerequisites

Read ## Arness from the project's CLAUDE.md. If no ## Arness section exists or Arness Infra fields are missing, inform the user: "Arness Infra is not configured for this project yet. Run /arn-infra-wizard to get started — it will set everything up automatically." Do not proceed without it.

Check the Deferred field. If Deferred: yes, inform the user: "Infrastructure is in deferred mode. Containerization is not available until infrastructure is fully configured. Run /arn-infra-assess to un-defer." Stop.

Extract:

  • Project topology -- how to resolve the application project (monorepo, separate-repo, infra-only)
  • Application path -- path to the application project root
  • Experience level -- derived from user profile. Read ~/.arness/user-profile.yaml (or .claude/arness-profile.local.md if it exists — project override takes precedence). Apply the experience derivation mapping from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/arn-infra-ensure-config/references/experience-derivation.md. If no profile exists, check for legacy Experience level in ## Arness as fallback.
  • Providers -- informs container registry selection and platform-specific optimizations
  • Tooling manifest -- path to check for Docker/container tools availability

Workflow

Step 1: Resolve Application Context

Resolve the application project based on topology to understand the technology stack, services, and dependencies.

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.
