generate-dockerfile

generate-dockerfile is a skill for Claude Code from Azure/containerization-assist. It costs 90 tokens per session (7,443 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A Dockerfile generator for packaging one application module into a container. Docker containers bundle an application with the files and runtime it needs to run consistently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to containerize Java, .NET, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, PHP, or Ruby modules for production or development.
Why use it?
It helps create a production Dockerfile with suitable base images, dependencies, environment settings, and security practices. It also accounts for the programming language, framework, platform, and existing Docker setup.

  • high Tool Misuse · line 258
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

  • high Tool Misuse · line 258
    Tool calls are chained to bypass individual safety checks or escalate capabilities beyond what any single tool call would allow.
    Fix: Limit tool chaining depth and validate the output of each tool before passing it to the next. Require explicit user approval for multi-step chains.
  • high Privilege Escalation · line 295
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 431
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
  • medium Output Handling · line 481
    Output size or generation rate is not bounded. Unbounded output enables denial-of-service through resource exhaustion, log flooding, or context-window stuffing.
    Fix: Set explicit limits on output length, generation count, and rate. Use max_tokens and truncation to prevent unbounded output.

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 B, and why

generate-dockerfile scanned grade B with 2 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 1mo 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.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

`apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends <pkgs> && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*`.

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 505 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Dockerfile

Produce a production-quality, secure Dockerfile (or enhancement plan for an existing one) for a single module. The output is a complete Dockerfile that the user can write to disk — not a description of one.

Inputs

Field Required Description
modulePath yes Absolute path of the module to containerize (one of the modules from analyze-repo).
language yes java | dotnet | javascript | typescript | python | go | rust | php | ruby.
languageVersion recommended E.g. 21, 8.0, 20, 3.11. Substituted into the base image tag.
framework optional E.g. spring-boot, express, next, django, flask, asp.net-core, gin.
environment optional production (default) or development.
targetPlatform optional linux/amd64 (default) or linux/arm64.
detectedDependencies optional Used to choose extra apt/apk packages (e.g. native modules).
detectedEnvVars optional List from analyze-repo. Used to add ENV instructions for config/database vars and to WARN about secret-classified ones (never bake secrets in).
existingDockerfile optional If a Dockerfile is already at <modulePath>/Dockerfile, read its content and follow the Enhancement path instead of the Generation path.

Prerequisite: analyze-repo

This skill needs language, framework, detectedDependencies, and detectedEnvVars from the analyze-repo skill. If you don't already have that output for <modulePath> from earlier in this conversation, follow the analyze-repo skill against <modulePath> first, then come back.

Decision: generate or enhance?

  1. Check if <modulePath>/Dockerfile exists.
  2. If no → Generation path (Step G1–G4 below).
  3. If yes → read the file, run Dockerfile analysis (Step E1), then Enhancement path (Step E2–E4).

Generation path

G1 — Choose build strategy

Use multi-stage if any of these:

generate-dockerfile is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/containerization-assist (43 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 7,443 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
