dockerfile-optimizer

A reviewer for Dockerfiles, the instruction files used to build Docker container images. It examines build speed, image size, security, and deployment reliability for Node.js, Python, and Go projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review or optimise Dockerfiles, detect package lockfiles, assess multi-stage builds and layer caching, check non-root users, and review .dockerignore files.
Why use it?
It identifies common causes of slow builds, oversized images, weak container security, and unstable deployments.

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 C, and why

dockerfile-optimizer scanned grade C 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/detect-stack.sh, tests/test-detect-stack.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.

What ships with it

58 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

dockerfile-optimizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository basejb/skills (5 stars, last pushed 10d ago), with no licence file. It adds 133 tokens to every session and 3,218 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
