docker

docker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (436 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A system for packaging an application and its dependencies into portable containers. It includes Dockerfiles for building images and Compose for running several related containers together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to containerize applications, run multi-service environments locally, create smaller production images with multi-stage builds, and use the same package in CI/CD.
Why use it?
It makes development, testing, and deployment environments more consistent across a developer's machine, CI, and production.

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

docker scanned grade B 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.

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 rootmediumPrivilege escalation

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

- **Don't run as Root**: Use `USER node` or create a specific user in the Dockerfile.

What it actually says

Docker

Docker standardizes software delivery by packaging apps into containers. In 2025, Docker emphasizes BuildKit for high-performance builds and Docker Scout for supply chain security.

When to Use

  • Local Development: Replicate production environments locally (docker compose).
  • CI/CD: Standard unit of deployment for 99% of modern pipelines.
  • Legacy Migration: Wrap old apps in containers to extend their life.

Quick Start (BuildKit)

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
FROM node:22-alpine AS base
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./

FROM base AS deps
RUN npm ci

FROM base AS release
COPY --from=deps /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY . .
CMD ["node", "index.js"]

Core Concepts

BuildKit

The modern build engine (default in 2025). Features concurrent build steps, secret mounting, and cache exports. DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build .

Multi-stage Builds

Keep images tiny by separating "build" environment (compilers, SDKs) from "runtime" environment (minimal OS).

Docker Compose

Define multi-container apps. docker compose up -d --watch (New watch mode syncs files continuously).

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use docker init: Generates best-practice Dockerfiles and .dockerignore for your language.
  • Use Distroless / Alpine: Minimize attack surface.
  • Scan with Docker Scout: Check for CVEs early in the pipeline.

Don't:

  • Don't run as Root: Use USER node or create a specific user in the Dockerfile.
  • Don't leak secrets: Use --mount=type=secret during build, never COPY .env.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 436 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B 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.
