docker

docker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from greedychipmunk/agent-skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,949 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for working with Docker, a tool that packages applications and their dependencies into isolated containers that run consistently across computers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building, running, debugging, and managing containers, images, Docker Compose files, networks, volumes, registries, and related Docker tools.
Why use it?
It helps avoid environment differences and makes container, image, and service changes safer to diagnose and manage.

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 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/doctor-docker.ps1, scripts/install.ps1, scripts/install.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.

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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Docker

Use this skill to keep Docker work deterministic, safe, and fast across Linux, macOS, and Windows Docker Desktop hosts.

Quick Start

  1. Run scripts/probe-docker.ps1 (Windows) or docker info / docker version (Linux/macOS) first for environment truth.
  2. Choose the smallest workflow that solves the request:
    • Core container/build/compose workflow in this file covers ~80% of tasks.
    • Load a reference file only when you need depth on a specific domain.
    • Reuse assets/templates/ starter packs before writing boilerplate from scratch.
  3. Default to read-only diagnostics before proposing mutating commands.
  4. Confirm before destructive commands (rm, prune, down -v, sandbox reset, builder/cache deletion).
  5. Prefer installed CLI behavior when docs and runtime diverge; note the caveat with concrete versions.

Intent Router (Progressive Disclosure)

Load only the reference file needed for the active request.

  • resources/install-and-setup.md — Installing Docker Desktop (macOS/Windows) or Docker Engine (Linux), and post-install configuration.
  • resources/core.md — Windows Desktop-first diagnostics, context management, Desktop status.
  • resources/containers.mdrun/exec/logs/inspect/debug/stats and crash triage.
  • resources/images.md — Dockerfile authoring, multi-stage patterns, Buildx/Bake.
  • resources/compose.md — Compose authoring and service orchestration.
  • resources/networking.md — bridge/overlay/macvlan, DNS, port publishing.
  • resources/volumes.md — named volumes, bind mounts, backup/restore patterns.
  • resources/registry.md — login/tag/push/pull and registry hygiene.
  • resources/swarm.md — swarm init, services, stacks, safe operations.
  • resources/troubleshooting.md — systematic debugging and error classification.
  • resources/security.md — Scout, SBOM, DHI, pass secrets, supply chain checks.
  • resources/ai-and-agents.md — Docker AI, agent/cagent, MCP toolkit, model runner, sandbox.
  • resources/cloud-and-remote.md — Offload, Build Cloud, remote builders and contexts.

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 greedychipmunk/agent-skills (17 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 1,949 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
