docker-management

docker-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from magnus919/hermes-profiles. It costs 28 tokens per session (894 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide to managing Docker-based applications, including Dockerfiles, Compose setups, container registries, networking, and production containers. Docker packages software and its dependencies into isolated containers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create multi-stage Docker builds, define services with Docker Compose, publish images, configure networking, and troubleshoot container runtimes.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common problems such as oversized images, stale build layers, unsafe defaults, and containers that are difficult to operate.

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

docker-management scanned grade C 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 10d 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.

Docker Management

When to Load

Load this skill when the task involves Dockerfile authoring, Compose stack design, container registry operations, multi-stage build optimization, production container patterns, or troubleshooting container runtimes.

Core Concepts

Dockerfiles

  • Multi-stage builds: Separate build-time dependencies from runtime image — FROM ... AS builder for compilation, final FROM for minimal runtime. Drastically reduces image size
  • Layer optimization: Each RUN, COPY, ADD creates a layer. Order from least-to-most frequently changing (system deps first, app code last). Combine RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y ... && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* in one RUN to avoid caching stale package lists
  • Best practices: Use specific base image tags (not :latest), COPY --chown for non-root user, HEALTHCHECK instruction, LABEL for metadata, EXPOSE for documentation, ENTRYPOINT + CMD pattern for flexible default commands, .dockerignore for build context size

Docker Compose

  • Service definition: image (build locally or pull), build (context + Dockerfile + args), ports, volumes, environment, depends_on, healthcheck, restart, networks
  • Production concerns: Named volumes (not bind mounts for persistent data), network isolation (separate frontend/backend/db networks), restart policies (unless-stopped), CPU/memory limits (deploy.resources), logging driver (json-file with rotation, or journald)
  • Multi-file compose: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml config for override layers, docker-compose.yml (base) + docker-compose.override.yml (dev, gitignored) by convention

Container Registries

  • Registry operations: docker tag, docker push, docker pull, authentication via docker login or credential helpers
  • Platforms: Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry (GHCR), GitLab Container Registry, Amazon ECR, Google Artifact Registry, Azure Container Registry, self-hosted (Harbor, distribution)
  • Tagging strategies: git-sha for traceability, semver for releases, latest as convenience pointer only; avoid :prod, :staging — use environment-specific values.yaml orchestration instead

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-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository magnus919/hermes-profiles (152 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 894 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
