docker-knowledge-patch

A reference guide for Docker, the software used to package and run applications in containers. It covers Docker Engine, networking, images, Dockerfiles, Compose, Buildx, and related components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Docker configuration, API calls, parsers, runtime behavior, networking, image builds, or Compose workflows.
Why use it?
Docker has separate versions and detailed output formats, so small compatibility assumptions can cause broken builds, deployments, or automation.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-knowledge-patch 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 2d 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.

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.

Docker Knowledge Patch

Use this patch when work touches Docker Engine runtime, networking, images, the Engine API, Go integrations, Buildx, BuildKit, Dockerfile, or Compose.

How to use this patch

  1. Identify the component and read its complete topic reference before changing configuration, API calls, parsers, or automation.
  2. Check the installed daemon, CLI, API, Buildx, BuildKit, Dockerfile frontend, and Compose versions that matter to the task. They do not share one version.
  3. For Engine work, distinguish a fresh installation from an upgrade and check both the daemon version and negotiated API version.
  4. Treat output formats as interfaces: request an explicit CLI format and parse event, progress, and Compose streams according to their record framing.
  5. Prefer the project's manifests, configuration, code, tests, and observed behavior whenever they disagree with compatibility guidance.

Files

What ships with it

9 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.

docker-knowledge-patch is a skill published in the GitHub repository Nevaberry/nevaberry-plugins (24 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 2,333 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
