docker-compose-setup

docker-compose-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 46 tokens per session (2,544 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for running applications made of several Docker containers, such as a web app, database, cache, or worker, with Docker Compose.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or manage local and production Compose configurations for multi-container applications.
Why use it?
It helps keep service settings, connections, storage, health checks, and environment values defined consistently in one setup.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is - ./nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-compose-setup scanned grade A 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 Compose Setup

This skill enables the agent to design and configure multi-container application stacks using Docker Compose. The agent can orchestrate services including web servers, databases, caches, background workers, and reverse proxies with proper networking, volume management, health checks, and environment-specific overrides. The agent understands both development and production configurations and can generate compose files that follow Docker best practices.

Workflow

  1. Analyze the Application Stack: The agent reviews the project's architecture to identify all required services and their dependencies. This includes the primary application container, databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), caches (Redis, Memcached), message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka), background workers, and reverse proxies (Nginx, Traefik). The agent maps inter-service dependencies to determine startup order and health check requirements.

  2. Define Services and Images: For each service, the agent specifies the Docker image or build context, exposed ports, environment variables, and resource constraints. Application services typically use a build directive pointing to a local Dockerfile, while infrastructure services use official images with pinned version tags. The agent avoids using latest tags in production to ensure reproducible deployments.

  3. Configure Networking and Service Discovery: The agent creates named Docker networks to isolate traffic between service tiers (e.g., a frontend network for the proxy and app, a backend network for the app and database). Services communicate using their compose service names as DNS hostnames, eliminating the need for hardcoded IP addresses.

  4. Set Up Volumes and Persistence: The agent defines named volumes for data that must persist across container restarts, such as database storage and file uploads. For development, bind mounts map the host source code into containers to enable hot reloading. The agent ensures that volume permissions and ownership are configured correctly for the container's runtime user.

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.
