claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/docker-swarm/SKILL.md

docker-swarm is a skill for Claude Code from TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,692 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Deployment guidance for running Docker Compose applications as Docker Swarm stacks across multiple machines. It explains differences between local, single-machine containers and Swarm's replaceable containers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing or reviewing stack files, deployment settings, overlay networks, and applications that must keep data, configuration, and logs outside replaceable containers.
Why use it?
It prevents silent deployment problems when Swarm ignores some Compose settings or recreates containers with new addresses and empty filesystems.

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-swarm 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Docker Swarm: Single Node to Multi-Node

Compose and Swarm read the same file and interpret it differently. The trap is that Swarm fails silently: the stack deploys, containers start, and something just doesn't work the way it did locally. Write the compose file for the multi-node world from day one and the single-node case still works.

The mental model: a container is a process, not a computer

Swarm tears down and recreates containers constantly, on every update, node failure, scale, and rebalance. The new container has a new ID, a new IP, a new hostname, and a blank filesystem. Treat the container as disposable and keep all state outside it: a database or Redis for sessions, a named volume or object storage for files, env or Docker secrets/configs for configuration, stdout/stderr for logs. The test: if Swarm kills this container right now and starts a new one, does the app work identically? If not, state is leaking into the container.

Directives Swarm silently ignores

docker stack deploy reads these and skips them with no error. If you relied on one locally, you debug for hours before realizing Swarm never read it.

build (Swarm only runs pre-built registry images), container_name (names collide with replicas), depends_on (no startup ordering, services start in parallel), links, restart (use deploy.restart_policy), networks.ipv4_address / ipv6_address, network_mode, cap_add / cap_drop, devices, tmpfs, extra_hosts, sysctls, security_opt, cgroup_parent, userns_mode. Capabilities, sysctls, and security options are set at the engine level on each node instead.

Directives that change behavior in Swarm

  • ports publish through the routing mesh: the port opens on every node, and traffic to any node is routed to a container wherever it runs. Publish the container port only (- "61339") and let the mesh assign a host port, your reverse proxy reaches the service by name and never needs to know the host port.
  • volumes: named volumes work everywhere; bind mounts to host paths break the moment a container is scheduled on a different node, because that path doesn't exist there. Use named volumes for data and Docker configs/secrets for files.
  • networks: Compose defaults to bridge (single host). Swarm needs overlay (multi-host). A bridge network in a stack means services can't talk across nodes.

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-swarm is a skill published in the GitHub repository TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit (337 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 1,692 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
