docker-local-dev

docker-local-dev is a skill for Claude Code from thienanblog/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,861 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development setup for running an application and its supporting services in local Docker containers. It covers Docker Compose files, Dockerfiles, databases, and related services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, repair, or extend a local Docker setup, including its containers, databases, and service connections.
Why use it?
It helps keep local containers consistent while preventing development settings from being mixed with production deployment details.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-local-dev 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/db-test.sh, scripts/detect-images.sh, scripts/detect-network.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.

Docker Local Development

Run this skill in the main conversation. Do not spawn subagents, agent teams, or delegated parallel workers unless the user explicitly approves the proposed count and scope after being told that doing so can increase usage. Ask again before expanding an approved scope.

Guardrails

  • Design for local development. Keep production images, secrets, deployment, certificates, and runtime topology separate.
  • Inspect before asking questions or proposing services. Treat detection as evidence, not authority.
  • Ask only about unresolved choices that materially change the result. Group related questions and recommend a default; do not force a fixed questionnaire.
  • Preserve existing Docker files and unrelated working-tree changes. Show a semantic diff before replacing or materially restructuring a working stack. Never commit, reset, delete volumes, run migrations or seeds, or overwrite files unless the user authorized that action.
  • Generate only services the project uses or the user explicitly requests. A database is not mandatory when the project uses SQLite, a host service, or an external database.
  • Prefer direct foreground commands and one concern per service. Add Supervisor or PM2 only when the project already requires it or production-parity testing justifies it.
  • Prefer a stable top-level Compose name: and role-based service names. Do not set container_name by default because it prevents service scaling and creates cross-project collisions.
  • Select images by project constraints, team or production compatibility, trusted publisher, supported version, and architecture. Treat an already-downloaded image only as a tie-breaker. Avoid floating latest tags in generated files.
  • Publish only ports needed by the host. Bind local-only ports to 127.0.0.1 by default; keep databases, caches, SMTP, PHP-FPM, and internal APIs unexposed when possible.
  • Keep secrets out of committed files, generated documentation, command output, and frontend or proxy containers. Generate an ignored local env file plus a safe example when configuration is needed.

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.
