Docker Development

Category: Engineering Domain: Container Development & Optimization

Overview

The Docker Development skill provides automated analysis of Dockerfiles and docker-compose configurations. It identifies layer optimization opportunities, security issues, best practice violations, and compose service misconfigurations. Use this skill to enforce container standards across your team and catch issues before they reach production.

Clarify First

Before running the analysis, settle the inputs below. When one is missing or vague and would change the result, ask about it; when it wouldn't, use a sensible default and say which one you used.

• Target file: which Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml to analyze (sets --file and which tool runs).
• Focus: full analysis vs security-only, and whether to check port conflicts (sets --security-only/--check-ports).
• Output mode: human-readable vs JSON for CI (sets --format json and whether findings gate a pipeline).

Ask about the two or three inputs that matter most for this request, not the whole list. If the user wants a result straight away, produce it and state your assumptions at the top.
