create-docker-skill

Installation
SKILL.md

Follow the create-docker-skill skill workflow to scaffold a compliant agent skill that depends on containerized runtimes (Docker, Nextflow, HPC).

Inputs

  • $ARGUMENTS — optional skill name or use-case description. Omit to start with discovery.

Steps

  1. If $ARGUMENTS provides a skill name, use it to seed the discovery phase
  2. Follow the create-docker-skill phased workflow: determine container runtime and workflow type, gather environment check requirements, design pre-flight validation and subprocess execution scaffolding, then generate the skill directory
  3. Report the created skill path and Docker environment setup instructions

Output

Skill directory with SKILL.md containing pre-flight environment checks, subprocess execution patterns, security-override config, and Docker-aware error handling.

Edge Cases

  • If $ARGUMENTS is empty: begin with discovery — do not assume Docker is available
  • If Docker is not installed in the target environment: generate graceful degradation
  • If the workflow uses HPC or Nextflow instead of Docker: adapt scaffolding accordingly
