Install Docker Workflow

skills CLI
$ npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill docker-workflow -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install aiskillstore/marketplace docker-workflow --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/aiskillstore/marketplace.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/skills/bossjones/docker-workflow .claude/skills/docker-workflow && rm -rf skills-src

What it does

Docker Workflow is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Comprehensive Docker containerization workflow covering multi-stage builds, docker-compose orchestration, image optimization, debugging, and production best practices. Use when containerizing applications, setting up development environments, or deploying with Docker.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `examples/docker-compose.yml` and `scripts/docker_helper.sh`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Containerizing applications
  • Setting up development environments
  • Deploying with Docker

Example prompts

  • “/docker-workflow”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell
  • Docker

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Initial Setup
  2. Multi-Stage Dockerfile
  3. Docker Compose Setup
  4. Build and Run
  5. Debugging and Troubleshooting
  6. Optimization
  7. Production Deployment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • docker
    • docker-compose
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Docker Workflow loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 502 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:44
    .env
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:55
    - Exclude sensitive files (.env, credentials)

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 502 words (~2,360 tokens).

“Docker containerization streamlines development, testing, and deployment by packaging applications with their dependencies into portable, reproducible containers. This skill guides you through professional Docker workflows from development to production.”

Can I use Docker Workflow in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill docker-workflow -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/docker-workflow, .gemini/skills/docker-workflow, .github/skills/docker-workflow and .opencode/skills/docker-workflow in your project.

What does Docker Workflow need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Docker Workflow needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (docker, docker-compose and pip). Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; A Bash shell; Docker.

Does Docker Workflow access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use docker and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Docker Workflow safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Docker Workflow use?

No licence was found for Docker Workflow or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Docker Workflow use?

About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
