What it does

Docker Deployment is an agent skill from cohen-liel/hivemind. Docker, docker-compose, and deployment configuration best practices. Use when writing Dockerfiles, docker-compose.yml, CI/CD configs, or setting up any containerized deployment.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers and Deployment. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: One prompt. A full AI engineering team. Go lie on the couch. 🧠. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Writing Dockerfiles
Docker-compose.yml
Setting up any containerized deployment

Example prompts

“/docker-deployment”

Requirements

Python 3
Docker
A credential in SECRET_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 918dd9b. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are dockerfile, yaml, bash and makefile).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- DB_PASSWORD
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD
- SECRET_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Docker Deployment loads about 674 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 64 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~674

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Docker Deployment Patterns

Production Dockerfile (Python)

dockerfile

FROM python:3.12-slim AS base
WORKDIR /app
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

FROM base AS builder
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir uv

RUN useradd -m appuser && chown -R appuser /app
USER appuser
EXPOSE 8000
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=5s --retries=3 \
  CMD curl -f http://localhost:8000/health || exit 1
CMD ["uvicorn", "app.main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8000", "--workers", "2"]

docker-compose.yml (Development)

yaml

services:
  app:
    build: .
    ports: ["8000:8000"]
    volumes: ["./:/app"]  # hot reload in dev
    env_file: [.env]
    depends_on:
      db: { condition: service_healthy }
      redis: { condition: service_healthy }
    command: uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload

  db:
    image: postgres:16-alpine
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: ${DB_NAME}
      POSTGRES_USER: ${DB_USER}
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
    volumes: [postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data]
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U ${DB_USER}"]
      interval: 5s
      retries: 5

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"]
      interval: 5s

.env.example (Always provide this)

bash

# Database
DB_HOST=db
DB_PORT=5432
DB_NAME=myapp
DB_USER=myapp
DB_PASSWORD=changeme_in_production

# Redis
REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379/0

# App
SECRET_KEY=changeme_in_production
DEBUG=false
ALLOWED_ORIGINS=http://localhost:3000

Makefile

makefile

.PHONY: dev build test migrate

dev:
	docker-compose up --build

build:
	docker-compose build

test:
	docker-compose run --rm app pytest

migrate:
	docker-compose run --rm app alembic upgrade head

shell:
	docker-compose exec app bash

Rules

Multi-stage builds: keep final image small (no build tools)
Never run as root — create appuser
Health checks on ALL services
Never hardcode secrets — always env vars
.env.example with ALL required vars (no values)
Volumes for persistent data (DB, uploads)
Separate docker-compose.override.yml for dev overrides
Pin image versions (postgres:16, not postgres:latest)
