Generate docker-compose.yml by scanning your project. An agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills.

  • Containerizing an existing app
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, What It Does, Usage Examples and Best Practices, plus 5 more sections
  • Runs TypeScript and JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls npx; needs OPENAI_API_KEY
  • Tasks that involve Containers

What it does

Compose Gen is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Generate docker-compose.yml by scanning your project. Use when containerizing an existing app.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files (for example `README.md`, `dist/cli.d.ts` and `dist/cli.js`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Containerizing an existing app
  • Tasks that involve Containers

Example prompts

  • “/compose-gen”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Docker
  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 script files (TypeScript and JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • x.com
    • lxgicstudios.substack.com
    • lxgicstudios.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPENAI_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Compose Gen loads about 589 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 233 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~589

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 233 words (~589 tokens).

“Writing docker-compose from scratch is tedious. This tool scans your project, detects services, and generates a working docker-compose.yml. Database, cache, your app, all wired up correctly.”
