Description
docker-expert is an agent skill for Docker containerisation, covering container optimisation, security hardening, multi-stage builds, orchestration patterns and production deployment. It begins with an execution scope: inspect the Docker context, build commands, secrets and runtime side effects before running anything, and do not start an application or publish an image just to check syntax. Results are recorded separately for build, scan and runtime, and the absence of a tool is not counted as a pass. The skill also says when to hand over. Kubernetes orchestration, GitHub Actions pipelines that build containers, cloud-specific container services and complex database persistence are outside its focus, and it recommends the more specialised skill for each. Use it when you are writing or reviewing a Dockerfile, shrinking an image, hardening a container, or preparing a container for production. It is part of the sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 47,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 27,100 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk.…
