Practical overview

When it fits

Use the repository when an AI coding agent is helping with Docker-related development and you want task-specific, reusable instructions. Choose a skill based on the Docker product and work at hand; the repository provides ordering guidance when tasks span multiple skills.

Who it is for

  • Developers who use coding agents on Dockerized projects.
  • Teams looking to give agents reusable guidance for Dockerfiles, image builds, or Compose configurations.
  • Users of Docker Sandboxes or Docker Agent seeking task-specific agent guidance.

Documented uses

  • Guide an agent through initializing a Dockerized project and structuring its files.
  • Help an agent write, optimize, or harden Dockerfiles and container images.
  • Apply patterns for maintainable multi-container Docker Compose configurations.
  • Find agent instructions for sandbox lifecycle, network credentials, environments, or kits.
  • Refer to Docker Agent configuration, local run, and deployment guidance.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and licensed under Apache-2.0. It documents CLI-based installation and plugin instructions for selected coding agents.

  • Skills are portable SKILL.md directories intended for discovery by compliant agents through standard skill paths.
  • The repository groups skills by product and provides suggested ordering for workflows spanning multiple skills.
  • Docker Sandboxes environment and kit skills are explicitly marked experimental; the repository warns that experimental schemas may change.
  • The documented CLI prompts users to select skills and agents, and also provides non-interactive installation examples.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install a selected Docker skill with the skills CLI

Use the documented CLI flow to install one repository skill for a coding agent.

Before you start

  • The skills CLI, invoked in the documented example with npx.
  • A coding agent to select during installation.

Steps

  1. Run the command below.

    Documented command
    npx skills add docker/skills

  2. When prompted, choose the skill or skills and the agent to install them to.

Expected outcome

The selected Docker skill or skills are installed for the chosen agent through the CLI.

Guide limitations

  • The repository documents the command and prompt flow but does not specify all environment prerequisites.
  • Agent support and installation behavior depend on the selected agent and the skills CLI.
