What the skill teaches

One of Docker's own agent skills, for writing the agent.yaml file that Docker Agent (the open-source cagent project, run as docker agent) reads. It guides the agent through declaring agents with their model, instructions, toolsets and sub-agents, setting up model providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Bedrock or Docker Model Runner, attaching built-in toolsets or MCP servers, and building teams in which a coordinator hands work to specialists. Running and serving agents are left to sibling skills. It assumes the docker-agent CLI plugin from Docker Desktop 4.63 or later, or a standalone install.

Capabilities

  • Write and edit agent.yaml files for Docker Agent
  • Configure model providers for an agent
  • Add built-in toolsets or MCP servers to an agent
  • Set up multi-agent teams with sub-agents
