docker-agent-run
Docker's skill for operating Docker Agent from the command line once its config file exists.
What the skill teaches
Docker's skill for operating Docker Agent from the command line once its config file exists. It covers starting agents with docker agent run from a local file, an alias or a registry reference, picking how much autonomy tool calls get through the safety modes or the yolo flag, isolating an agent in a sandbox VM with its network allowlist, using git worktrees and aliases, and working out why a run fails with docker agent doctor, for example when credentials or models are missing. It needs the docker-agent CLI plugin; the sandbox option also needs the sbx CLI.
Capabilities
- Run Docker Agent interactively or headless
- Choose approval and safety modes for tool calls
- Run an agent inside a sandbox VM
- Diagnose failing runs with docker agent doctor
