What the skill teaches

Docker's skill for Compose files, used when an agent has to create, change or debug a compose.yaml stack rather than tune an image. It sets conventions such as the compose.yaml file name, pinned image tags, restart policies, health checks paired with depends_on conditions, named volumes and networks, environment handling and development overrides in compose.override.yaml. A helper script validates the Compose project in the current folder quietly, so resolved secrets are not printed. Docker Compose v2 is required.

Capabilities

  • Create and edit compose.yaml files
  • Set service health checks and start-up ordering
  • Plan volumes, networks and environment variables
  • Validate a Compose project without printing secrets
