Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
The configure-dockerfile skill allows AI agents to generate, modify, and optimize Dockerfiles for containerized applications. It handles multi-stage builds, dependency management, and security best practices directly within code generation workflows.
When to use it
- Automating the creation of production-ready Docker images from application source code.
- Refactoring existing Dockerfiles to reduce image size or improve build times.
- Implementing specific base images or entrypoint configurations for legacy applications.
- Generating secure Dockerfiles that adhere to non-root user principles and layer caching strategies.
Key capabilities
- Generates multi-stage Dockerfile structures to minimize final image footprint.
- Manages
FROM,RUN,COPY, andCMDinstructions with proper syntax. - Supports environment variable configuration and volume mounting definitions.
- Optimizes build stages by separating dependencies from application code.
Example prompts
"Create a multi-stage Dockerfile for a Node.js Express app that installs dependencies in one stage and copies only the production files to the final image."
"Refactor this existing Dockerfile to use a smaller base image and add a non-root user for security compliance."
"Generate a Dockerfile for a Python Flask application using slim base images and include health check instructions."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your AI agent has access to the specific application code or dependency lists required to generate accurate RUN commands. Always review generated files for context-specific secrets before committing them to version control.
