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
What it does
This skill allows AI agents to utilize Docker Compose, a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It enables the agent to orchestrate multiple containers with linked services, volumes, and networks through a YAML configuration file. This simplifies application deployment and management by automating the process of setting up complex environments.
When to use it
- Local Development: Quickly spin up a development environment consisting of a database, web server, and other dependencies defined in a
docker-compose.ymlfile. - Testing Environments: Create consistent testing environments with specific versions of services and data volumes.
- Simple Application Deployment: Deploy small to medium sized applications that require multiple interconnected containers.
- Reproducible Builds: Ensure consistent builds across different machines by defining the entire application stack in a
docker-compose.ymlfile.
Key capabilities
- Defining multi-container Docker applications
- Orchestrating linked services within containers
- Managing volumes for persistent data storage
- Configuring networks for container communication
Example prompts
- "Run the application defined in
docker-compose.yml." - "Start only the database service from the
docker-compose.ymlfile." - "Show me the logs for the web server container."
Tips & gotchas
- Requires a working Docker and Docker Compose installation on the system where the agent is running.
- The AI agent needs access to the
docker-compose.ymlfile to execute commands.
