Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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

    Scanned thebushidocollective/han at 19caa51d5f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to define, configure, and manage Docker Compose network architectures for containerized applications. It allows agents to create isolated network environments, connect multiple containers securely, and handle complex service dependencies within a single deployment stack.

When to use it

  • Deploying microservices that require specific inter-container communication patterns.
  • Isolating development or testing environments from production networks using custom bridge networks.
  • Managing multi-service applications where services must share data via internal DNS names.
  • Configuring overlay networks for connecting containers across multiple Docker hosts.

Key capabilities

  • Define custom network names and driver types (bridge, host, overlay) in docker-compose.yml.
  • Assign static IP addresses to containers within a specific network subnet.
  • Enable container-to-container communication using service names as DNS entries.
  • Create external networks to connect with existing infrastructure outside Docker Compose.
  • Manage network isolation by restricting which services can access specific networks.

Example prompts

  • "Create a Docker Compose configuration with two isolated bridge networks for frontend and backend services."
  • "Configure a multi-host overlay network so my containers on different machines can communicate securely."
  • "Set up a custom subnet 172.20.0.0/16 and assign static IPs to three specific containers in my stack."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Docker daemon supports the network driver you choose, especially for overlay networks which require Docker Swarm or specific daemon configurations. Misconfigured subnets can prevent containers from resolving service names correctly, leading to connection failures even if the services are running.
