Docker Compose Ops

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to manage and interact with Docker Compose deployments. It can start, stop, and inspect services defined in a docker-compose.yml file, enabling automated workflows and infrastructure management tasks. The agent can also retrieve information about running containers, such as logs and status.

When to use it

• Automating development environments: Spin up local development stacks with multiple interconnected services quickly.
• Managing testing infrastructure: Easily deploy and tear down test environments based on Docker Compose configurations.
• Monitoring service health: Check the status of individual containers within a Compose application.
• Troubleshooting deployments: Retrieve logs from specific containers to diagnose issues in a running environment.

Key capabilities

• Start/Stop services defined in docker-compose.yml
• Inspect container status and configuration
• Retrieve container logs
• Manage Docker Compose deployments

Example prompts

• "Start the 'web' service in my docker-compose project."
• "What is the current status of the database container?"
• "Show me the latest 100 lines of log output from the app server."
• "Stop all services defined in docker-compose.yml."

Tips & gotchas

The agent requires access to a directory containing a valid docker-compose.yml file. Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed and running on the system where the AI agent is executing.
