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 provides access to Docker Desktop, enabling you to run containerized applications locally. It simplifies development workflows by providing a graphical user interface and tools for managing containers, images, networks, and volumes. This allows agents to easily build, test, and deploy applications in isolated environments.
When to use it
- Local Development: Set up a consistent development environment with all necessary dependencies packaged within Docker containers.
- Testing & Debugging: Run application tests in isolated containerized environments to ensure reproducibility.
- Reproducible Deployments: Package and deploy applications consistently across different platforms using Docker images.
- Learning Containerization: Provides a user-friendly interface for understanding and experimenting with Docker concepts.
Key capabilities
- Container Management: Create, start, stop, and delete containers.
- Image Management: Pull, build, and manage Docker images.
- Volume Management: Manage persistent data volumes for containerized applications.
- Network Configuration: Configure networks for communication between containers.
- Graphical User Interface (GUI): Provides a visual interface for interacting with Docker.
Example prompts
- "Start the 'my-app' container."
- "Show me all running containers."
- "Pull the latest version of the 'nginx' image."
- “Create a volume named ‘data’ and mount it to my application.”
Tips & gotchas
- Requires sufficient system resources (RAM, CPU) as Docker Desktop can be resource-intensive.
- Ensure your agent has appropriate permissions to install and run applications.
