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 josiahsiegel/claude-plugin-marketplace at 5a1b1123b9.

    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, Docker Compose Watch Mode 2025, automates hot reloading during local development for Docker containers. It synchronizes file changes instantly without requiring manual container restarts, improving developer productivity. The skill offers three watch actions: syncing changed files directly into a running container (for frameworks like React and Node.js), rebuilding the image and recreating the container (for compiled languages or dependency updates), and syncing files followed by a container restart (for configuration changes). This approach provides better performance than traditional bind mounts while avoiding file permission issues.

When to use it

  • React/Next.js Development: Automatically update running containers when source code changes, enabling hot reloading.
  • Go/Rust/Java Projects: Trigger image rebuilds and container recreation upon code or dependency modifications.
  • Configuration File Updates: Ensure configuration changes are reflected by syncing the files and restarting the relevant container.

Key capabilities

  • Hot Reload (sync action): Copies changed files directly into running containers for frameworks with hot reload support.
  • Image Rebuild (rebuild action): Rebuilds Docker images and recreates containers when file changes trigger a rebuild.
  • Config Restart (sync+restart action): Synchronizes configuration files and restarts the container to apply changes.
  • Intelligent Syncing: Provides optimized file synchronization within containers.
  • Platform Compatibility: Works across various development platforms.

Example prompts

  • "Set up hot reloading for my React frontend application using Docker Compose Watch Mode."
  • "Configure a rebuild action in my Docker Compose file to trigger when package.json changes."
  • “How do I use the sync+restart action to update configuration files and restart the container?”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires Docker Compose: This skill relies on Docker Compose for managing containers.
  • Action Selection: Choose the appropriate watch action (sync, rebuild, or sync+restart) based on the type of file changes you're monitoring.
  • Configuration: Properly configure the path, target, and ignore parameters within your Docker Compose file for optimal performance.
