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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: clawhub.ai.

    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.

    What it found

      "registry": "https://clawhub.ai",

  • 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 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 jgarrison929/openclaw-skills at bf7b902a74.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides foundational knowledge and practical application of Docker. It enables users to package applications into containers, ensuring consistency across different environments. The skill covers core concepts like images, containers, volumes, and networking, allowing for efficient deployment and management of software.

When to use it

  • Setting up a development environment: Quickly create isolated and reproducible development environments using Docker containers.
  • Deploying applications consistently: Ensure your application runs the same way in different stages (development, testing, production) by packaging it into a Docker container.
  • Running microservices: Easily manage and scale individual components of an application architecture using Docker containers for each service.
  • Creating portable applications: Package your application with all its dependencies so that it can be easily moved between different servers or cloud providers.

Key capabilities

  • Understanding Docker images and containers
  • Building custom Docker images
  • Managing volumes for persistent data
  • Networking containers together

Example prompts

  • "Explain how to build a Docker image from a Dockerfile."
  • "Show me an example of running a container with volume mounting."
  • "What's the difference between docker run and docker compose?"

Tips & gotchas

  • A basic understanding of command-line interfaces is helpful for effectively using this skill.
  • Docker concepts can be complex; start with simple examples and gradually increase complexity.
