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 openhands/skills at 9c140e285e.

    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 allows AI agents to interact with and manage Docker containers. It enables tasks such as pulling images from registries, running containers based on those images, and inspecting container status. The agent can leverage this skill for deployment, testing, and development workflows involving containerized applications.

When to use it

  • Deploying a web application: The agent could pull a pre-built Docker image of your app and run it as a container.
  • Running tests in isolated environments: Use the skill to spin up containers for testing purposes, ensuring consistent test conditions.
  • Reproducing development environments: Quickly create identical development environments using Docker images.
  • Managing microservices: The agent can orchestrate and manage multiple Docker containers that comprise a larger application.

Key capabilities

  • Pulling Docker images from registries
  • Running containers based on specified images
  • Inspecting container status (running, stopped, etc.)

Example prompts

  • "Run the nginx:latest image."
  • "Pull the my-app/backend:1.0 image from Docker Hub."
  • “What is the status of the container named 'webserver'?"

Tips & gotchas

The agent needs appropriate permissions to interact with a Docker daemon or registry. Ensure that necessary credentials are available for pulling images and running containers.
