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 refactors Dockerfiles to improve readability, efficiency, and security. It can analyze existing Dockerfiles, identify potential issues such as inefficient layer usage or unnecessary commands, and suggest improvements. The skill aims to produce cleaner, more maintainable Docker configurations.
When to use it
- You have a complex Dockerfile that is difficult to understand or modify.
- Your Docker image build times are slow and you suspect inefficiencies in the Dockerfile.
- You want to ensure your Dockerfile follows best practices for security and maintainability.
- You're migrating an existing application to containers and need help optimizing the Dockerfile.
Key capabilities
- Dockerfile analysis
- Inefficient layer identification
- Unnecessary command detection
- Security vulnerability suggestions (implied)
- Improved readability through refactoring
Example prompts
- "Refactor this Dockerfile: [paste Dockerfile content]"
- "Analyze this Dockerfile and suggest improvements for build time optimization: [paste Dockerfile content]"
- "Can you make this Dockerfile more secure? [paste Dockerfile content]"
Tips & gotchas
The skill's effectiveness depends on the complexity and quality of the input Dockerfile. It is best suited for Dockerfiles that already have some structure, as it refactors rather than creates from scratch.
