Install target

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 rohitg00/awesome-claude-code-toolkit at ebdf1d596d.

    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 provides guidance and recommendations for implementing Docker best practices. It can help users optimize container images, improve security, and ensure consistent deployments across different environments. The skill focuses on practical advice applicable to various development stages, from initial setup to ongoing maintenance.

When to use it

  • You're starting a new project and want to build your application using Docker containers.
  • Your existing Dockerfiles are large or inefficient, and you need help optimizing them.
  • You’re experiencing issues with container security vulnerabilities.
  • You want to ensure consistent environments across development, testing, and production.

Key capabilities

  • Dockerfile optimization techniques
  • Container image security best practices
  • Multi-stage builds for smaller images
  • Environment variable management within Docker containers

Example prompts

  • "How can I reduce the size of my Node.js Docker image?"
  • "What are some common Docker security vulnerabilities and how to prevent them?"
  • “Suggest best practices for managing environment variables in a Docker container.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill assumes basic familiarity with Docker concepts. While it provides guidance, implementing these best practices may require adjustments based on your specific project requirements.
