Deterministic, research-verified skills for Docker Engine 24+ and Docker Compose v2 — built for Claude Code.
A curated collection of 22 deterministic skills that teach Claude how to write, review, and debug Docker configurations. Every skill is verified against official Docker documentation — no hallucinated APIs, no vague advice.
- Developers who want Claude to write production-grade Dockerfiles and Compose files
- DevOps engineers who want Claude to understand container orchestration patterns
- Teams adopting Docker who want consistent, security-aware container configurations
- Open-source LLM users who need structured Docker knowledge for less capable models

| Technology | Version | Skills |
|---|---|---|
| Docker Engine | 24+ | All skills |
| Docker Compose | v2 | syntax-compose-*, impl-compose-* |
| BuildKit | Default in 24+ | syntax-buildkit, impl-build-optimization |

Each skill follows a consistent format:
- SKILL.md — Main skill file (<500 lines) with Quick Reference, Decision Trees, Patterns, Critical Warnings
- references/ — Extended content: detailed API references, code examples, anti-pattern catalogs
- All content in English with deterministic ALWAYS/NEVER language
- All code examples verified against official Docker documentation
- Every SKILL.md under 500 lines — heavy content in references/
- YAML frontmatter with trigger-word-rich descriptions
- Complete anti-pattern catalogs for every skill
- All Dockerfile examples buildable, all Compose files pass
docker compose config

This package follows the 7-phase research-first development methodology proven across multiple OpenAEC Foundation skill packages:
- Infrastructure & Planning — Repository setup, core files, protocols
- Research (Vooronderzoek) — Broad technology research and gap analysis
- Masterplan & Skill Design — Skill inventory, dependencies, batch planning
- Topic Research — Deep per-skill research with source verification
- Skill Development — Batch creation with quality gates
- Validation & Quality — Full quality audit against requirements
- Publication — GitHub release with documentation and branding
This package follows the 7-phase research-first methodology. Contributions must:
- Reference official Docker documentation (see SOURCES.md)
- Use deterministic language (ALWAYS/NEVER)
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines
- Include references/ with examples and anti-patterns
- Target Docker Engine 24+ and Compose v2
See REQUIREMENTS.md for full quality standards.
