What project types does this skill support?

It detects dependencies across various ecosystems including Node.js (package.json), Python (pyproject.toml), Go (go.mod), Java (pom.xml), and Rust (Cargo.toml).

Does it require an existing Dockerfile?

The skill checks for an existing Dockerfile and will recommend generating one first if it's missing to ensure the 'app' service can build correctly.

Can I choose which services are added to the compose file?

Yes, the skill scans your dependencies and presents a list of detected services for you to confirm or modify before generating the file.

Does it handle database persistence?

Yes, it configures Docker volumes automatically to ensure your database and service data survives container restarts.

How does it ensure the app doesn't start before the database is ready?

The skill implements 'depends_on' with 'service_healthy' conditions, utilizing built-in health checks for all generated services.

Deployment & DevOps

Automatically generates optimized docker-compose.yml files by detecting project dependencies and configuring reliable local development environments.

This skill streamlines the creation of containerized development environments by scanning your project files to identify required infrastructure like databases, caches, and message brokers. It generates a robust docker-compose.yml file that includes best practices such as health-check-based startup ordering, persistent volumes, and live source code mounting. By automating the boilerplate of service configuration, it ensures that developers can move from source code to a fully functioning local stack in seconds with minimal manual effort.
