Can it help with local development setups?

Yes, it provides patterns for Docker Compose to orchestrate app services, databases, and caches in a unified local environment.

Is it compatible with any programming language?

Yes, the skill provides language-agnostic patterns that can be adapted for Node.js, Python, Go, and other modern frameworks.

How does this skill optimize Docker image size?

It utilizes multi-stage builds and minimal base images like Alpine to ensure only necessary runtime artifacts are included in the final image.

How do I implement these patterns in my workflow?

By activating this skill, Claude will automatically reference these best practices when you ask it to containerize an application or debug a Docker configuration.

Does it include security best practices?

Absolutely. The skill emphasizes using non-root users, Docker secrets, and minimizing layer counts to reduce potential attack surfaces.
