SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps diagnose Docker-related problems across images, containers, and Compose setups, focusing on size, layer cache, runtime crashes, healthchecks, networking, and mounts to streamline debugging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated symptom collection: gather image, history, logs, and container state to build a factual diagnostic picture.
  • Guided hypothesis and actionable fixes: propose targeted diffs and remediation steps for common Docker pitfalls.
  • End-to-end workflow: from read-only inspection to validated recommendations, suitable for development, staging, and production triage.

Quick Start

Describe the target Docker image or container and follow the workflow to generate a diagnostic report.

Frequently Asked Questions about docker-diagnosis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why does my Docker container exit with a non-zero status code?

Diagnosing Docker container non-zero exits involves inspecting container logs, state, and history to surface runtime crashes or failed healthchecks, producing a structured report with actionable remediation steps.

How do I troubleshoot Docker compose services that are inaccessible?

Troubleshooting inaccessible Docker compose services requires inspecting network and healthcheck configurations to identify connectivity issues, generating actionable remediation steps and diffs to resolve service access problems.

What is the best way to reduce unusually large Docker image sizes?

Reducing large Docker image sizes requires inspecting image history and layer cache to surface bloated layers, producing a diagnostic report with actionable diffs and remediation steps to optimize image builds.

How do I diagnose a failing Docker healthcheck?

Diagnosing a failing Docker healthcheck requires inspecting container state and logs to identify failure causes, generating an evidence-rich report with actionable remediation steps to restore container health.

Does Docker diagnosis require write access to fix container issues?

Docker diagnosis uses read-only inspections of images, containers, and compose configurations to collect evidence, producing a deterministic report with actionable diffs and remediation steps without requiring write access.
