docker-init

This Skill automates Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml generation tailored to your project type—Node.js, Python, PHP, Laravel, Go, and others—creating multi-stage builds, non-root users, health checks, and environment scaffolding in one step.

Yes, this Skill applies to new projects, migrations, and adding Docker support to existing codebases. It generates Dockerfile, docker-compose.yaml, .dockerignore, and .env.example without modifying your source code.

Multi-stage Dockerfiles build your application in separate layers—compilation or dependency installation in one stage, runtime in another—reducing final image size and improving security by excluding build tools from production containers.

This Skill generates a complete docker-compose.yaml with essential services and health checks configured for your project type, eliminating manual configuration and reducing setup time.

.dockerignore excludes unnecessary files from the Docker build context to reduce image size; .env.example provides a template for environment variables your application needs, simplifying configuration management.

Yes, the generated Dockerfile includes non-root user configuration as a security best practice, preventing containers from running with root privileges and limiting exposure if a container is compromised.
