What problem does it solve?
This skill provides canonical devcontainer.json patterns for projects using mise, enabling repeatable, secure, and predictable container-based development environments across multi-folder workspaces.
Core Features & Use Cases
- OnCreate vs PostCreate: document how to place tool installation in onCreateCommand and source-dependent setup in postCreateCommand to optimize prebuild caching.
- Environment & Trust: configure containerEnv, remoteEnv, and MISE_TRUSTED_CONFIG_PATHS to enforce security and reliability.
- Mounts & User: specify SSH key forwarding and respect a dedicated remoteUser for consistent container behavior.
- Multi-Workspace Patterns: guide organizing multiple repos under /workspaces and trusting their config.
Quick Start
Draft and review a complete devcontainer.json pattern that integrates mise with onCreateCommand, postCreateCommand, mounts, environment shims, and trust rules.
