Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.

Use this skill when creating, modifying, or debugging Docker Compose configurations, even if the user just says they need to wire services together, add a database to their stack, or set up a local development environment with multiple containers. Covers service definitions, health checks, dependency ordering, volumes, networks, environment variables, and development overrides.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'docker-compose-patterns' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'docker-compose-patterns' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named docker-compose-patterns already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/docker/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3b6fe59c63532138756dae8bea1f62d40b464b62' -- 'skills/docker-compose-patterns' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/docker-compose-patterns' ~/.agents/skills/'docker-compose-patterns' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'docker-compose-patterns' ~/.claude/skills/'docker-compose-patterns' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
