74 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.

Apple's native `container` CLI for running Linux containers as lightweight per-container VMs on macOS 26 Apple Silicon. Load when creating, configuring, managing, backing up, sharing, or deleting containers, images, volumes, or networks with `container`; when `container` or `container system start` fails; or when choosing between `container` and Docker/Podman/Colima on a Mac.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'container' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'container' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named container already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/phatblat/dotfiles' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'b2d15ba67526a7ed5e69bb43efd3fb9ed779a7ad' -- '.agents/skills/container' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/container' ~/.agents/skills/'container' && 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/'container' ~/.claude/skills/'container' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
