Depot Container Builds

Use this skill when building Docker images with Depot instead of local docker build or docker buildx.

What It Owns

• depot build and depot bake usage
• multi-platform image builds
• cache behavior and remote builder tradeoffs
• registry push / load / save behavior
• debugging common Depot build failures

Core Rules

• Prefer depot build as the direct replacement for docker buildx build.
• Use --push, --load, or --save intentionally; do not assume local images exist after a remote build.
• Prefer native multi-platform builds instead of emulation when Depot supports the target architectures.
• Treat remote cache behavior as the default, not an add-on.
