DevContainer Helper

This skill assists in creating and managing devcontainer.json files for consistent development environments.

Workflow

1. specific Requirements

Before generating the file, determine the user's needs:

  • Base Environment: Do they want a pre-built image (e.g., Ubuntu, Python, Node), a custom Dockerfile, or a docker-compose.yml setup?
  • Languages & Tools: What languages (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, etc.) and tools (Git, CLI utilities) are needed?
  • Extensions: Are there specific VS Code extensions required?
  • Ports: What ports need to be forwarded?

2. Generate Configuration

Use the template in assets/devcontainer-template.json as a starting point.
