Docker Compose Generator

What this skill does

This skill directs the agent to gather information about your application stack and produce a production-ready docker-compose.yml file. It includes health checks, named volumes, custom networks, environment variable placeholders, restart policies, and sensible resource limits — all things that are easy to miss when writing a Compose file from scratch.

Use this when bootstrapping a new project, when converting an existing app to run in containers, or when you want a solid starting point to customize from.

How to use

Claude Code / Cline

Copy this file to .agents/skills/docker-compose-generator/SKILL.md in your project root.

Then ask:

• "Use the Docker Compose Generator skill to create a docker-compose.yml for my Node.js app with PostgreSQL and Redis."
• "I have a Python FastAPI backend, a React frontend, and a Postgres database. Use the Docker Compose Generator skill."

The agent will ask clarifying questions before generating the file if your description is incomplete.
