Docker and OCI container image expertise for building, optimizing, and securing container images

Container Images Skill

Overview

Specialized skill for Docker and OCI container image development, optimization, and security. Provides expert capabilities for building production-ready container images.

Capabilities

Dockerfile Development

  • Analyze and optimize existing Dockerfiles
  • Create multi-stage build configurations
  • Implement build argument patterns
  • Design base image hierarchies
  • Handle platform-specific builds (multi-arch)

Image Optimization

  • Minimize image layer count and size
  • Optimize layer caching strategies
  • Implement .dockerignore patterns
  • Remove unnecessary dependencies
  • Use distroless/minimal base images

Security Scanning

  • Interpret vulnerability scan results (Trivy, Snyk, Grype)
  • Prioritize CVE remediation
  • Recommend secure base images
  • Implement image signing (Cosign, Notary)
  • Configure admission policies

Registry Operations

  • Push, pull, and tag images
  • Configure registry authentication
  • Implement image retention policies
  • Handle multi-registry strategies
  • Manage image manifests and indexes

Build Integration

  • Integrate with CI/CD pipelines
  • Configure build caching (BuildKit)
  • Implement remote builders
  • Handle secrets during builds
  • Set up automated builds

Target Processes

  • container-image-management.js - Container image lifecycle
  • security-scanning.js - Image vulnerability scanning
  • cicd-pipeline-setup.js - Build pipeline configuration

Usage Context

This skill is invoked when processes require:

  • Creating optimized Dockerfiles
  • Reducing container image sizes
  • Addressing security vulnerabilities in images
  • Setting up container build pipelines
  • Managing container registries

Dependencies

  • Docker CLI or compatible (Podman, nerdctl)
  • Container registry access
  • Vulnerability scanners (Trivy, Snyk)
  • BuildKit for advanced builds

Output Formats

  • Dockerfile configurations
  • Build optimization reports
  • Vulnerability analysis reports
  • Registry operation logs
  • Multi-stage build templates
