Is this skill compatible with Intel-based Macs?

No, this skill is specifically designed for and requires Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, etc.) and modern macOS versions.

Do I need Docker Desktop installed to use this?

No, this skill utilizes a native `container` CLI which acts as a lightweight, standalone alternative to Docker Desktop.

How do I handle builder freezes or memory issues?

You can resolve freezes by killing the buildkit process and restarting it with allocated resources using the `container builder start --cpus [count] --memory [size]` command.

Are the images created compatible with standard registries?

Yes, because the images are OCI-compatible, they can be pushed to and pulled from any standard container registry like Docker Hub, GCR, or ECR.

Can I use my existing Dockerfiles with this skill?

Yes, the Apple Container runtime is OCI-compatible and supports standard Dockerfiles using the `container build` command.

デプロイメントとDevOps

Manages OCI-compatible containers natively on Apple silicon as a lightweight, high-performance alternative to Docker.

概要

The Apple Container skill enables Claude to manage containerized environments natively on macOS using Apple's specialized container runtime. It provides a high-performance, OCI-compatible alternative to Docker Desktop specifically optimized for Apple silicon hardware. By leveraging the native `container` CLI, Claude can build images, execute Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines, and handle system services with significantly lower overhead than traditional virtualization, ensuring a faster and more resource-efficient development workflow on Mac.
