What files does this skill create?

It typically generates a Dockerfile, docker-compose.yaml (or compose.yaml), .dockerignore, and a .env.example file to provide a complete environment setup.

What languages does the Docker Init skill support?

It automatically detects and supports major languages and frameworks including Node.js, Python, PHP/Laravel, and Go, applying specific best practices for each.

Can I use it for existing projects?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to analyze existing codebases and migrate them to Docker by identifying required services like databases and caches.

Does it generate production-ready configurations?

Yes, it uses multi-stage builds, non-root users, and health checks to ensure images are secure, small, and stable for production use.
