Does it support complex Docker Compose setups?

Absolutely. It specializes in service dependency management, custom networking, health checks, and resource limits for stable multi-container applications.

How does this skill reduce Docker image size?

It implements multi-stage builds and utilizes minimal base images like Alpine or Distroless to ensure only necessary runtime artifacts are included in the final image.

Can it help with container security audits?

Yes, it evaluates Dockerfiles for security risks and suggests hardening measures like non-root users, read-only filesystems, and secret management patterns.

Will this skill help fix slow Docker build times?

Yes, it analyzes layer ordering and .dockerignore configurations to maximize layer caching efficiency and minimize build context transfer.
