What this skill does


# Docker Expert

## Overview

This skill enables AI assistants to help with Docker containerization, docker-compose setups, and container orchestration for micro startup infrastructure.

## When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when users need:

- Dockerfile creation for NestJS/Next.js
- docker-compose configuration
- Container networking and volumes
- Multi-stage builds optimization
- Health checks and restart policies
- MongoDB/Redis container setup

## Dockerfile Best Practices

### NestJS Multi-Stage Build

```dockerfile
FROM node:20-alpine AS base
WORKDIR /app

FROM base AS deps
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci

FROM base AS builder
COPY --from=deps /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM base AS runner
ENV NODE_ENV=production
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
EXPOSE 3001
CMD ["node", "dist/main.js"]
```

### Next.js Dockerfile

```dockerfile
FROM node:20-alpine AS base
WORKDIR /app

FROM base AS deps
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci

FROM base AS builder
COPY --from=deps /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM base AS runner
ENV NODE_ENV=production
COPY --from=builder /app/.next ./.next
COPY --from=builder /app/public ./public
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=builder /app/package.json ./package.json
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["npm", "start"]
```

## Docker Compose Patterns

### Development Setup

- Use volumes for live reload
- Mount source code
- Set restart: unless-stopped
- Configure networks

### Production Setup

- Use named volumes for persistence
- Set restart policies
- Configure health checks
- Use secrets management

### MongoDB with Docker Compose

```yaml
services:
  mongodb:
    image: mongo:7.0
    container_name: mongodb
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: ${MONGO_ROOT_USERNAME}
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD}
    volumes:
      - mongodb_data:/data/db
    networks:
      - app-network
    command: mongod --auth
```

## Health Checks

```yaml
healthcheck:
  test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:3001/health"]
  interval: 30s
  timeout: 10s
  retries: 3
  start_period: 40s
```

## Best Practices

- Use multi-stage builds to reduce image size
- Leverage layer caching
- Use .dockerignore
- Set appropriate restart policies
- Use health checks for containers
- Mount volumes for persistent data
- Use networks for service isolation

generating-lwc-components

Included

Lightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. Use this skill when the user creates or edits LWC components, builds wire service patterns, or writes Jest tests for LWC. TRIGGER when: user creates/edits LWC components, touches lwc/**/*.js, .html, .css, .js-meta.xml files, or asks about wire service, SLDS, or Jest LWC tests. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Apex classes (use generating-apex), Aura components, or Visualforce.

tanstack-query

Included

Manage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.

document-processor-api

Included

Process documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.
