dockerfile-best-practices SKILL.md skillA

dockerfile-best-practices from khaledsaeed18/dotclaude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

Write or review a Dockerfile and compose setup for a production service: multi-stage builds that ship only the runtime, pinned base images, layer order for cache hits, non-root user, minimal image size, correct signal handling and health checks, secrets kept out of layers, and language-specific patterns for Node, Python, Go, and Java. Use when containerising a service, when images are large or slow to build, when a container ignores SIGTERM, or when a security scan flags the image.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

A production image contains exactly what the process needs to run, built reproducibly, running as a non-root user, and stopping cleanly when asked. Everything below follows from those four properties.

## Structure: multi-stage

```dockerfile
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.7
FROM node:22.11-bookworm-slim AS deps
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json pnpm-lock.yaml ./
RUN corepack enable && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prod=false

FROM deps AS build
COPY . .
RUN pnpm build && pnpm prune --prod

FROM node:22.11-bookworm-slim AS runtime
ENV NODE_ENV=production
WORKDIR /app
RUN groupadd -r app && useradd -r -g app -d /app app
COPY --from=build --chown=app:app /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=build --chown=app:app /app/dist ./dist
COPY --chown=app:app package.json ./
USER app
EXPOSE 3000
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=10s CMD node dist/healthcheck.js
ENTRYPOINT ["node", "dist/server.js"]
```

Build stages hold compilers and dev dependencies; the runtime stage copies artifacts only.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/dockerfile-best-practices@sha256:d7a07860e9927f06

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.8d3f9eb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
