Docker Manager

Docker Manager skill gives your Claude agent control over the Docker daemon on your local machine or a remote Docker host via the Docker Engine API. List, start, stop, restart, and remove containers. Pull, tag, build, and delete images. Manage volumes and networks. Execute commands inside running containers and stream log output.

Docker Compose support is particularly powerful: the skill reads your compose files, starts or stops entire stacks, scales individual services, and checks health status across all services in a stack. You can describe infrastructure changes in plain English — 'scale the worker service to 5 replicas' — and the skill executes the appropriate compose commands.

Monitoring capabilities include real-time container stats (CPU, memory, network I/O), log streaming with filtering, and event streaming to detect container state changes. The skill can alert via Telegram or Slack when a container exits unexpectedly or when resource usage crosses a threshold.

Remote host management connects via Docker's TCP API (with TLS for security) or SSH tunneling, enabling management of production Docker hosts without installing anything on the server beyond Docker itself. Image build operations support multi-stage Dockerfiles, build arg injection, and cache management flags. Developers managing local development environments and DevOps engineers overseeing staging fleets both rely on Docker Manager to interact with containerized infrastructure through natural conversation rather than memorizing Docker CLI syntax.
