Containerize

STOP - Read before ANY tool call

1. Read E:/Source/Repos/agent-dev-toolkit/scripts/validation/fixtures/install-root/.grok/rules/guardrails.md
2. Read E:/Source/Repos/agent-dev-toolkit/scripts/validation/fixtures/install-root/skills/_shared/sdd-artifacts/SESSION.md; load session-state for $Cwd
3. If the relevant gate is not approved: STOP - ask user (pt-BR) - do NOT Write/Shell
4. SDD/develop skills: after ONE step/task, STOP session - handoff only
5. This skill body is English; user-facing prompts may be (pt-BR)

Step -1 - Gate check (report in chat before continuing)

Gate check:
[ ] guardrails.mdc read
[ ] SESSION.md read; session-state loaded
[ ] PIPELINE.md read (SDD skills only)
[ ] User confirmed current action (sim)
-> If any unchecked: STOP

Skill: containerize

Trigger

Invoke when the user requests: /containerize, dockerize project, /containerize, or asks to containerize the workspace.

Arguments (optional):

Outcome

A set of production-ready container configurations:

1. Dockerfile: Multi-stage build leveraging minimal base images (alpine or distroless), strict layer caching, and non-root execution.
2. .dockerignore: Clean file excluding local packages, builds, git, and sensitive secrets.
3. docker-compose.yml: Orchestrated configuration for local testing, binding the application port and spinning up required database/caching services.

Lazy-load

Process

Step -1b - Caveman Mode (Full cap)

1. Read E:/Source/Repos/agent-dev-toolkit/scripts/validation/fixtures/install-root/sdd/preferences.json (create { "caveman_mode": false, "caveman_level": "full" } if missing).
2. If caveman_mode is false: continue without compression.
3. If true: load E:/Source/Repos/agent-dev-toolkit/scripts/validation/fixtures/install-root/skills/_shared/caveman/CAVEMAN.md; apply Full participation cap + prefs caveman_level (Lite skills never escalate); show once: [Caveman] Modo ativo (respostas compactas, level={effective}). Digite caveman off para desativar.
4. Honor caveman on|off|status|lite|full|ultra (and stop caveman / normal mode) during the session.
5. Auto-Clarity + never-compress gates/drafts/paths per CAVEMAN.md.

-1. Re-check guardrails and session

Confirm guardrails.mdc and SESSION.md are loaded. If missing, ask user (pt-BR):

Antes de containerizar, confirme:
- guardrails.mdc lido
- SESSION.md carregado

0. Workspace Inspection

• Identify the programming language/platform (C#, Node.js, Python, static frontend).
• Scan for configuration files (appsettings.json, .env, package.json, requirements.txt) to determine:
  • Excluded files and build outputs.
  • Internal network ports.
  • Dependent services (e.g., PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Redis, RabbitMQ).

1. Draft the Configuration & Workflow Decision

• Explain the proposed container strategy:
  • Base images to use (e.g. mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0-alpine or node:20-alpine).
  • Port maps and network parameters.
  • Required local services in compose.
• Stop and ask the user to choose the workflow execution path to build and verify these configurations:
  • Option A - Direct Developer Skill (/developer): For straightforward local creation of Dockerfiles/Compose.
  • Option B - Classic SDD (/sdd-spec -> sdd-plan -> sdd-develop): For complex environment containerization requiring formal specifications (PRD) and a detailed plan (PLAN) in Portuguese.
  • Option D - Plain Chat Plan: Establish a simple task list directly in the chat, executing steps one by one without extra file creations.
• Wait for explicit user choice before writing code or initializing another workflow.

2. Generate Dockerfile

• Write Dockerfile using multi-stage build patterns:
  • Build stage: Copy package manifests (.csproj, package.json, requirements.txt) and restore first to leverage layer caching. Then copy code and compile.
  • Runtime stage: Copy only build artifacts from the build stage.
  • Enforce security: create and switch to a non-root system user inside the runtime image.
  • Define EXPOSE and a stable ENTRYPOINT or CMD.

3. Generate .dockerignore

• Write .dockerignore. Standard exclusions:
  • Dotnet: **/bin, **/obj, **/.vs, **/.git, *.user.
  • Node: node_modules, npm-debug.log, dist, build.
  • Python: __pycache__, *.pyc, *.pyo, *.pyd, .venv, .env.

4. Generate docker-compose.yml

• Write docker-compose.yml for local development:
  • Declare the application service built from the local Dockerfile.
  • Declare secondary database or cache services identified in step 0.
  • Configure persistent volumes for database data.
  • Setup environment variables to link the application with the companion services.

5. Local Syntax Validation

• Validate file formats (ensure correct YAML spacing in compose).
• Recommend the user run a local test build:

docker compose build
docker compose up -d

6. Handoff

• Offer committing the configurations:

/commit

Must not

• Use heavy, development-only base images for runtimes.
• Expose sensitive environment variables, tokens, or credentials inside checked-in files. Use env templates or volumes.
