Overview

This skill enables AI-assisted Docker configuration within Windsurf. Cascade analyzes your application to generate optimized Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds, minimal base images, proper layer caching, and security best practices. It supports Node.js, Python, Go, Java, and other common runtimes with framework-specific optimizations.

Prerequisites

• Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
• Docker installed locally
• Application with defined dependencies
• Understanding of containerization concepts
• Target deployment environment defined

Instructions

1. Analyze Application
2. Select Base Image
3. Generate Dockerfile
4. Configure Security
5. Test and Validate

See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.
