# Docker Composer

## Overview

Write Dockerfiles and docker-compose files — multi-stage builds, health checks, volumes, networks, and production configurations.

## When to Use This Skill

Use **Docker Composer** when you need to:

- Work with docker composer tasks in your project or workflow
- Automate docker composer operations at scale
- Generate production-quality docker composer output quickly

## Instructions

When this skill is active, Claude will:

1. Understand the full context of your docker composer request
2. Apply best practices and conventions for Development
3. Produce clean, well-structured, production-ready output
4. Explain key decisions and offer alternatives where relevant

## Examples

### Example 1 — Basic Usage

**User:** Help me get started with docker composer.

## Guidelines

- Always validate inputs before processing
- Follow the conventions of the target platform or language
- Prefer explicit over implicit — clarity beats cleverness
- Include comments for non-obvious logic
- Suggest tests or validation steps where appropriate
