README (SKILL.md)
Docker Operations
This skill provides comprehensive Docker operations using the docker CLI. Ensure Docker is installed and configured on your system:
docker --version
When to Use
- Creating, running, stopping, and managing containers
- Building and pulling/pushing Docker images
- Inspecting containers, images, and Docker objects
- Copying files between containers and host
- Managing Docker registries and image tags
- Viewing logs and real-time container stats
- Cleaning up unused Docker resources
When NOT to Use
- Docker Swarm orchestration (use dedicated swarm tooling)
- Kubernetes container management
- Building Docker images with complex buildx bake files (see references/buildx.md)
- Docker Compose multi-container applications (see references/compose.md)

Usage Guidance
This skill is a documentation/reference pack for the docker CLI and appears coherent with that purpose. Before using it: ensure Docker is installed and you understand the commands — many examples (docker run with -v, --privileged, docker cp, docker export/import, non-interactive docker login) can expose host files or credentials if run carelessly. Do not run untrusted images or use privileged mounts; avoid supplying registry credentials to unknown code. Note the minor doc inconsistency around Compose/buildx (the skill contains compose docs but warns against using it for complex multi-container Compose scenarios). Because the skill's source is unknown, prefer using it read-only as guidance rather than granting an agent free-run to execute Docker commands on sensitive hosts.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: docker-operations
Version: 0.0.2
The skill bundle is a comprehensive documentation set for managing Docker containers and images via the standard CLI. It provides instructions for container lifecycle, image operations, registry management, and system monitoring (SKILL.md, references/*.md). While Docker operations are inherently powerful, the instructions are well-documented, include security warnings (e.g., regarding password-stdin in registry.md), and lack any evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the bundled reference files: this is a comprehensive Docker CLI guide. All included commands and examples are appropriate for Docker operations. (Minor inconsistency: the top-level list includes 'docker compose' and 'buildx', while the 'When NOT to Use' section warns against multi-container Compose and complex buildx bake files; this is a documentation clarity issue, not evidence of misdirection.)
Instruction Scope
The SKILL is instruction-only and contains direct CLI examples that can manipulate the host (docker run with mounts, --privileged, docker cp, docker export/import) and demonstrates non-interactive docker login usage. Those examples are expected for a Docker reference but they are powerful operations that — if run — can access host files or registry credentials.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files; nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself, which is the lowest-risk install posture.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. Examples reference environment variables (e.g., $PASSWORD for docker login) but do not demand them. There are no unrelated secret requests.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install means the skill does not request permanent system presence or elevated platform privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other concerning flags.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install docker-operations - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/docker-operations - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
