containerized-dev

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the setup and management of complex, multi-workspace development environments by leveraging Docker containers, ensuring consistency and reducing setup friction across different projects and developers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Containerized Dev Environments: Scaffolds Docker-based dev environments for various project types (Node.js, Rust, Python, Go, Ruby).
• Global Port Allocation: Manages port allocation across all projects to prevent conflicts.
• Workspace Management: Utilizes Git worktrees for isolated development spaces within containers.
• Agent Integration: Allows spawning and interactive attachment to Claude agents within containers.
• Session Handoff: Enables seamless transfer of work context from host to container.
• Host Daemon: Bridges host-specific capabilities (like native builds) to containers.
• Project Manifest System: Detects project types and self-improves based on a defined manifest.
• Use Case: A developer needs to set up a new Rust project that also requires Node.js tooling. This Skill can create a single, unified containerized environment that has both Rust and Node.js toolchains pre-installed, along with a managed port for the web server and isolated Git worktrees for different features.

Quick Start

Use the containerized-dev skill to set up a Docker-based development environment for your current project.
