What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers identify and consistently use the active NetAlertX development container, preventing environment drift and mistakes when running commands, testing, or troubleshooting.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Identify the active development container before starting work to ensure all tasks run in the correct environment.
• Execute commands inside the container using docker exec, maintaining context and isolation.
• Manage container setup and maintenance via the provided devcontainer script to reset or reinitialize services as needed.
• Use during debugging, testing, and setup sessions to streamline workflows and reduce setup friction.

Quick Start

Identify the active NetAlertX development container using docker ps and filter for netalertx. If found, run the container setup script inside the container: docker exec <CONTAINER_ID> bash /workspaces/NetAlertX/.devcontainer/scripts/setup.sh If no container is found, inform the user to start the container or attach to the correct environment.
