Docker Restart Safe
This skill wraps standard Docker commands with a safety layer. Unlike raw Docker commands, these verify the container exists and force a user confirmation step before execution.
Safety Features
- Pre-Flight Check: Verifies the container is actually running before attempting restart.
- Confirmation Modal: Intercepts the command and presents a [Y/n] prompt to the user with a summary of impact.
- Health Verification: Automatically runs the
docker-health pack after restart to confirm successful recovery.
Dependencies
- Requires
docker executable in PATH.
- Integrates with
docker-health pack for post-operation verification.
