description	Build minimal, secure Dockerfiles with verification-first workflow.

Dockerfile Generation

Purpose

Create or improve Dockerfiles with secure and efficient containerization practices.

Inputs

• app runtime and entrypoint
• build tooling and artifacts
• runtime environment constraints

Process

1. Identify build-time vs runtime dependencies.
2. Prefer multi-stage builds for smaller images.
3. Use pinned base image tags and non-root user.
4. Add healthcheck and sensible default command.
5. Verify build and run behavior locally.

Output Format

• Dockerfile path
• key design decisions
• build/run verification commands

Quality Checks

• Uses minimal runtime image where practical
• Runs as non-root user
• No secrets baked into image layers
