| description | Scaffolds an agent skill with a Docker runtime environment. NOT for normal local skills (use `create-skill`) and NOT for Azure hosted agents (use `create-azure-agent`).

Follow the create-docker-skill skill workflow to scaffold a compliant agent skill
that depends on containerized runtimes (Docker, Nextflow, HPC).
Inputs
$ARGUMENTS — optional skill name or use-case description. Omit to start with discovery.
Steps
- If
$ARGUMENTS provides a skill name, use it to seed the discovery phase
- Follow the create-docker-skill phased workflow: determine container runtime and
workflow type, gather environment check requirements, design pre-flight validation
and subprocess execution scaffolding, then generate the skill directory
- Report the created skill path and Docker environment setup instructions
Output
Skill directory with SKILL.md containing pre-flight environment checks, subprocess
execution patterns, security-override config, and Docker-aware error handling.
Edge Cases
- If
$ARGUMENTS is empty: begin with discovery — do not assume Docker is available
- If Docker is not installed in the target environment: generate graceful degradation
- If the workflow uses HPC or Nextflow instead of Docker: adapt scaffolding accordingly
