Docker Patterns

Adapted from ECC's docker-patterns skill (MIT).

Docker and Docker Compose best practices for containerized development.

When to Activate

• Setting up Docker Compose for local development
• Designing multi-container architectures
• Troubleshooting container networking or volume issues
• Reviewing Dockerfiles for security and size
• Migrating from local dev to containerized workflow

See REFERENCE.md for Docker Compose setups, multi-stage Dockerfiles, networking, volumes, security hardening, .dockerignore, and debugging commands.
