docker-env-manager
Use this skill whenever the user wants to pull, run, build, compose, list, prune, manage, or otherwise handle Docker containers, images, volumes, networks, or Docker Compose projects, or when a NeuroClaw skill (e.g. wmh-segmentation, freesurfer-processor in container mode) requires a clean, isolated, GPU-enabled Docker environment (e.g. 'pull mars-wmh image', 'run container with GPU', 'docker compose up', 'prune unused images', 'build custom dockerfile', 'manage nvidia docker'). Triggers include: 'docker run', 'docker pull', 'docker compose', 'docker build', 'docker env', 'manage container', '

# Docker Environment Manager (Tool Layer) ## Overview Docker is the backbone for reproducible, containerized, GPU-accelerated environments in NeuroClaw — especially for deep-learning and neuroimaging skills (MARS-WMH nnU-Net, future nnU-Net models, containerized FreeSurfer, etc.) that require exact runtime isolation, NVIDIA GPU passthrough, and large pre-built images. This skill acts as the **interface-layer orchestrator** for all common Docker operations, preventing permission issues, GPU misconfiguration, port conflicts, and storage bloat while enforcing best practices (named containers, volume mounts, `--gpus all`, docker-compose for multi-service stacks, dry-run previews, and safe pruning). **Strict workflow (never skipped):** 1. Parse user intent from the request or context (pull / run / build / compose / prune / list / cleanup). 2. Detect current Docker setup (`docker --version`, `docker info`, NVIDIA Container Toolkit via `nvidia-smi` through `claw-shell`, available disk space, GPU status). 3. Propose a safe, best-practice plan: - Always prefer named containers/volumes over anonymous ones - Suggest `--gpus all` + volume mounts for NeuroClaw GPU skills - Recommend `docker-com

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill docker-env-manager --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
