What it does
When you ask your AI agent to containerize a .NET web project, this skill tells it to package the app into a Docker container image that runs on Linux. The agent reads your .csproj file to find the .NET version, picks an official Microsoft base image, and writes a multi-stage Dockerfile that builds and publishes the app, then copies the output into a smaller runtime image that runs as a non-root user. It also asks the agent to make app settings readable from environment variables and to create a progress.md file tracking the changes.
Great for
- ASP.NET Core developers who want a working Dockerfile without writing it from scratch
- Teams moving existing .NET web apps into Docker or Kubernetes-style hosting
- Developers who want a checklist of container best practices applied to their project
Skip it if
- Non-.NET projects, since it only targets ASP.NET Core (.NET) applications
- Users expecting infrastructure setup, which the skill explicitly excludes; it covers only the container files and needs the agent to edit your project files, so review changes before committing
- Production deployments without review, because generated Dockerfiles and base image tags should be checked by someone who knows the app
Try asking
- “Containerize the ASP.NET Core project at src/WebApi/WebApi.csproj for .NET 8 on Alpine”
- “Create a multi-stage Dockerfile for my ASP.NET Core app that listens on port 8080 and runs as the default non-root user”
- “Add a Dockerfile and .dockerignore for my .NET project, with a health check at /health”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Fill in the settings section (project path, .NET version, Linux distribution, ports) before asking the agent to run it, since unspecified settings fall back to defaults
- Review the generated Dockerfile and any edits to app configuration files, and build the image locally to verify it
- Provide private NuGet feed details and any system packages explicitly, because the skill will not guess them
