The Optimize AI Agents: Docker Agent Config Skill Guide assists developers in creating or editing agent configuration files specifically for Docker Agent (cagent). This skill focuses on defining various agent properties and managing configurations to effectively declare AI agents using YAML, YML, or HCL files.

What this skill does

• Facilitates the creation, editing, or reviewing of agent.yaml, agent.yml, and agent.hcl files.
• Assists in adding tools or toolsets, configuring MCP servers, and defining sub-agents within an agent configuration.
• Supports configuration of models and providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Bedro.
• Governs agent.yaml artifacts, including the agents section and model/provider sections referenced from agents.
• Manages built-in toolsets like filesystem, shell, think, todo, memory, and fetch, as well as MCP toolset references and named commands.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and technical teams working with AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It is particularly beneficial for those looking to efficiently manage AI agent configurations using Docker Agent.

Use cases

• Setting up a new AI agent within a Docker environment, ensuring appropriate configurations are applied.
• Modifying existing AI agent configurations to include new tools or providers.
• Organizing multi-agent teams by defining sub-agents and toolsets, optimizing collaborative workflows.
• Configuring and refining AI models/providers to align with specific project requirements.
