  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by edutrul on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Docker Local AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/edutrul/drupal-ai/tree/main/.claude/skills/docker-local
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/edutrul/drupal-ai.git /tmp/drupal-ai
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/drupal-ai/.claude/skills/docker-local .claude/skills/docker-local
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Docker Local in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Docker Local on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Docker Local is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Docker Compose Local Development

You are working with custom Docker Compose local development environments (non-DDEV).

Environment Detection

bash
ls -la docker-compose*.yml compose*.yml .env* Makefile docker/ scripts/ 2>/dev/null

Common Commands

bash
docker compose up -d              # Start in background
docker compose up -d --build      # Start with rebuild
docker compose down               # Stop and remove containers
docker compose down -v            # Also remove volumes (DATA LOSS!)
docker compose exec <service> <cmd>
docker compose run --rm <service> <cmd>  # One-off (if not running)
docker compose ps && docker compose logs -f <service>

Drupal Docker Patterns

Service TypeCommon Names
PHP/Webphp, web, app, drupal, php-fpm
Databasedb, mysql, mariadb, postgres
Cacheredis, memcached
Searchsolr, elasticsearch
bash
# Drush
docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/drush cr

# MySQL import/export
docker compose exec -T db mysql -u root -p<password> <database> < dump.sql
docker compose exec db mysqldump -u root -p<password> <database> > dump.sql

Troubleshooting

bash
# Port conflicts
sudo lsof -i :80

# Container won't start
docker compose logs <service>
docker compose down && docker compose up -d --build

# Permissions
docker compose exec php chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/web/sites/default/files

# Network: containers reach each other by service name (e.g. host: db)
docker network inspect <project>_default

Environment Variables

Docker Compose auto-loads .env:

env
COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=myproject
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
MYSQL_DATABASE=drupal

Performance on macOS: use :cached volume flag and named volumes for vendor/.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Docker Local AI skill do?

Custom Docker Compose local development patterns. Use when working with Docker-based local environments, container configuration, or troubleshooting Docker setups.

Why use Docker Local on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Docker Local is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Docker Local in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/edutrul/drupal-ai/tree/main/.claude/skills/docker-local. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Docker Local?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Docker Local?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Docker Local with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Docker Local AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by edutrul under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
