Windsurf Dockerfile Generation

Overview

This skill enables AI-assisted Docker configuration within Windsurf. Cascade analyzes your application to generate optimized Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds, minimal base images, proper layer caching, and security best practices. It supports Node.js, Python, Go, Java, and other common runtimes with framework-specific optimizations.

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
Docker installed locally
Application with defined dependencies
Understanding of containerization concepts
Target deployment environment defined

Instructions
