Devcontainer Setup Skill

Creates a pre-configured devcontainer with Claude Code and language-specific tooling.

When to Use

  • User asks to "set up a devcontainer" or "add devcontainer support"
  • User wants a sandboxed Claude Code development environment
  • User needs isolated development environments with persistent configuration

When NOT to Use

  • User already has a devcontainer configuration and just needs modifications
  • User is asking about general Docker or container questions
  • User wants to deploy production containers (this is for development only)

Workflow

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
