Skills

apple-container

Run Linux containers on macOS with Apple's container CLI — the per-VM, Apple-silicon-native alternative to Docker Desktop. Covers the full command set, networking and DNS, migrating off Docker Desktop, multi-container orchestration with Container-Compose, and troubleshooting.

The skill uses progressive disclosure: a lean SKILL.md for the everyday workflow, with depth in references/:

File	Covers
SKILL.md	Quick start, command cheat sheet, top migration gotchas
references/commands.md	Full command reference, every flag
references/networking.md	Networking model, DNS, host↔container traffic, macOS 15 limits
references/docker-migration.md	Docker Desktop migration gotchas
references/container-compose.md	Container-Compose field support matrix
references/troubleshooting.md	Errors, hard limitations, TOML config
