# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Docker CLI

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `docker`.

## What this CLI is for
The official CLI from Docker. Containers, images, and compose workflows from the terminal. Supports structured output — good for scripts and agents.

Best for: containers, images, and compose workflows from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Great for agents (75/100)
- Structured output is available for parsing.
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.

## Install
```sh
brew install --cask docker
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
docker version
```
Expected signal: Docker responds and the daemon is reachable.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
docker version
```

```sh
docker run hello-world
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Require confirmation before apply, delete, deploy, transfer, merge, or write actions.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Docker CLI (`docker`) for containers, images, and compose workflows from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
