docker-agent-config

Use this skill when creating or editing an agent.yaml (or .yml/.hcl) configuration file for Docker Agent (cagent), including defining agents, models/providers, built-in or MCP toolsets, multi-agent teams with sub_agents. Even if the user just says they want to "build an AI agent with Docker", "make a coding agent config", "add a tool to my agent", or "set up a team of agents", this skill applies. Covers agent properties (model, instruction, toolsets, sub_agents, fallback), the models/providers sections, built-in toolsets (filesystem, shell, think, todo, memory, fetch), MCP toolset references, and named commands.

Compatibility

Requires the docker-agent CLI plugin (Docker Desktop 4.63+, or standalone via Homebrew/GitHub releases). Verified against docker-agent as shipped with Docker CLI 29.7.2. Config directories still use the legacy `cagent` name (`~/.config/cagent`, `~/.cagent`).
