This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 28, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Fed it a deliberately hostile compose file - Caddy on 80/443, two build: services, Postgres and Redis published to the host - and rule-checked both results with a script: the no-skill baseline still carried 6 violations (kept Caddy, kept both build: directives, still bound 80 and 443) while the skill's output carried zero and collapsed everything to a single 3080:80 mapping behind an nginx-router, plus a GHCR matrix workflow and an .env.example. The README's own install command fails from a clean HOME because it copies into ~/.claude/skills before that directory exists, so use the command listed here instead. The nginx snippet the skill tells you to emit writes proxy_set_header Host $host inside a compose configs.content block without doubling the $, which Compose will interpolate away to an empty value. The platform rules themselves - that xCloud never runs docker build and owns 80/443 - could not be confirmed against a live xCloud account, so the measured win is structural rather than a verified deploy.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 6/10
  • Docs & honesty 3/5

What xCloud Docker Deploy does

Converts a normal docker-compose.yml into one xCloud's Custom Docker runtime can actually deploy: strips build: directives in favour of pre-built GHCR images, removes bundled Caddy/Traefik/nginx-proxy services, and normalises everything to a single non-reserved host port behind an nginx-router. It also generates the GitHub Actions image-build workflow, an .env.example derived from the compose variables, and the step-by-step xCloud deploy instructions. Triggers on requests to deploy or fix a project for xCloud, or to make a compose file work on a git-push Docker host.

How to install xCloud Docker Deploy

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Commands — how to trigger xCloud Docker Deploy

  • /xcloud-docker-deploy Rewrites docker-compose for xCloud: no build:, no port 80/443, one exposed port

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Make this docker-compose.yml work on xCloud's custom Docker runtime
  • Deploy this Next.js app to xCloud, generate the Dockerfile and compose
  • xCloud says my container isn't reachable, my compose still binds port 80

Frequently asked questions

Is the xCloud Docker Deploy skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from Asif2BD/xCloud-Docker-Deploy-Skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does xCloud Docker Deploy work with Claude Code?

How do I install xCloud Docker Deploy?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use xCloud Docker Deploy with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
