⚠ 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
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- 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-deployRewrites 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?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 28, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works.

- What is the xCloud Docker Deploy SkillProof Score?
- 7.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 3/5.
- 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.
