Docker & CI/CD OpenAI Custom Instructions

Production-grade architectural rulebook for Docker & CI/CD. Engineered to eliminate LLM hallucinations, enforce strict deterministic conventions, and prevent architectural drift across Cursor IDE, Claude Code CLI, and autonomous multi-agent pipelines.

Failure Patterns Prevented for Docker & CI/CD

Without This Rule (Default LLM Behavior)Vulnerable

LLMs frequently write bloated, insecure single-stage Dockerfiles running as root. These rules enforce multi-stage builds, non-root users, and caching layers.

Hallucination Symptoms
  • Invokes deprecated or removed APIs from older model training weights
  • Generates conflicting configuration files and invalid imports
  • Silently drops type-safety, boundaries, or transaction isolation
With This Rule (Guaranteed Invariants)Deterministic
Always use multi-stage Docker builds to separate builder tools from the lean production image.
Never run containers as root; create and switch to a non-privileged user (`USER node` or `USER app`).
Pin base image versions explicitly; avoid mutable `:latest` tags.
Leverage layer caching by copying package manifests before source code.

How to Install Docker & CI/CD OpenAI Custom Instructions via Terminal

1

Step 1: Open Project Directory & Verify Target Placement

Open your terminal and navigate to your project root folder where the prompts/openai-custom-instructions.md file will reside. Ensure the file is placed at the exact path below relative to your project root so the AI engine automatically loads it:

prompts/openai-custom-instructions.md
2

Step 2: Fetch Rule File via Terminal Command

Run curl, PowerShell, or wget to stream the rule directly from the DevScratchpad raw API endpoint and write it to prompts/openai-custom-instructions.md:

Terminal One-Liner Install

Run directly in your project root to stream and write this rule file with one command.

Raw API Stream
$mkdir -p "prompts" && curl -fsSL "https://www.devscratchpad.tech/api/raw/openai-instructions/docker-devops" -o "prompts/openai-custom-instructions.md"

Step 3: Verify and Activate with AI Agent

Launch your AI coding assistant (Universal AI Assistants). The assistant will automatically discover prompts/openai-custom-instructions.md in your repository and apply the architectural guardrails, type constraints, and verification protocols during code generation.

Technical FAQ: Docker & CI/CD AI Rulebooks

Why should containers run as non-root?

Running as non-root mitigates container escape vulnerabilities and follows the principle of least privilege.
