Individual skill
docker-ros2-development
Best practices for Docker-based ROS2 development including multi-stage Dockerfiles, docker-compose for multi-container robotic systems, DDS discovery across containers, GPU passthrough for perception, and dev-vs-deploy container patterns. Use this skill when containerizing ROS2 workspaces, setting up docker-compose for robot software stacks, debugging DDS communication between containers, configuring NVIDIA Container Toolkit for GPU workloads, forwarding X11/Wayland for rviz2 and GUI tools, or managing USB device passthrough for cameras and serial devices. Trigger whenever the user mentions Docker with ROS2, docker-compose for robots, Dockerfile for colcon workspaces, container networking for DDS, devcontainer for ROS2, multi-stage builds for ROS2, or deploying ROS2 in containers. Also trigger for CI/CD with Docker-based ROS2 builds, CycloneDDS or FastDDS configuration in containers, or shared memory in Docker. Covers Humble, Jazzy, and Rolling distributions across Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 base images.
