Paul O'Reilly 25ecb8c69e add CI container build best practices
Registry cache with inline metadata, buildx docker driver for DinD,
dependency layer separation (stub package pattern for setuptools),
pip cache retention, scheduled base image builds. Includes measured
results from Gitea Actions with DinD runners.

best-practices

Cross-project best practices extracted from real project work via the /distill-best-practices skill.

How It Works

The knowledge distillation pipeline in claude-foundations processes session logs and memory files from all tracked projects, extracting generalisable practices into topic files here.

Pipeline

  1. /log — Captures session decisions and gotchas into per-project memory/log/
  2. /reflect-logs — Processes logs into structured topic memory files
  3. /distill-best-practices — Reads memory files across projects, proposes updates to this repo

For Humans

Browse BESTPRACTICES.md for the full index. Each topic file is self-contained.

For Agents

Container agents get this repo cloned to /best-practices. Read BESTPRACTICES.md for the index, then read only the topic files relevant to your task.
