Learn Docker & K8s Game

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

An open-source, AI-driven interactive learning game that teaches Docker, Linux, networking, and Kubernetes through a story-driven simulation. No web app, no video courses — just you, your AI editor, a terminal, and the chaotic coffee startup NoCappuccino Inc.

How It Works

The game runs entirely inside your AI editor. Markdown prompt files in this repo act as the game engine. When a user says "let's play," the AI reads AGENTS.md (or the editor-specific entry point), becomes "Sarah" (the mentor character), and walks the learner through real Docker/K8s scenarios using their actual terminal.

User says "let's play"
    → AI reads AGENTS.md + engine/rules.md + engine/narrator.md
    → AI becomes Sarah, the senior DevOps mentor
    → Story begins: Dave broke staging, fix it with containers
    → Lessons → Challenges → verify.sh → next chapter
