Learn Docker K8s Game
This is an interactive terminal game that teaches Docker and Kubernetes through a narrative about a fictional coffee startup called NoCappuccino Inc. You play through seven chapters, each mixing story beats with real hands-on challenges that verify your work with bash scripts. The AI becomes Sarah, your DevOps mentor, and guides you through containers, multi-stage builds, volumes, networking, Compose, and K8s basics. It runs entirely in your editor using markdown prompts as the game engine, tracks progress in a YAML save file, and enforces a hint system during challenges so you actually have to think. Clever premise and the verification scripts mean you're working with real Docker commands, not just reading docs.

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
Installation
git clone https://github.com/ericboy0224/learn-docker-and-k8s.git
cd learn-docker-and-k8s
Open the directory in your AI editor, then type: "let's play"
