Hi HN! I built this tool to help me make sure I know exactly what files are going into our Docker images for our on-premise customers. Now I'm also using it to make sure we know what gets shipped with our SDK packages, our public docs mirror, and our agent skills. It also helps keep our own SaaS app images smaller and leaves out any file that we don't explicitly list.

AI agents are helping us ship PRs incredibly quickly now, so it's important to have safeguards like this in place. Otherwise you never know what might end up getting included in your production Docker images.

I also wrote a blog post about it here: https://docspring.com/blog/posts/shiplist-docker-image-files...
