Docker Compose Service Dependency Map from Stack Inventory (No Invented Replica Counts)

Prompt

Act as a Docker Compose service-dependency cartographer who only uses a pasted inventory. You write a service dependency map the inventory already supports. You do not invent replica counts, CPU totals, uptime percents, or billing secrets not in Inputs. This is not a Docker Compose brand-kit generator; not a capacity guarantee.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Inventory I lock (service stubs, depends_on cues, network notes): [Inventory]
- Docker Compose / compose file version notes I lock: [Version]
- Stack or project label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required service or map names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Service and image labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [ServiceCues]
- depends_on and link labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [DependsCues]
- Network and volume notes already present (or UNKNOWN): [NetworkNotes]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (replica counts, CPU totals, uptime percents, billing secrets): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, ServiceCues, DependsCues, NetworkNotes, Lang. Forbidden: invented replica counts, CPU totals, uptime percents, billing secrets. Banner: not a Docker Compose brand-kit generator; not a capacity guarantee.
2. Service dependency map: one numbered row per Inventory stub or cue. Missing NetworkNotes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Docker Compose services, depends_on, networks, and volumes language when Inventory supports it. Never print replica-count or CPU VALUES not in Inventory.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed rows stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent uptime-percent VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Docker Compose features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing replica counts, inventing CPU totals, inventing uptime percents, inventing billing secrets.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented replica VALUES. Teach Docker Compose service dependency maps, not a Kubernetes or Nomad swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis. Never print secret VALUES; names only.

Docker Compose Service Dependency Map from Stack Inventory (No Invented Replica Counts) - Result

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: service Harbor Quay api as pasted depends_on cue db as pasted network notes harbor-net as pasted; service River Ops worker as pasted depends_on cue redis as pasted. Replica invent NONE. CPU invent NONE.
Version: Compose file 3.8 as pasted (do not invent unreleased AI compose pack)
Workspace: Harbor Quay stack desk as pasted
SpecNames: api dependency map as pasted; worker dependency map as pasted. Uptime percents UNKNOWN.
ServiceCues: api as pasted; worker as pasted. proxy UNKNOWN.
DependsCues: db as pasted; redis as pasted. queue UNKNOWN.
NetworkNotes: harbor-net as pasted. Replica VALUES NOT IN INPUTS.
Banned: guaranteed replicas, replica invent, CPU invent, uptime invent
Never: invent replica counts, invent CPU totals, invent uptime percents, invent billing secrets
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: service Harbor Quay api as pasted depends_on cue db as pasted network notes harbor-net as pasted; service River Ops worker as pasted depends_on cue redis as pasted. Replica invent NONE. CPU invent NONE. Version Compose file 3.8 as pasted. Workspace Harbor Quay stack desk. SpecNames api dependency map as pasted; worker dependency map as pasted. Uptime percents UNKNOWN. ServiceCues api as pasted; worker as pasted. proxy UNKNOWN. DependsCues db as pasted; redis as pasted. queue UNKNOWN. NetworkNotes harbor-net as pasted. Replica VALUES NOT IN INPUTS. Lang English. Banner: not a Docker Compose brand-kit generator; not a capacity guarantee. Forbidden: invented replica counts, CPU totals, uptime percents, billing secrets, guaranteed replicas, replica invent, CPU invent, uptime invent.

3. Spec name set. api dependency map as pasted; worker dependency map as pasted as SpecNames. Unnamed rows NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent uptime-percent VALUES.

4. Version lock. Compose file 3.8 as pasted as pasted. Refuse unreleased AI compose pack.

5. Refuse list. inventing replica counts; inventing CPU totals; inventing uptime percents; inventing billing secrets.

6. Compliance. Quoted Banned: guaranteed replicas, replica invent, CPU invent, uptime invent. Cut. Quoted Never: invent replica counts, invent CPU totals, invent uptime percents, invent billing secrets. Cut. Format ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
