The Modern AI Stack: What are MCP, Skills, Docker, and APIs (and Why Your Project Needs Them)

4Ruy Enterprise Architecture - Modern AI Stack Blueprint: MCP, Skills, Docker & Governance Engine
Author: Rodrigo Ernesto Hernandez Buitrago
Description:
    Production-grade reference implementation demonstrating the 5 layers of the Modern AI Stack:
    1. Intelligence (Model contract & system prompting)
    2. Skills (Domain procedure and execution contract)
    3. MCP Protocol (Model Context Protocol JSON-RPC tool exposure)
    4. Containerized Sandboxing (Docker isolated runtime emulation)
    5. Zero-Trust Governance & Audit (Permission gateway, egress blocking, schema enforcement)
