doca-verbs
From the author
Raw verbs inside DOCA Core (doca-verbs): direct control of QP, CQ, PD, SRQ and address-handle objects through doca_verbs_context, doca_verbs_qp_create / doca_verbs_qp_modify and doca_verbs_cq_create, porting libibverbs code into DOCA Core, or a QP attribute, opcode or WR flag the doca-rdma task API does not expose. Trigger on "raw QP attribute the task API does not expose", "porting libibverbs code", "IO_FAILED on WR submit", "QP state transition rejected", or "attach a congestion-control group", even without naming doca-verbs. Its first job is to route MOST users back up to doca-rdma, doca-eth or doca-rmax. Covers CC-group and Ethernet SQ/RQ primitives, capability queries via doca_verbs_query_device, and DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_verbs_* calls. Refuse and route elsewhere for ordinary doca-rdma / doca-eth / doca-rmax workloads, DOCA install, Core internals, and general libibverbs theory.

- doca-rdmaNVIDIA/skillsRDMA data movement on NVIDIA BlueField/ConnectX NICs (RoCE/InfiniBand) with DOCA RDMA, instead of hand-written libibverbs/rdma_cm. Use when the user moves data between processes or hosts over the NIC, or hits "one-sided read returns permission denied", "completions never arrive after submit", "connection callback never fires", atomic compare-and-swap over RoCE, or DOCA_ERROR_FULL on the send queue under burst, even without naming DOCA RDMA. Covers bringing up an RDMA context on a doca_dev, connection methods (RDMA CM, bridge/OOB, or gRPC exchange of doca_rdma_export()), the eleven task types (Send/Receive/Send-Imm, Read/Write/Write-Imm, Atomic CmpSwap/FetchAdd, Get/Set/Add Remote Sync Event), matching mmap + RDMA permissions, queue and connection sizing, doca_rdma_cap_* queries, and DOCA_ERROR_* from RDMA calls. Raw QP/verbs control belongs to doca-verbs. Refuse and route elsewhere for general RDMA / ibverbs theory (queue pairs, MRs, RoCE vs IB), installing DOCA itself, or non-RDMA DOCA libraries.Writing★ 3.7K
- doca-capsNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user wants to invoke the read-only doca_caps CLI to ask what DOCA sees on this host — listing DOCA devices and PCIe addresses, listing representor devices, asking which DOCA libraries are available on the current OS, checking per-device per-library capabilities, scoping output to a specific PCIe address, or capturing a side-effect-free capability snapshot for debug or install smoke-test. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "doca_caps" or "capabilities print tool" — typical implicit phrasings include "what does DOCA actually see on this box", "is my BlueField PF visible to DOCA", "is Flow available on my RHEL host", "enumerate VF representors for pf0", "doca_caps: command not found", or "empty output for RDMA, is the tool broken". Refuse and route elsewhere for DOCA installation (doca-setup owns it; never walk the steps), library-internal capability matrices (Flow pipe creation, RDMA verbs features), streaming telemetry / DTS, or modifying the shipped binary.Testing★ 3.7K
- doca-mgmtNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Management programming against BlueField / ConnectX devices — standing up a management or representor context (doca_mgmt_dev_ctx / doca_mgmt_dev_rep_ctx), querying device caps (data-direct, caps-general), toggling congestion-control global status, modifying diagnostics-data, setting ICM quotas, or issuing a raw firmware command via doca_mgmt_raw_cmd with the right scope (CONFIGURATION / DEBUG_READ_ONLY / DEBUG_WRITE / DEBUG_WRITE_FULL). Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Management" — typical implicit phrasings include "fleet tool that walks every BlueField and reads device state", "toggle data-direct on a VF", "set an ICM quota per representor", "send a raw firmware command from C", "DOCA_ERROR_IO_FAILED from raw_cmd", or "fwctl ioctl is failing". Refuse and route elsewhere for mlxconfig direct operation, BFB / firmware reflash, streaming telemetry, doca_caps CLI snapshots, or DOCA install itself — those belong to other skills.Engineering★ 3.7K
- doca-dmaNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA DMA programming — bringing up a doca_dma context, configuring the single doca_dma_task_memcpy task type, sizing buffers via the doca_dma_cap_task_memcpy_* queries, setting LOCAL_READ_ONLY / LOCAL_READ_WRITE permissions on source / destination doca_mmap regions (plus doca_mmap_export_* for cross-peer copies), driving the progress engine, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* returns. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA DMA" or "doca_mmap" — typical implicit phrasings include "memcpy host buffer to BlueField without using the CPU", "offload a bulk copy to the DPU", "copy returns NOT_PERMITTED on first submit", "buffer too big for one DMA task", "task submitted but no completion", or "scatter-gather copy between two memory regions". Refuse and route elsewhere for cross-network copies (DOCA RDMA), producer/consumer messaging (DOCA Comch), DOCA Core / progress-engine internals, or DOCA install — those belong to other skills.Engineering★ 3.7K
- doca-gpiNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill for hands-on DOCA GPI programming — wiring a GPU-Packet-Initiator context so a CUDA kernel drives RDMA queues directly from GPU memory without host CPU mediation. Covers picking GPI vs doca-gpunetio, the doca_gpi / domain / channel object model, the GPU-side handle handoff (doca_gpu_gpi_channel*), attaching GPU memory to a GPI domain, the domain and channel attribute objects, and debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_gpi_* calls. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA GPI" — implicit phrasings include "my CUDA kernel needs to post RDMA directly from GPU memory", "DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_gpi_gpu_channel_get", "how do I hand a GPU handle to my CUDA kernel", "how many channels can a GPI domain hold", or "GPU kernel driving RDMA without the host CPU on the path". Refuse and route elsewhere for the doca-gpunetio Send/Receive surface, the doca-rdma queue lifecycle, DPA-side initiation (doca-rdmi), or the CUDA programming model — those belong to other skills.Engineering★ 3.7K
- doca-argpNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill for hands-on DOCA Arg Parser CLI work on a shipped sample or new DOCA-using app — adding / removing / renaming flags; wiring `doca_argp_init` → register params → `doca_argp_start` → `doca_argp_destroy` in order; picking a parameter type from the full public enum (`DOCA_ARGP_TYPE_STRING`, `_INT`, `_BOOLEAN`, `_DEVICE`, `_DEVICE_REP`, `_DOUBLE` — six values, not three); preserving the standard `--device` / `--representor` / `--json` (`-j`; real flag is `--json`, NOT `--json-config`) / `--sdk-log-level` surface; or debugging `DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE` / `INVALID_VALUE` / `NOT_SUPPORTED` / `IO_FAILED` from `doca_argp_*`. Trigger on implicit phrasings: "add a custom flag to a DOCA sample", "should I use getopt here", "BAD_STATE registering a new param", "my JSON config key is rejected", or "my sample's --json is ignored". Refuse and route elsewhere for variadic-flag / subcommand / shell-completion features, DOCA Core context, or DOCA Log internals.Engineering★ 3.7K
