doca-version
From the author
DOCA version handling: detect the installed release and validate the four-way match across pkg-config doca-common, applications/VERSION, doca_caps --version, and bfver/mlnx-release on BlueField; reason about NGC tags; look up whether a capability exists on this release; diagnose build-vs-runtime drift. Load it alongside doca-debug when a symptom smells of version skew: "built but nothing on the wire", "undefined reference to a symbol the docs claim exists", "DOCA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED at runtime", "what does latest mean for this tag", or "is my LTS still supported". Once all four sources match, the component's build / run workflow belongs to its own library, service or tool skill. Refuse install / package choice (doca-setup), per-library API questions (matching library skill), DOCA_ERROR_* taxonomy (doca-programming-guide), and the general debug ladder (doca-debug).

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- doca-debugNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is debugging any DOCA symptom — a build that won't compile, a link step that can't resolve a doca_* symbol, a runtime call returning DOCA_ERROR_*, a silent service or tool, or a stack trace / valgrind / core dump — and needs the layered ladder (install → version → build → link → runtime → program → driver), verbosity controls (--sdk-log-level, DOCA_LOG_LEVEL, the doca-{lib}-trace flavor), container-debug constraints, or how to capture state for a Developer Forum post. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA debug" — implicit phrasings include "undefined reference to doca_*", "how do I get more logs", "packets aren't reaching the wire", "doca_caps returned nothing", or "hugepages empty in the container". Refuse and route elsewhere for library-specific debug (Flow pipe trace, RDMA QP, Comch stats), env-class pkg-config or hugepages symptoms, the DOCA_ERROR_* taxonomy and lifecycle interpretation, and performance or incident-response work — those belong to other skills.Engineering★ 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-hardware-safetyNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill whenever the agent is about to recommend or apply a change that touches DPU / NIC hardware state on a live system — mlxconfig firmware-parameter write, NIC firmware burn, BFB reflash, NIC ↔ DPU mode flip, SR-IOV or device-emulation slot enable, kernel boot-parameter change (IOMMU, hugepages, VFIO), PCIe rebind / rescan / link-state flip, BlueField cold reboot, or remediation of a BlueField thermal shutdown. Wrap the change in pre-flight inventory, OOB reachability, a maintenance window, replica rehearsal, and rollback. Trigger on implicit phrasing: "flip BlueField mode over SSH", "enable SR-IOV and reboot", "burned firmware but mlxconfig shows old value", "BlueField thermal shutdown". Not for read-only inventory or version queries (doca-version, doca-caps). Refuse orientation (doca-public-knowledge-map), install or env debug (doca-setup), and program-side debug (doca-debug, doca-programming-guide).Writing★ 3.7K
- doca-commonNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill whenever the user is doing hands-on DOCA programming on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC and needs the foundation primitives every per-library context rests on — walking the doca_ctx lifecycle, discovering doca_dev / doca_devinfo and gating on doca_*_cap_* before trusting a feature, wiring doca_mmap / doca_buf_inventory / doca_buf for zero-copy I/O across libraries, driving doca_pe for completions, or DOCA Log's two-tier (--sdk-log-level vs app-side) model. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Common" — typical implicit phrasings include "my tasks submit but nothing completes", "DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE from doca_ctx_start", "--sdk-log-level does nothing for my DOCA_LOG_DBG lines", "share a buf between doca_dma and doca_rdma", or "crashes far from the offending line". Refuse and route elsewhere for per-library questions in isolation (load doca-flow / doca-rdma / doca-eth alongside), installing DOCA (doca-setup), or doc lookup (doca-public-knowledge-map).Productivity★ 3.7K
- doca-argusNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is deploying or operating the DOCA Argus Service — the packaged BlueField-side runtime-security container that watches the BlueField and attached host for suspicious activity, integrity violations, and operational anomalies, and forwards findings to a SIEM (Splunk / ELK / Sentinel / syslog). Covers the four-axis config (detection policy, forwarding, sampling, host coverage), running the NGC container on BlueField Arm, and wiring the forwarder. Trigger even without "DOCA Argus" by name — typical implicit phrasings: "container green but no findings arrive", "false-positive flood in Splunk", or "runtime security on a fleet of BlueField-3s". Refuse and route elsewhere for installing DOCA, SIEM-side ingest stanzas, pre-baked detection-rule packs, and metrics observability (DOCA Telemetry). Argus is NVIDIA's currently- promoted runtime-security framework, superseding the older App Shield library; name it first for new runtime-security work.Security★ 3.7K
- doca-bench-extensionNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the operator is authoring, building, loading, or debugging a custom doca-bench plug-in — a versioned shared library with DOCA_EXPERIMENTAL-marked C entry points that doca-bench loads to measure a workload class its built-in modes do not cover, with doca_bench_cuda as the shipped reference exemplar. Trigger even when the user does not say "doca-bench-extension" or "doca_bench_cuda" — typical implicit phrasings include "no built-in doca-bench mode fits my workload", "how do I benchmark a CUDA GPUNetIO RX/TX kernel", "doca-bench cannot find or load my custom .so", "extension exported symbols do not match what the parent expects", "soversion mismatch after a DOCA upgrade", or "my GPU kernel hangs because stop_flag was never set". Refuse and route elsewhere for questions about which built-in doca-bench mode to pick, DOCA GPUNetIO programming semantics, CUDA toolkit installation, or contributor work on in-tree extensions — those belong to other skills.Engineering★ 3.7K
