doca-spcx-cc
From the author
Use this skill when the user is invoking `doca_spcx_cc` (the host-side CLI under /opt/mellanox/doca/tools/) to load, parameterize, start, observe, or stop a Programmable Congestion Control (SPCX) algorithm on a BlueField with a DPA processor against a live RDMA / RoCE fabric, or picking SPCX vs the established `doca-pcc` surface. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA SPCX" or "doca_spcx_cc" — typical implicit phrasings include "I want to write a custom RTT-based CC algorithm for my RoCE fabric", "my SPCX session loaded but throughput / latency didn't change", "doca_pcc status shows Active but factory CC seems to still be in charge", "DOCA_PCC_PS_ERROR on start", "is the programmable-CC surface available on my install", or "DPA-side algorithm image won't load". Refuse and route elsewhere for DPA-side algorithm authoring detail, factory PCC firmware configuration, read-only PCC counter inspection, raw DPA cycle profiling, RDMA library programming, or general DOCA install — those belong to other skills.

- doca-pccNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on host-side DOCA PCC work to load a CUSTOM Programmable Congestion Control algorithm onto a BlueField DPU — creating per-port `doca_pcc` contexts, loading a `dpacc`-compiled `doca_pcc_app` onto the `doca_dev` for the RoCE-bearing port, parameterizing it, walking triple-axis capability discovery (DOCA cap-query + DPA-capable BlueField + firmware custom-PCC slot enabled), or debugging `DOCA_ERROR_*` from `doca_pcc_*`. Trigger even without explicit "DOCA PCC" phrasing — implicit forms include "loading my own congestion control onto a BF port", "DOCA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED on algorithm load", "DOCA_ERROR_DRIVER when I attach my custom algorithm", "my custom rate-update isn't affecting RoCE traffic", or "load succeeds but no on-wire change". Refuse and route elsewhere for DPA-side algorithm-body design, the `pcc_counters` CLI, default factory PCC in ConnectX firmware, or setting up the RDMA / RoCE traffic — those belong to other skills.Design★ 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-pcc-ztr-rttcc-algoNVIDIA/skillsDOCA-shipped Zero-Touch RoCE RTT congestion control (ZTR RTTCC) reference algorithm on a BlueField-3 DPA: deploy, tune and evaluate doca_pcc_dev_ztr_rttcc_algo through the shipped DOCA PCC sample. Trigger on "my RoCE-v2 flows aren't being throttled", "PCC sample isn't dispatching to my algo", "set-params returns fail", "algorithm loaded but counters are flat", "how do I pick the multipath PCC variant", or "do I need a custom CC algorithm on BF3", even without naming ZTR RTTCC. Your own algorithm through the host library belongs to doca-pcc; the doca_spcx_cc command line to doca-spcx-cc. Covers picking a variant (vanilla / PM / RX-rate / multipath / window-probeless) at DPACC build time, tuning host-set parameters, and DOCA_PCC_DEV_STATUS_FAIL from the algorithm. Refuse and route elsewhere for writing a custom PCC algorithm from scratch, read-only PCC counter inspection, or firmware-only pre-Programmable PCC.DevOps★ 3.7K
- doca-dpaNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA DPA host-side work on a BlueField — creating the `doca_dpa` Core context, loading a DPACC-compiled DPA app image (`doca_dpa_app`), creating DPA threads, launching kernels via `doca_dpa_kernel_launch_update_*`, draining `doca_dpa_completion`, running `doca_dpa_cap_*` discovery, choosing between the DPA comm component (inter-DPA messaging) and the DPA verbs component (in-kernel RDMA), or debugging `DOCA_ERROR_*` from `doca_dpa_*`. Trigger even without "DOCA DPA" or "Data-Path Accelerator": "run compute on the DPA from my host", "DPA kernel hangs, no completion", "DOCA_ERROR_DRIVER on launch", "DOCA/DPACC version skew", or "does this BlueField expose a DPA". Route elsewhere for DPA-side kernel programming itself, DPACC compiler internals, host↔DPU messaging (doca-comch), host-side RDMA (doca-rdma), and GPU-initiated networking (doca-gpunetio).Media★ 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
