Verified Agent Skills sorted by source update date. This is where newly published SKILL.md files should surface first.
Doca Public Knowledge Map
Use this skill when the user needs to locate authoritative information about NVIDIA DOCA without access to the source tree — finding the right docs.nvidia.com page for a library/service/tool, identifying which DOCA libraries are installed and at what version, locating a sample on disk or its public GitHub source, decoding an on-disk path under /opt/mellanox/doca, or recovering from a 404'd or renamed doc URL. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention 'DOCA' or 'docs.nvidia.com' — typical implicit phrasings include 'where can I read about this library', 'which version do I have installed', 'where is the sample for X', 'this NVIDIA URL is broken what is the new one', 'what is in /opt/mellanox/doca', or 'where can I ask NVIDIA about this'. Refuse and route elsewhere for hands-on programming patterns, env prep and install verification, library API tutorials, or hardware/firmware mutation — those belong to doca-programming-guide, doca-setup, the per-library skills, and doca-hardware-safety.
Doca Rdma
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA RDMA programming on a BlueField DPU, ConnectX NIC, or DOCA host — bringing up an RDMA context on a doca_dev, picking a connection method (RDMA CM, bridge/OOB, or gRPC exchange of doca_rdma_export()), enabling one of the eleven task types (Send/Receive/Send-Imm, Read/Write/Write-Imm, Atomic CmpSwap/FetchAdd, Get/Set/Add Remote Sync Event), setting matching mmap + RDMA permissions, sizing queues and connections, querying doca_rdma_cap_*, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from an RDMA call. Trigger even when the user does not mention "DOCA RDMA" — typical implicit phrasings include "one-sided read returns permission denied", "completions never arrive after submit", "connection callback never fires", "how do I do atomic compare-and-swap over RoCE", or "send queue hits DOCA_ERROR_FULL under burst". Refuse and route elsewhere for general RDMA / ibverbs theory (queue pairs, MRs, RoCE vs IB), installing DOCA itself, or non-RDMA DOCA libraries.
Doca Rdmi
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA RDMI (RDMA Initiator) programming — picking doca-rdmi vs doca-rdma for an accelerator-initiated one-sided RDMA flow, standing up a doca_rdmi_connection or doca_rdmi_poster, attaching a doca_dpa_completion or doca_verbs_cq before doca_ctx_start(), retrieving the DPA-side handle for a DPA kernel, auditing whether a doca_rdmi_* symbol is EXPERIMENTAL on this DOCA, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* returns from RDMI calls. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA RDMI" or "initiator" — implicit phrasings include "my DPA kernel needs to post RDMA writes to a remote responder", "DPA kernel sees no completions", "function not found on doca_rdmi_* at link time", "DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE from completion attach", or "the DPA posted but the work request never arrived". Refuse and route elsewhere for two-sided or host-CPU RDMA, the DPA programming model, GPU-side RDMA initiation, or general RDMA/IB/RoCE concepts — those belong to other skills.
Doca Rmax
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Rivermax work on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX host — standing up `doca_rmax_in_stream` (receive) sessions for timing-precise media-over-IP (SMPTE ST 2110 video/audio, market data, scientific feeds), confirming the Rivermax SDK + license precondition before any DOCA-side code, running `doca_rmax_get_*_supported` capability queries, pairing with `doca-eth` queues and `doca-flow` steering, or debugging `DOCA_ERROR_*` from a Rivermax call. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA Rivermax" or "rmax" — implicit phrasings include "ST 2110 receive isn't getting frames", "sub-microsecond jitter on BlueField", "NOT_SUPPORTED from doca_rmax_init", "no recv events after stream start", or "license check failing on a media receiver". Refuse and route elsewhere for installing the Rivermax SDK or its license, programming the underlying queue (`doca-eth`), steering rules (`doca-flow`), or best-effort packet I/O — those belong to other skills.
Doca Setup
Use this skill when the user is dealing with the DOCA environment around their workload — verifying an install is healthy, preparing the build env (pkg-config, headers, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, hugepages, devlink, representors), debugging env-class failures, deciding container-vs-bare-metal deployment shape, or reaching a DOCA install from a host that doesn't have one yet via the NGC DOCA container Stage-1 fallback. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA setup" — typical implicit phrasings include "I just got a BlueField, what now", "my code is built, how do I run it", "pkg-config can't find doca-flow", "no free 2048 kB hugepages", "representor X not found", "I'm on a Mac and want to learn DOCA". Refuse and route elsewhere for library API specifics (Flow pipes, RDMA queues), the modify-a-sample first-app workflow or DOCA_ERROR_* program-side debugging, and "where is X documented" knowledge-map questions — those belong to other skills.
Doca Sha
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA SHA programming — offloading SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512 hashing onto a BlueField DPU or ConnectX accelerator, picking between one-shot `doca_sha_task_hash` and incremental `doca_sha_task_partial_hash`, querying `doca_sha_cap_*` for algorithm support and min destination / max source buffer sizes, setting source / destination `doca_mmap` permissions, or decoding DOCA_ERROR_* returns from the SHA API. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA SHA" or "doca_sha_task" — typical implicit phrasings include "hash a multi-GiB file on the DPU", "offload SHA-256 to the BlueField", "streaming hash over chunks", "partial hash returns BAD_STATE", "destination buffer too small for digest", or "is SHA-512 available on this card". Refuse and route elsewhere for general cryptographic-hash theory (collision resistance, SHA-3 selection), other DOCA crypto libraries (AES-GCM, Compress, DMA), or DOCA install / BFB bring-up — those belong to other skills.
Doca Sha Offload Engine
Use this skill when wiring the DOCA SHA Offload Engine (an OpenSSL ENGINE) into an existing OpenSSL pipeline to offload one-shot SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512 (EVP_Digest) onto DOCA SHA hardware without rewriting against doca-sha. Covers engine load mechanics (`openssl engine dynamic`, `set_pci_addr` ctrl, `-engine_impl`), the SHA-224 negative test that proves offload engaged, the message-size window where offload beats CPU SHA, and engine-vs-library selection. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA SHA Offload Engine" or "OpenSSL ENGINE" — typical implicit phrasings: "speed up openssl SHA on BlueField", "offload SHA without code changes", "is openssl using the accelerator or falling back to software", "prove DOCA SHA actually ran", "openssl dgst hashed but I'm not sure it was offloaded". Refuse and route elsewhere for new SHA pipelines (use doca-sha), MD5 / SHA-3 / SHA-224 / HMAC-SHA offload, incremental hashing via chained `EVP_DigestUpdate`, or OpenSSL PROVIDER authoring.
Doca Socket Relay
Use this skill when the operator is driving the DOCA Socket Relay to bridge a socket-oriented host application onto a BlueField DPU peer without rewriting it — picking the deployment shape (in-process, sidecar, or BlueField service container), configuring the host-side socket and the DPU-side forwarding endpoint, walking the bind → connect → round-trip → admit-fleet smoke, or diagnosing a stuck/silent relay. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA Socket Relay" — typical implicit phrasings include "move my socket app onto the BlueField without rewriting it", "host app gets ECONNREFUSED on the relay", "relay accepts the connection but bytes never arrive on the DPU side", "first round-trip works, the rest hang", "bridge an AF_UNIX (UDS) socket to a DPU peer over Comch", or "I want a sidecar that forwards my socket to the BlueField". Refuse and route elsewhere for the comch programming API, line-rate raw packet I/O via doca-eth, and DOCA install/bring-up — those belong to other skills.
Doca Spcx Cc
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 Sta
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on NVMe-over-Fabrics storage-target work on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC with DOCA STA — standing up a doca_sta DOCA Core context that accelerates the target-side NVMe-oF data path over RDMA, defining doca_sta_subsystem targets (NQN + namespaces) backed by local NVMe-PCI backend disks (doca_sta_be), checking device support via doca_sta_cap_is_supported, sizing the per-connection I/O queues, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from a STA call. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA STA" — typical implicit phrasings include "my NVMe-oF Connect never completes", "Identify Controller times out over RoCE", "16 I/O queues at depth 1024 — does this BlueField support that", "offload the nvmf target onto the DPU", or "DOCA_ERROR_IO_FAILED on an NVMe read". Refuse and route elsewhere for DOCA install, raw RDMA data movement, raw packet I/O, flow-rule programming, or initiator-side / host NVMe stack work — those belong to other skills.
Doca Structured Tools Contract
Use this skill whenever another DOCA skill says "prefer the structured tool per doca-structured-tools-contract", or when the user wants a one-shot answer that consolidates info multiple manual commands would produce — DOCA env / version / devices / capabilities / validate / host vs DPU state. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "structured tool" or "doca-env --json" — typical implicit phrasings include "is there one command that tells me everything about my DOCA install", "what version is X capability available since", "every PF/VF/SF visible on this BlueField with PCIe address", "will this pipe pass validate before commit", "diff host vs DPU state", or "why does the agent give a one-line answer on host A and five commands on host B". Refuse and route elsewhere for general DOCA orientation, specific library API how-to, or install-from-scratch guidance — those belong to the per-library skill, doca-public-knowledge-map, or doca-setup.
Doca Telemetry
Use this skill to read DOCA hardware-counter events from a `doca_dev` through the per-domain Telemetry reader libraries: `doca_telemetry_pcc`, `_dpa`, `_diag`, `_adp_retx`, `_phy`, and `_pci`. It covers capability checks, context creation, startup, and per-domain reads or samples. Trigger for implicit requests such as "read PCC counters from my BlueField app", "sample DPA counter exports", or "expose PHY, PCI, or DIAG counters from this doca_dev". This is the counter-reader surface, not a NetFlow, IPFIX, or local-socket collector. Route publishing and export to `doca-telemetry-exporter`; route deployed DOCA Telemetry Service (DTS), collectors, and plain stdout logging elsewhere.
Doca Telemetry Exporter
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Telemetry Exporter programming on a host where DOCA is installed — defining a doca_telemetry_exporter_schema and event types, creating sources, picking a publish surface (typed events / opaque events / the metrics counter-gauge-histogram API / OTLP logs / NetFlow), walking the schema-then-source lifecycle, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* failures from the exporter API. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA Telemetry Exporter" or "doca_telemetry_exporter_*" — typical implicit phrasings include "publishing counters from my DOCA app", "BAD_STATE when I report an event", "consumer/DTS sees nothing but my report succeeded", "how do I export NetFlow/IPFIX records", or "should I link the exporter or the telemetry service". Refuse and route elsewhere for the receiving DOCA Telemetry Service (DTS), plain stdout logging via doca_log, or real-time event subscription back into the app via doca-comch — those belong to other skills.
Doca Telemetry Utils
Use this skill when the user is invoking `doca_telemetry_utils` on a host with DOCA installed — discovering the diagnostic-counter schema, translating counter names to binary Data IDs, validating per-device counter support before committing a DOCA Telemetry exporter config, or reverse-resolving a captured Data ID. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "doca_telemetry_utils" or "Data ID" — typical implicit phrasings include "my exporter ships but the collector sees nothing", "this metric silently drops downstream", "which counters does this BlueField expose", "translate this 0x... back to a counter name", "what do node / pcie_index / depth mean here", or "is this counter supported on this device before I commit it". Refuse and route elsewhere for developer-side collector / exporter library programming, DTS deployment, or DOCA install / repair — those belong to doca-telemetry, doca-public-knowledge-map, and doca-setup.
Doca Upgrade
Use this skill when the user is contemplating a DOCA upgrade or downgrade — moving a host to a newer DOCA release, refreshing the BlueField BFB, bumping the NGC DOCA container tag, or rolling back. The discipline is detect → report → ASK → only-then guided upgrade: detect what is installed, discover what newer release exists, report the gap, then STOP and ask for explicit confirmation — never upgrade automatically. Trigger even without the word "upgrade": "is there a newer DOCA", "should I move to the next release", "I want the latest features", "my component is being deprecated, what now", or "roll me back". Route elsewhere for version detection (doca-version), first-time install (doca-setup), any hardware/firmware/reboot step (doca-hardware-safety), and public-docs / sunset routing (doca-public-knowledge-map).
Doca Urom
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA UROM library work from the host side — wiring doca-urom under an HPC / UCX / MPI stack to OFFLOAD remote memory operations (puts, gets, atomics, collectives) onto a BlueField DPU, creating a UROM Service context (doca_urom_service_*) and Worker contexts (doca_urom_worker_*) that run plugins on the DPU, discovering plugins via doca_urom_service_get_plugins_list, progressing completions, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from a doca_urom_* call. Trigger even without "DOCA UROM": "MPI all-reduce burning host CPU", "push UCX traffic onto the BlueField", "first doca_urom call returns NOT_PERMITTED", or "host library and DPU service look out of sync". Route elsewhere for UROM Service deployment on the DPU side, MPI / UCX collective algorithm design, and RDMA / RoCE / IB substrate bring-up.
Doca Urom Svc
Operate the DOCA UROM Service container on BlueField Arm for remote memory operations (puts, gets, atomics, collectives) enqueued by a paired host using `doca-urom`: pull the NGC image, choose the UCX component, size queues, configure Comch pairing, and align host and service versions. SECURITY: the service has no standalone access control; Comch pairing and RDMA permissions are the boundary. Pair only intended hosts, expose least-privilege memory regions, and verify both views before start. Trigger for slow UCX collectives, unexpected NOT_PERMITTED, or missing completions. Do not use for host application code, MPI/UCX integration design, or DOCA install.
Doca Verbs
Use this skill when the user is dropping below the higher-level DOCA libraries (doca-rdma / doca-eth / doca-rmax) into the raw-verbs escape hatch — managing QP / CQ / PD / MR / SRQ / AH / CC-group / Ethernet-SQ-RQ primitives inside DOCA Core, porting libibverbs code into the DOCA Core model, capability-querying a specific verb / opcode / WR flag / QP attribute via doca_verbs_query_device, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_verbs_* calls. Trigger even when the user does not say "doca-verbs" — implicit phrasings include "raw QP attribute the task API doesn't expose", "keep my ibv_* code next to doca_* on the same QP", "IO_FAILED on WR submit", "QP state transition rejected", "attach a congestion- control group", or "porting my libibverbs code". The skill's first job is to route MOST users back UP to the higher-level library. Refuse and route elsewhere for general doca-rdma / doca-eth / doca-rmax workloads, DOCA install, Core internals, and general libibverbs theory — those belong to other skills.
Doca Version
Use this skill when the user is doing DOCA version handling — detecting the installed release, validating the four-way match across pkg-config doca-common, applications/VERSION, doca_caps --version, and bfver/mlnx-release on BlueField, reasoning about NGC container tags, looking up whether a capability is on the installed release, or diagnosing build-vs-runtime drift. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly say "DOCA version" or "four-way match" — typical implicit phrasings include "program built but does nothing on the wire", "undefined reference to a symbol the docs claim exists", "DOCA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED at runtime", "counter didn't increment", "what does `latest` mean for this tag", or "is my LTS still supported". Refuse and route elsewhere for installing or choosing DOCA packages (doca-setup), per-library API/capability questions (matching library skill), the cross-library DOCA_ERROR_* taxonomy (doca-programming-guide), or the general debug ladder (doca-debug) — those belong to other skills.
Dynamo Interconnect Check
