Overview
What It Does
Doca Argp packages a focused coding & development workflow for an AI agent. Use 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. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
