Overview
What It Does
Doca Sha packages a focused media & files workflow for an AI agent. 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. 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.
