Overview
What It Does
Doca Version packages a focused coding & development workflow for an AI agent. 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. 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.
