doca-bench-extension
Use this skill when the operator is authoring, building, loading, or debugging a custom doca-bench plug-in — a versioned shared library with DOCA_EXPERIMENTAL-marked C entry points that doca-bench loads to measure a workload class its built-in modes do not cover, with doca_bench_cuda as the shipped reference exemplar. Trigger even when the user does not say "doca-bench-extension" or "doca_bench_cuda" — typical implicit phrasings include "no built-in doca-bench mode fits my workload", "how do I benchmark a CUDA GPUNetIO RX/TX kernel", "doca-bench cannot find or load my custom .so", "extension

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# DOCA Bench Extension **Where to start:** This is a tool skill for the **extension / plug-in framework** that augments [`doca-bench`](../doca-bench/SKILL.md) — NOT a workload-shape skill on its own. Open [`TASKS.md`](TASKS.md) and start at [`## configure`](TASKS.md#configure) to commit to the three-axis decision (workload class is genuinely outside doca-bench's built-in modes × extension API surf

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill doca-bench-extension --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From NVIDIA/skills, a repository with 2,789 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
