doca-container-deployment
Use this skill when the user is hands-on deploying an in-bundle DOCA service container (Argus, DMS, Firefly, or UROM service) on a BlueField — kubelet standalone watching a static-pod manifests directory, YAML pod-spec drop, kubelet status / ENTRYPOINT logs / per-service liveness, smoke-before-bulk, and the layered error taxonomy (pod-spec, scheduling, image pull, runtime, mount, network, version, host). Trigger even when the user does not say "container deployment" — typical implicit phrasings include "how do I run my built service on the BlueField?", "where do I drop the pod-spec YAML?", "
npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill doca-container-deployment --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# DOCA container deployment **Where to start:** This skill is for *operating* the cross-cutting DOCA container-deployment runtime — the shared pattern every DOCA service on the BlueField uses to come up (kubelet standalone agent on the BlueField Arm watching a static-pod manifests directory; the operator drops a YAML pod spec into that directory; kubelet schedules the pod and runs the container).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill doca-container-deployment --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.
