doca-flow-dpa-provider

Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Flow DPA Provider work — exporting a `doca-flow` pipe or external resource (index-selector/memory) into BlueField DPA address space so a DPACC-built kernel can read counters, mutate hash-pipe entries, and update/read memory or index-selector resources inline with Flow. Covers per-port `doca_flow_dpa_ctx`, three queue types (general/resources-write/resources-read), the order-sensitive export handshake (`_export_prepare` → add entries → `_export` → `_get_device_addr`), and DPA-side device API. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Flo

# DOCA Flow DPA Provider **Where to start:** This skill assumes DOCA is already installed, the user has a BlueField with a DPA processor that the host can see through DOCA, the user already programs DOCA Flow from the host (`doca-flow`) and already runs DPA kernels from the host (`doca-dpa` / DPACC compiler), and the user is doing **hands-on DPA Flow Provider work** — i.e. using `doca-flow-dpa-pro

What does the doca-flow-dpa-provider skill do?

Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Flow DPA Provider work — exporting a `doca-flow` pipe or external resource (index-selector/memory) into BlueField DPA address space so a DPACC-built kernel can read counters, mutate hash-pipe entries, and update/read memory or index-selector resources inline with Flow.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill doca-flow-dpa-provider --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.
