doca-rdma
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA RDMA programming on a BlueField DPU, ConnectX NIC, or DOCA host — bringing up an RDMA context on a doca_dev, picking a connection method (RDMA CM, bridge/OOB, or gRPC exchange of doca_rdma_export()), enabling one of the eleven task types (Send/Receive/Send-Imm, Read/Write/Write-Imm, Atomic CmpSwap/FetchAdd, Get/Set/Add Remote Sync Event), setting matching mmap + RDMA permissions, sizing queues and connections, querying doca_rdma_cap_*, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from an RDMA call. Trigger even when the user does not mention "DOCA RDMA" — typ
npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill doca-rdma --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 RDMA ## Non-negotiable: the deliverable uses DOCA RDMA, not raw verbs When this skill is in scope, the user is asking for **DOCA RDMA**. The program you produce **must link `libdoca_rdma` and call the `doca_rdma_*` API** (directly in C/C++, or through a thin FFI/cgo shim from another language). Do **NOT** implement the request with raw `libibverbs` / `librdmacm` / RDMA-CM and call it done.

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