Agent skill · NVIDIA
doca-public-knowledge-map
Use this skill when the user needs to locate authoritative information about NVIDIA DOCA without access to the source tree — finding the right docs.nvidia.com page for a library/service/tool, identifying which DOCA libraries are installed and at what version, locating a sample on disk or its public GitHub source, decoding an on-disk path under /opt/mellanox/doca, or recovering from a 404'd or renamed doc URL. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention 'DOCA' or 'docs.nvidia.com' — typical implicit phrasings include 'where can I read about this library', 'which version do I have installed', 'where is the sample for X', 'this NVIDIA URL is broken what is the new one', 'what is in /opt/mellanox/doca', or 'where can I ask NVIDIA about this'. Refuse and route elsewhere for hands-on programming patterns, env prep and install verification, library API tutorials, or hardware/firmware mutation — those belong to doca-programming-guide, doca-setup, the per-library skills, and doca-hardware-safety.

What this skill does
DOCA Public Knowledge Map Where to start: Reach for this skill whenever the question is "where does the authoritative answer live?" — a docs page, the on-disk install layout, a sample, or an NGC catalog entry. Read ## Public documentation entry points first; then jump to the routing-table section that matches the user's intent. When to load this skill Load this skill whenever the user asks anything about NVIDIA DOCA where the agent needs to locate authoritative information without access to the DOCA source tree. That includes documentation-routing questions about installing DOCA, building a sample, learning a DOCA library (Flow, DPA, Comm Channel, GPUNetIO, …), debugging an error, finding an API or error reference, finding a sample, release notes, or the developer forum. This skill locates the authoritative answer; hands-on installation, building, tutorials, and debugging route to the workflow-owning skills named in the frontmatter and Related skills. This skill is intentionally a routing table, not a tutorial. Pick the entry that matches the user's intent, fetch the URL or inspect the local install path, and only then answer. First-contact discovery — the four questions to ask before any drill-down When a user opens with an open-ended orientation question ("I'm new with DOCA, how do I start?", "can you guide me?", "what's the easiest way to try DOCA?"), the agent does not have enough information yet to pick a path. Asking these four questions before drilling avoids wasted recommendations that the user cannot actually execute on their setup. Ask them as a single short message; do not interrogate one-at-a-time. Question Why it matters What it routes --- --- --- 1. What OS are you on? macOS, Windows, Linux laptop, cloud VM, lab Linux box, BlueField OS itself? DOCA installs natively only on supported Linux distributions; macOS / Windows users cannot install it at all. Picks between the four DOCA acquisition paths in doca-setup ## no-install. …
