doca-urom
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA UROM library work from the host side — wiring doca-urom under an HPC / UCX / MPI stack to OFFLOAD remote memory operations (puts, gets, atomics, collectives) onto a BlueField DPU, creating a UROM Service context (doca_urom_service_*) and Worker contexts (doca_urom_worker_*) that run plugins on the DPU, discovering plugins via doca_urom_service_get_plugins_list, progressing completions, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from a doca_urom_* call. Trigger even without "DOCA UROM": "MPI all-reduce burning host CPU", "push UCX traffic onto the BlueField", "first doca_urom call returns NOT_PERMITTED", or "host library and DPU service look out of sync". Route elsewhere for UROM Service deployment on the DPU side, MPI / UCX collective algorithm design, and RDMA / RoCE / IB substrate bring-up.

What this skill does
DOCA UROM Where to start: This skill assumes DOCA is already installed on both the host and the BlueField, the DOCA UROM Service is deployed and running on the BlueField side, and the user is doing hands-on UROM work from the host side — i.e. using doca-urom from an HPC / UCX / MPI stack on the host to enqueue remote memory operations (puts, gets, atomics, active messages, collective primitives) that the BlueField DPU will execute on the host's behalf. Open TASKS.md if the user wants to do something (configure / build / modify / run / test / debug); open CAPABILITIES.md when the question is what can the host-side UROM API express on this version + this BlueField + this UROM Service version. If the user has not installed DOCA yet, route to doca-setup first; if the user is asking about the DPU-side UROM Service itself (deployment, container, operation lifecycle on the DPU side), that is a DIFFERENT artifact — route via doca-public-knowledge-map ## DOCA services to the public DOCA UROM Service guide. This skill is the host-side library; the UROM Service is the DPU-side executor, and they are a paired contract. Example questions this skill answers well The CLASSES of UROM questions this skill is built to answer, each with one worked example. The agent should treat the class as the load-bearing piece — the worked example is a single instance. "How do I offload my MPI / UCX remote memory operations from the host CPU to the BlueField DPU?" — worked example: "my MPI all-reduce is consuming host CPU cycles I'd rather use for compute — how do I push that work onto the BlueField via UROM?". Answered by the host-library-plus-DPU-service paired-contract model in CAPABILITIES.md ## Capabilities and modes the host-side bring-up workflow in TASKS.md ## configure. …
