Use this skill when the operator is authoring, building, loading, or debugging a custom doca-bench plug-in — a versioned shared library with DOCA_EXPERIMENTAL-marked C entry points that doca-bench loads to measure a workload class its built-in modes do not cover, with doca_bench_cuda as the shipped reference exemplar. Trigger even when the user does not say "doca-bench-extension" or "doca_bench_cuda" — typical implicit phrasings include "no built-in doca-bench mode fits my workload", "how do I benchmark a CUDA GPUNetIO RX/TX kernel", "doca-bench cannot find or load my custom .so", "extension exported symbols do not match what the parent expects", "soversion mismatch after a DOCA upgrade", or "my GPU kernel hangs because stop_flag was never set". Refuse and route elsewhere for questions about which built-in doca-bench mode to pick, DOCA GPUNetIO programming semantics, CUDA toolkit installation, or contributor work on in-tree extensions — those belong to other skills.
Doca Bench Extension includes worked examples; pricing or quota commentary. At roughly 1,866 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

Where to start: This is a tool skill for the extension / plug-in framework that augments [doca-bench](../doca-bench/SKILL.md) — NOT a workload-shape skill on its own. Open [TASKS.md](TASKS.md) and start at [## configure](TASKS.md#configure) to commit to the three-axis decision (workload class is genuinely outside doca-bench's built-in modes × extension API surface fits × parent-tool co-load is acceptable), then [## build](TASKS.md#build) for how a custom extension is compiled and laid out, then [## run](TASKS.md#run) for how doca-bench discovers and invokes the extension, then [##…
What this skill does
Doca Bench Extension is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/doca-bench-extension/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Doca Bench Extension Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 161,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/doca-bench-extension/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Doca Bench Extension skill?
Use Doca Bench Extension when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the science misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Doca Bench Extension" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/science/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Doca Bench Extension skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Doca Bench Extension is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.
