Doca Common

Category: Dev Tools  ·  Sub-category: tools-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use this skill whenever the user is doing hands-on DOCA programming on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC and needs the foundation primitives every per-library context rests on — walking the doca_ctx lifecycle, discovering doca_dev / doca_devinfo and gating on doca_*_cap_* before trusting a feature, wiring doca_mmap / doca_buf_inventory / doca_buf for zero-copy I/O across libraries, driving doca_pe for completions, or DOCA Log's two-tier (--sdk-log-level vs app-side) model. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Common" — typical implicit phrasings include "my tasks submit but nothing completes", "DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE from doca_ctx_start", "--sdk-log-level does nothing for my DOCA_LOG_DBG lines", "share a buf between doca_dma and doca_rdma", or "crashes far from the offending line". Refuse and route elsewhere for per-library questions in isolation (load doca-flow / doca-rdma / doca-eth alongside), installing DOCA (doca-setup), or doc lookup (doca-public-knowledge-map).

From the source SKILL.md

Where to start: This skill is the foundation every DOCA app loads first — before doca-flow, doca-rdma, doca-eth, doca-comch, or any other higher-level library. Every doca_<library>_ context is built on top of doca_ctx, every device handle is a doca_dev discovered through doca_devinfo, every zero-copy buffer is a doca_buf from a doca_buf_inventory over a doca_mmap, every task completion drains through a doca_pe, and every log line emits through doca_log. Open [CAPABILITIES.md](CAPABILITIES.md) when the question is what does Common express on this install; open [TASKS.md](TASKS.md) when the…

What does the Doca Common skill do?
Use this skill whenever the user is doing hands-on DOCA programming on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC and needs the foundation primitives every per-library context rests on — walking the doca_ctx lifecycle, discovering doca_dev / doca_devinfo and gating on doca_*_cap_* before trusting a feature, wiring doca_mmap / doca_buf_inventory / doca_buf for zero-copy I/O across libraries, driving doca_pe for completions, or DOCA Log's two-tier (--sdk-log-level vs app-side) model.

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 Common skill?
Use Doca Common when your Claude Code task falls under the Dev Tools category — specifically in the tools 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 Common" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/tools/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Doca Common 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 Common is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Dev Tools category.
