Use this skill for hands-on DOCA Compress programming on a BlueField DPU, ConnectX NIC, or host with DOCA — enabling compress-deflate, decompress-deflate, decompress-lz4-stream, or decompress-lz4-block tasks on a doca_compress context (the hardware supports DEFLATE both directions plus LZ4 decompress; LZ4 encode is NOT supported), sizing source / destination doca_buf against the per-task cap query, setting mmap permissions, deciding offload vs CPU zlib / zstd, validating with a round-trip smoke, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from a Compress call. Trigger on phrasings like "offload this gzip", "decompress incoming network data", "compress task returns INVALID_VALUE on alloc_init", "submitted a task but no completion arrives", or "decompress LZ4 on the BlueField." Refuse and route elsewhere for non-DEFLATE / non-LZ4 algorithms (zstd / Snappy / brotli), LZ4 encode (route to a CPU LZ4 library), pure mmap-to-mmap copies (doca-dma), or DOCA Core lifecycle internals.

From the source SKILL.md

Where to start: This skill assumes DOCA is already installed and the user is doing hands-on Compress work (bulk DEFLATE compression or decompression) on a BlueField / ConnectX / host with DOCA. Open [TASKS.md](TASKS.md) if the user wants to do something (configure / build / modify / run / test / debug); open [CAPABILITIES.md](CAPABILITIES.md) when the question is what can DOCA Compress express on this version. If the user has not installed DOCA yet, route to [doca-setup](../../doca-setup/SKILL.md) first. If the user is asking "should I even offload this compression to the accelerator?", the…

What this skill does

Doca Compress is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/doca-compress/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Doca Compress Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 159,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Doca Compress Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/doca-compress/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.
What does the Doca Compress skill do?

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