Doca Debug

Category: Dev Tools  ·  Sub-category: tools-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use this skill when the user is debugging any DOCA symptom — a build that won't compile, a link step that can't resolve a doca_* symbol, a runtime call returning DOCA_ERROR_*, a silent service or tool, or a stack trace / valgrind / core dump — and needs the layered ladder (install → version → build → link → runtime → program → driver), verbosity controls (--sdk-log-level, DOCA_LOG_LEVEL, the doca-{lib}-trace flavor), container-debug constraints, or how to capture state for a Developer Forum post. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA debug" — implicit phrasings include "undefined reference to doca_*", "how do I get more logs", "packets aren't reaching the wire", "doca_caps returned nothing", or "hugepages empty in the container". Refuse and route elsewhere for library-specific debug (Flow pipe trace, RDMA QP, Comch stats), env-class pkg-config or hugepages symptoms, the DOCA_ERROR_* taxonomy and lifecycle interpretation, and performance or incident-response work — those belong to other skills.

From the source SKILL.md

Where to start: This skill is the canonical layered-ladder reference both [doca-setup ## debug](../doca-setup/TASKS.md#debug) and [doca-programming-guide ## debug](../doca-programming-guide/TASKS.md#debug) escalate to. If the symptom does not fit cleanly in env-class or program-class, start at [TASKS.md ## debug](TASKS.md#debug) — the full layered ladder lives there.

What this skill does

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

Who uses this skill

The Doca Debug Claude Code skill is built for developers, power users, and teams automating repetitive workflows and improving developer experience. 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).

When should I use the Doca Debug skill?
