Doca Dpa Hl Tracer
Use this skill when the user runs doca_dpa_hl_tracer to capture/decode DPA-side traces at the programming-events layer (kernel entry/exit, sync points, comm primitive calls, RDMA WR submission, completion drain) — picking TRACE vs CRIT, tuning the JSON config (file-size limits + file_size_limit_policy, thread priorities/cores), decoding against the matching DPA-side ELF, or diagnosing empty/noisy captures. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA DPA tracer" or "high-level tracer" — typical implicit phrasings include "DPA kernel returns wrong result but host completions look clean", "kernel-entry to first-comm latency is huge", "RDMA WR to drain gap on the DPA", "trace file truncated mid-run", "TRACE doubled my DPA latency", or "tracer wrote a file but parser shows zero events". Refuse and route elsewhere for writing DPA kernels, DPA-Comms/DPA-Verbs programming, raw per-cycle DPA profiling, host-side doca-dpa debugging, or production DPA telemetry — those belong to other skills.

From the source SKILL.md
Where to start: This is a tool skill for invoking doca_dpa_hl_tracer — the documented host-side CLI that captures DPA-side execution traces in higher-level terms (DPA programming events: kernel entry / exit, sync points, comm primitive calls, RDMA WR submission, completions) rather than raw cycle counts. Open [TASKS.md](TASKS.md) and start at [## configure](TASKS.md#configure) for the mode-vs-overhead decision and the JSON config layout, then [## run](TASKS.md#run) for the capture → decode → render pipeline. Open [CAPABILITIES.md](CAPABILITIES.md) when the question is what does this tool…
What this skill does
Doca Dpa Hl Tracer 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-dpa-hl-tracer/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Doca Dpa Hl Tracer 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 184,000+ 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 Dpa Hl Tracer Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy
SKILL.md from the source repository to
~/.claude/skills/doca-dpa-hl-tracer/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at
claudskills.com/install/.

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 Dpa Hl Tracer skill?
Use Doca Dpa Hl Tracer 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 Dpa Hl Tracer" 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 Dpa Hl Tracer 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 Dpa Hl Tracer is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
/learn/what-is-a-claude-skill/.
