Doca Flow
Use this skill for DOCA Flow on a supported NVIDIA NIC/DPU — both for DOCA Flow application knowledge and for writing Flow applications: defining match/action pipes, bringing up ports / representors, forwarding with FWD_PORT (or another fwd target), reading flow counters, validating a pipe before hardware programming, picking the right Flow version against an installed DOCA, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from the Flow API. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA Flow" or "pipe" — typical implicit phrasings include "packets aren't reaching my representor", "rule isn't matching on the BF", "PMD reports init failed", "match/action drop on egress", "how do I steer this 5-tuple to a queue", "ConnectX hairpin routing on Linux", or any flow-steering / packet-classifier question where DOCA is installed. Refuse and route elsewhere for non-Flow pipelines (DPDK rte_flow without DOCA, kernel TC offload, OVS), BFB bring-up, or DPU OS install — those belong to other skills.

What this skill does
Doca Flow 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-flow/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Doca Flow 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 Flow Claude Code skill?

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 Flow skill?
Use Doca Flow 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 Flow" 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 Flow 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 Flow is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
