Doca Gpi

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: engineering-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA GPI programming — wiring a GPU-Packet-Initiator context so a CUDA kernel drives RDMA queues directly from GPU memory without host CPU mediation. Covers picking GPI vs doca-gpunetio, the doca_gpi / domain / channel object model, the GPU-side handle handoff (doca_gpu_gpi_channel*), attaching GPU memory to a GPI domain, the domain and channel attribute objects, and debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_gpi_* calls. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA GPI" — typical implicit phrasings include "my CUDA kernel needs to post RDMA directly from GPU memory", "DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_gpi_gpu_channel_get", "how do I hand a GPU handle to my CUDA kernel", "how many channels can a GPI domain hold", or "GPU kernel driving RDMA without the host CPU on the path". Refuse and route elsewhere for the doca-gpunetio Send/Receive surface, the doca-rdma queue lifecycle, DPA-side initiation (doca-rdmi), or the CUDA programming model — those belong to other skills.

From the source SKILL.md

Where to start: This skill assumes DOCA is already installed and the user is doing hands-on GPI work on a host that has both a BlueField / ConnectX device and an NVIDIA GPU reachable over PCIe. Open [TASKS.md](TASKS.md) if the user wants to do something (install / configure / build / modify / run / test / debug / use); open [CAPABILITIES.md](CAPABILITIES.md) when the question is what can GPI express on this version — the domain + channel object model, the GPU-side handle handoff, the relationship to doca-gpunetio and doca-verbs, the attribute objects, and the safety overlay. If the user has…

What this skill does

Doca Gpi 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-gpi/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Doca Gpi 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).

How to install

Free

Manual install (2 steps)

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/doca-gpi
curl -L https://claudskills.com/skills/doca-gpi/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.claude/skills/doca-gpi/SKILL.md

Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/doca-gpi/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Doca Gpi Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/doca-gpi/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.
What does the Doca Gpi skill do?
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA GPI programming — wiring a GPU-Packet-Initiator context so a CUDA kernel drives RDMA queues directly from GPU memory without host CPU mediation. Covers picking GPI vs doca-gpunetio, the doca_gpi / domain / channel object model, the GPU-side handle handoff (doca_gpu_gpi_channel*), attaching GPU memory to a GPI domain, the domain and channel attribute objects, and debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_gpi_* calls. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA GPI" — typical implicit phrasings include "my CUDA kernel needs to post RDMA directly from GPU memory", "DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_gpi_gpu_channel_get", "how do I hand a GPU handle to my CUDA kernel", "how many channels can a GPI domain hold", or "GPU kernel driving RDMA without the host CPU on the path". Refuse and route elsewhere for the doca-gpunetio Send/Receive surface, the doca-rdma queue lifecycle, DPA-side initiation (doca-rdmi), or the CUDA programming model — those belong to other skills.
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 Gpi skill?
Use Doca Gpi 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 Gpi" 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 Gpi 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 Gpi is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
