Doca Setup

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: devops  ·  Last updated:
Use this skill when the user is dealing with the DOCA environment around their workload — verifying an install is healthy, preparing the build env (pkg-config, headers, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, hugepages, devlink, representors), debugging env-class failures, deciding container-vs-bare-metal deployment shape, or reaching a DOCA install from a host that doesn't have one yet via the NGC DOCA container Stage-1 fallback. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA setup" — typical implicit phrasings include "I just got a BlueField, what now", "my code is built, how do I run it", "pkg-config can't find doca-flow", "no free 2048 kB hugepages", "representor X not found", "I'm on a Mac and want to learn DOCA". Refuse and route elsewhere for library API specifics (Flow pipes, RDMA queues), the modify-a-sample first-app workflow or DOCA_ERROR_* program-side debugging, and "where is X documented" knowledge-map questions — those belong to other skills.

From the source SKILL.md

Where to start: If the user's question is deployment-shaped ("how do I deploy", "how do I run my DOCA workload", "I just got a BlueField, what now", "my code is built, what next"), walk [TASKS.md ## recognize](TASKS.md#recognize) first. It is the bundle's front-door: it detects the system shape (host x86 / BlueField Arm bare-metal / DPU-only / fresh laptop), asks the developer the minimal set of questions needed to disambiguate, and routes to the correct downstream skill — the container deployment path ([doca-container-deployment](../doca-container-deployment/SKILL.md)), the bare-metal…

What this skill does

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

Who uses this skill

The Doca Setup 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 Setup Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/doca-setup/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.
What does the Doca Setup 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 Setup skill?
Use Doca Setup when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the devops 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 Setup" 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 Setup 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 Setup is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
