Doca Bench Extension skill

doca-bench-extensionNVIDIA/skillsskills/doca-bench-extension/SKILL.md

Use this skill when the operator is authoring, building, loading, or debugging a custom doca-bench plug-in — a versioned shared library with DOCA_EXPERIMENTAL-marked C entry points that doca-bench loads to measure a workload class its built-in modes do not cover, with doca_bench_cuda as the shipped reference exemplar. Trigger even when the user does not say "doca-bench-extension" or "doca_bench_cuda" — typical implicit phrasings include "no built-in doca-bench mode fits my workload", "how do I benchmark a CUDA GPUNetIO RX/TX kernel", "doca-bench cannot find or load my custom .so", "extension exported symbols do not match what the parent expects", "soversion mismatch after a DOCA upgrade", or "my GPU kernel hangs because stop_flag was never set". Refuse and route elsewhere for questions about which built-in doca-bench mode to pick, DOCA GPUNetIO programming semantics, CUDA toolkit installation, or contributor work on in-tree extensions — those belong to other skills.

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/skills/skills/doca-bench-extension ~/.claude/skills/doca-bench-extension

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

What it costs your context

Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.

Until it is used, doca-bench-extension costs about 5.8× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,363 tokens on every turn). Installing all 150 skills from NVIDIA/skills would load 20,796 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
