Doca Flow Dpa Provider skill
doca-flow-dpa-providerNVIDIA/skillsskills/doca-flow-dpa-provider/SKILL.md
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Flow DPA Provider work — exporting a `doca-flow` pipe or external resource (index-selector/memory) into BlueField DPA address space so a DPACC-built kernel can read counters, mutate hash-pipe entries, and update/read memory or index-selector resources inline with Flow. Covers per-port `doca_flow_dpa_ctx`, three queue types (general/resources-write/resources-read), the order-sensitive export handshake (`_export_prepare` → add entries → `_export` → `_get_device_addr`), and DPA-side device API. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Flow DPA Provider" — implicit phrasings include "DPA kernel never sees entries in the exported pipe", "BAD_STATE from `_pipe_export`", "how do I disable a hash entry from a DPA kernel", "DPA memory read returns no value", or "DPA-side post keeps returning AGAIN". Refuse and route elsewhere for `doca-flow` pipe construction, generic host-side DPA (`doca-dpa`), or DPA-side kernel-writing — those belong to other skills.

Install the Doca Flow Dpa Provider skill
Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)
npx skills add https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills --skill doca-flow-dpa-provider
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-flow-dpa-provider ~/.claude/skills/doca-flow-dpa-provider
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.
| When | What loads | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Every session | Name and description | 244 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 4,067 tok |
| Only if opened | 7 bundled files (89 KB) | varies |
Until it is used, doca-flow-dpa-provider costs about 5.6× 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
