Included Skills (10)

1. Doca Pcc Counters — Use this skill when the user is invoking the DOCA PCC Counters tool — the `pcc_counters.sh` bash script under the DOCA tools directory — to arm and read the fixed firmware/hardware PCC (Programmable Congestion Control) diagnostic counters (CNP, RTT, WRED-drop, etc.) on a ConnectX / BlueField device via mst + the mlx5 debugfs `diag_cnt` interface. The script takes two positional args — `set | query` and an mst device path — with no `--help` or subcommands. Trigger even without "pcc_counters.sh" or "PCC counters": "how do I read the CNP / RTT / WRED-drop counters", "PCC counter stuck at zero", "the script says Bad Device", or "is congestion control dropping packets on this port?". Route elsewhere for writing a custom PCC algorithm (doca-pcc), factory firmware PCC config, DOCA install, or fleet-wide CC tuning.
2. Doca Pcc — Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on host-side DOCA PCC work to load a CUSTOM Programmable Congestion Control algorithm onto a BlueField DPU — creating per-port `doca_pcc` contexts, loading a `dpacc`-compiled `doca_pcc_app` onto the `doca_dev` for the RoCE-bearing port, parameterizing it, walking triple-axis capability discovery (DOCA cap-query + DPA-capable BlueField + firmware custom-PCC slot enabled), or debugging `DOCA_ERROR_*` from `doca_pcc_*`. Trigger even without explicit "DOCA PCC" phrasing — implicit forms include "loading my own congestion control onto a BF port", "DOCA_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED on algorithm load", "DOCA_ERROR_DRIVER when I attach my custom algorithm", "my custom rate-update isn't affecting RoCE traffic", or "load succeeds but no on-wire change". Refuse and route elsewhere for DPA-side algorithm-body design, the `pcc_counters` CLI, default factory PCC in ConnectX firmware, or setting up the RDMA / RoCE traffic — those belong to other skills.
3. Doca Rdma — RDMA data movement on NVIDIA BlueField/ConnectX NICs (RoCE/InfiniBand) with DOCA RDMA, instead of hand-written libibverbs/rdma_cm. Use when the user moves data between processes or hosts over the NIC, or hits "one-sided read returns permission denied", "completions never arrive after submit", "connection callback never fires", atomic compare-and-swap over RoCE, or DOCA_ERROR_FULL on the send queue under burst, even without naming DOCA RDMA. Covers bringing up an RDMA context on a doca_dev, connection methods (RDMA CM, bridge/OOB, or gRPC exchange of doca_rdma_export()), the eleven task types (Send/Receive/Send-Imm, Read/Write/Write-Imm, Atomic CmpSwap/FetchAdd, Get/Set/Add Remote Sync Event), matching mmap + RDMA permissions, queue and connection sizing, doca_rdma_cap_* queries, and DOCA_ERROR_* from RDMA calls. Raw QP/verbs control belongs to doca-verbs. Refuse and route elsewhere for general RDMA / ibverbs theory (queue pairs, MRs, RoCE vs IB), installing DOCA itself, or non-RDMA DOCA libraries.
4. Doca Urom — Host-side DOCA UROM library (doca_urom_*): offload an HPC / UCX / MPI application's remote memory operations (puts, gets, atomics, collectives) from the host CPU onto a BlueField DPU. Trigger on "MPI all-reduce burning host CPU", "push UCX traffic onto the BlueField", "first doca_urom call returns NOT_PERMITTED", or "host library and DPU service look out of sync", even without naming DOCA UROM. An offload needs both halves: this host library and the UROM Service on the DPU (doca-urom-svc), which owns deploying that container. Covers creating UROM Service contexts (doca_urom_service_*) and Worker contexts (doca_urom_worker_*) that run plugins on the DPU, discovering plugins via doca_urom_service_get_plugins_list, progressing completions, and DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_urom_* calls. Route elsewhere for UROM Service deployment on the DPU side, MPI / UCX collective algorithm design, and RDMA / RoCE / IB substrate bring-up.
5. Doca Dma — Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA DMA programming — bringing up a doca_dma context, configuring the single doca_dma_task_memcpy task type, sizing buffers via the doca_dma_cap_task_memcpy_* queries, setting LOCAL_READ_ONLY / LOCAL_READ_WRITE permissions on source / destination doca_mmap regions (plus doca_mmap_export_* for cross-peer copies), driving the progress engine, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* returns. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA DMA" or "doca_mmap" — typical implicit phrasings include "memcpy host buffer to BlueField without using the CPU", "offload a bulk copy to the DPU", "copy returns NOT_PERMITTED on first submit", "buffer too big for one DMA task", "task submitted but no completion", or "scatter-gather copy between two memory regions". Refuse and route elsewhere for cross-network copies (DOCA RDMA), producer/consumer messaging (DOCA Comch), DOCA Core / progress-engine internals, or DOCA install — those belong to other skills.
6. Agent Protocol — Inter-agent communication protocol for C-suite agent teams. Defines invocation syntax, loop prevention, isolation rules, and response formats. Use when C-suite agents need to query each other, coordinate cross-functional analysis, or run board meetings with multiple agent roles.
7. Dynamo Interconnect Check — Validate that a Dynamo deployment's NIXL/UCX/NCCL interconnect is ready for disaggregated serving over RDMA/NVLink. Use after recipe-runner brings a deployment up (especially disagg/multi-node) to confirm the KV transport is correct; use troubleshoot for diagnosing already-failed pods.
8. Performing Vlan Hopping Attack — Simulates VLAN hopping attacks using switch spoofing and 802.1Q double tagging techniques in authorized lab environments to test VLAN segmentation effectiveness and switch port security. Use during an authorized penetration test to validate trunk port hardening, confirm DTP is disabled on access ports, and demonstrate Layer 2 segmentation bypass risk to network teams.
9. RabbitMQ Messaging Expert — Assists developers using amqplib to implement robust message queuing patterns for decoupled microservices communicating asynchronously via RabbitMQ.
10. Agent To Agent — Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication protocol. Connect two or more Claude agents that pass messages, share context, delegate tasks, and collaborate. Implements structured handoffs, shared memory, and multi-agent conversations.
