/doca-dma

Description: <br>

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, driving the progress engine, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* returns. <br>

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use. <br>

License/Terms of Use: <br>

Apache 2.0 AND CC-BY-4.0 <br>

Use Case: <br>

Developers and engineers building applications that consume the DOCA DMA library to copy bytes between doca_mmap regions using the BlueField DMA engine instead of the host CPU. <br>

Deployment Geography for Use: <br>

Global <br>

Requirements / Dependencies: <br>

Requires API Key or External Credential: [No] <br> Credential Type(s): [None] <br>

Do not include secrets in prompts/logs/output; use least-privilege credentials; rotate keys as appropriate. <br>

Known Risks and Mitigations: <br>

Risk: Review before execution as proposals could introduce incorrect or misleading guidance into skills. <br> Mitigation: Review and scan skill before deployment. <br>

Evaluation Agents Used: <br>

• Claude Code (aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8) <br>
• Codex (openai/openai/gpt-5.5) <br>

Evaluation Tasks: <br>

Evaluated against 4 evaluation tasks (3 positive skill-activation, 1 negative) in the external Skill Evaluator profile within a k8s-sandbox environment. <br>

Evaluation Metrics Used: <br>

Reported benchmark dimensions: <br>

• Security: Checks whether skill-assisted execution avoids unsafe behavior such as secret leakage, destructive commands, or unauthorized access. <br>
• Correctness: Checks whether the agent follows the expected workflow and produces the correct final output. <br>
• Discoverability: Checks whether the agent loads the skill when relevant and avoids using it when irrelevant. <br>
• Effectiveness: Checks whether the agent performs measurably better with the skill than without it. <br>
• Efficiency: Checks whether the agent uses fewer tokens and avoids redundant work. <br>

Underlying evaluation signals used in this run: <br>

• security: Checks for unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access. <br>
• skill_execution: Verifies that the agent loaded the expected skill and workflow. <br>
• skill_efficiency: Checks routing quality, decoy avoidance, and redundant tool usage. <br>
• accuracy: Grades final-answer correctness against the reference answer. <br>
• goal_accuracy: Checks whether the overall user task completed successfully. <br>
• behavior_check: Verifies expected behavior steps, including safety expectations. <br>
