Description: <br>

Build and debug DOCA Flow applications on supported NVIDIA NICs/DPUs: define match/action pipes, initialize ports and representors, choose forwarding targets, validate pipes before hardware programming, read counters, match the Flow version to the installed DOCA release, and diagnose Flow API errors. <br>

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

Use Case: <br>

External developers and engineers building applications that consume the DOCA Flow library to program packet steering on supported NVIDIA NICs/DPUs with DOCA installed. <br>

Deployment Geography for Use: <br>

Global <br>

Requirements / Dependencies: <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 activation) in k8s-sandbox environment with external Skill Evaluator profile. <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>
