separate

Use this skill when the user is writing their first DOCA app or asking a library-agnostic programming question — picking a shipped sample to copy and modify, wiring pkg-config + meson (or FFI from Rust / Go / Python against the public C ABI), walking the Core lifecycle (create → configure → start → connect → use → stop → destroy), or decoding a DOCA_ERROR_*. Trigger on implicit phrasing: "write my first DOCA program", "meson line for doca_rdma_*", "DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE on first call", "call DOCA from Rust", "built clean but nothing on the wire". Refuse install / hugepages / pkg-config (doca-setup), docs or version lookup (doca-public-knowledge-map), and library-internal API work (matching library skill).

When to use

• writing first DOCA app
• picking a shipped sample to copy and modify
• wiring pkg-config + meson
• FFI from Rust / Go / Python against public C ABI
• walking Core lifecycle (create to destroy)
• decoding DOCA_ERROR_*
• classifying and building shipped DOCA samples

When not to use

• install / hugepages / pkg-config setup
• docs or version lookup
• library-internal API work
• contributing to DOCA itself
• programming of DOCA
