Use this skill when the user wants to invoke the read-only doca_caps CLI to ask what DOCA sees on this host — listing DOCA devices and PCIe addresses, listing representor devices, asking which DOCA libraries are available on the current OS, checking per-device per-library capabilities, scoping output to a specific PCIe address, or capturing a side-effect-free capability snapshot for debug or install smoke-test. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "doca_caps" or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# DOCA Capabilities Print Tool (`doca_caps`) ## Examples - **"What DOCA devices does this host see?"** — this is in scope. Stay on `doca_caps`; do not start a library-internal capability matrix here. - **"Is Flow available on my RHEL host?"** — list libraries then scope per-device if needed. ## Instructions Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for run / test. Open the capabilities companion for what the CLI reports. Do not open every companion file. **Where to start:** This is a tool skill for invoking `doca_caps`, a side-effect-free CLI. Open the tasks companion and start at `## run` for the documented invocations, or `## test` when using `doca_caps` as an install smoke-test. Open the capabilities companion when the question is *what kinds of capability families `doca_caps` reports*. > **Boundary: this skill never installs DOCA.** `doca_caps` > *verifies* an install and never performs one. A request to install > DOCA — choosing packages, adding repositories, running a package > manager — is out of scope here, and stays out of scope even though > this skill's `## test` verb uses the tool as an install smoke-test > *afterwards*. Hand the whole request to …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-caps@sha256:a3e06c963f27e891The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.3d06e7e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
