Use this skill when the operator is authoring, building, loading, or debugging a custom doca-bench plug-in — a versioned shared library with DOCA_EXPERIMENTAL-marked C entry points that doca-bench loads to measure a workload class its built-in modes do not cover, with doca_bench_cuda as the shipped reference exemplar. Trigger even when the user does not say "doca-bench-extension" or "doca_bench_cuda" — typical implicit phrasings include "no built-in doca-bench mode fits my workload…
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 Bench Extension ## Examples - **"My workload class is not a built-in doca-bench mode."** — this is in scope after confirming no built-in mode fits. Do not start here for a stock RDMA throughput run. - **"doca-bench cannot find or load my custom .so."** — check discovery, soversion, and exported symbols before rewriting the kernel. ## Instructions Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for configure / build / run / debug. Open the capabilities companion for the extension API shape. Do not open every companion file. **Where to start:** This is a tool skill for the **extension / plug-in framework** that augments `doca-bench/SKILL.md` — NOT a workload-shape skill on its own. Open the tasks companion and start at `## configure` to commit to the three-axis decision (workload class is genuinely outside doca-bench's built-in modes × extension API surface fits × parent-tool co-load is acceptable), then `## build` for how a custom extension is compiled and laid out, then `## run` for how `doca-bench` discovers and invokes the extension, then `## test` for the smoke-before-bulk loop the agent applies to every new …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-bench-extension@sha256:e6f60f195b657ca4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.a4cf47e, 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.
