Use this skill for hands-on DOCA Arg Parser CLI work on a shipped sample or new DOCA-using app — adding / removing / renaming flags; wiring `doca_argp_init` → register params → `doca_argp_start` → `doca_argp_destroy` in order; picking a parameter type from the full public enum (`DOCA_ARGP_TYPE_STRING`, `_INT`, `_BOOLEAN`, `_DEVICE`, `_DEVICE_REP`, `_DOUBLE` — six values, not three); preserving the built-in DOCA flags (`-h` `-v` `-l` `--sdk-log-level` `--log-filter` `-j`/`--json`, NOT…
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 Arg Parser ## Examples - **"Add a custom flag to a DOCA sample."** — this is in scope. Register a typed `doca_argp` param; do not drop to getopt. - **"BAD_STATE registering a new param."** — check init → register → start order before changing the flag type. ## Instructions Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for configure / register / debug. Open the capabilities companion for the public param types. Do not open every companion file. **Where to start:** This skill assumes DOCA is already installed and the user is doing **hands-on CLI work** on a DOCA sample or new DOCA-using app. Open the tasks companion if the user wants to *do* something (configure / build / modify / run / test / debug); open the capabilities companion when the question is *what can the Arg Parser express* on this version. If the user has not installed DOCA yet, route to `doca-setup/SKILL.md` first. If the user is about to rewrite a sample's CLI with `getopt` / `argparse` / custom parsing instead of reusing the Arg Parser, read the load-bearing rule in the capabilities companion before any code change. ## Example questions this skill answers well …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-argp@sha256:3a8bb13aa7f18fb9The 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.
