Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Management programming against BlueField / ConnectX devices — standing up a management or representor context (doca_mgmt_dev_ctx / doca_mgmt_dev_rep_ctx), querying device caps (data-direct, caps-general), toggling congestion-control global status, modifying diagnostics-data, setting ICM quotas, or issuing a raw firmware command via doca_mgmt_raw_cmd with the right scope (CONFIGURATION / DEBUG_READ_ONLY / DEBUG_WRITE / DEBUG_WRITE_FULL).…
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 Management ## Examples - **"Toggle data-direct on a VF."** — this is in scope. Use the management / representor context; do not drop to raw mlxconfig. - **"DOCA_ERROR_IO_FAILED from raw_cmd."** — the firmware rejected the command: re-check the four-way version match, the opcode, and the narrowest correct scope (CONFIGURATION, DEBUG_READ_ONLY, DEBUG_WRITE, DEBUG_WRITE_FULL). fwctl or permission failures surface as `DOCA_ERROR_OPERATING_SYSTEM` instead. ## Instructions Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for configure / raw-cmd / debug. Open the capabilities companion for scopes and device caps. Do not open every companion file. **Where to start:** This skill assumes DOCA is already installed and the user is doing **hands-on management-plane work** against a BlueField / ConnectX device — typically a fleet-management or orchestration tool that needs to query or modify device-level state programmatically. Open the tasks companion if the user wants to *do* something (install / configure / build / modify / run / test / debug / use); open the capabilities companion when the question is *what can doca-mgmt express on this version* — …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-mgmt@sha256:4a9978ff4410331cThe 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.
