DOCA version handling: detect the installed release and validate the four-way match across pkg-config doca-common, applications/VERSION, doca_caps --version, and bfver/mlnx-release on BlueField; reason about NGC tags; look up whether a capability exists on this release; diagnose build-vs-runtime drift. Use this skill alongside doca-debug when a symptom smells of version skew: "built but nothing on the wire", "undefined reference to a symbol the docs claim exists…
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 version ## Examples - **"What DOCA version do I actually have installed?"** — run the four-source detection chain and require a four-way match. - **"The program built but does nothing on the wire."** — treat mixed-install drift as a version problem before rewriting application code. ## Instructions Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for detect / validate / diagnose, and the capabilities companion for the four-way match and NGC tag rules. Do not open every companion file. **Where to start:** This skill is the bundle's single source of truth for DOCA *version handling*. Open the tasks companion if the user wants to *do* something with the version (detect / validate / diagnose mismatch); open the capabilities companion when the question is *what does version handling cover* (the four-way match, the detection chain, NGC semantics, the per-library overlay pattern). Every other skill in the bundle that touches version routes here — they MUST NOT redefine the rules. ## Example questions this skill answers well The CLASSES of version-handling questions this skill is built to answer, each with one worked example. The agent should treat the …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-version@sha256:0cb3063b91f033adThe 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.
