doca-programming-guide
SkillAbout
Use this skill when the user is writing their first DOCA app or asking a library-agnostic programming question — picking a shipped sample to copy and modify, wiring the canonical pkg-config doca-{library} + meson build (or FFI from Rust / Go / Python against the public C ABI), walking the cfg-create → init → start → use → stop → destroy lifecycle, validating a spec before commit, or decoding a DOCA_ERROR_* return with doca_error_get_descr(). Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA programming guide" — implicit phrasings: "write my first DOCA program", "meson line for doca_rdma_*", "got DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE on my first call", "call DOCA from Rust without writing C", "built clean but nothing on the wire", "what order do doca_*_pipe calls go in". Refuse and route for install / hugepages / pkg-config not resolving doca-{library} (doca-setup), docs or version lookup (doca-public-knowledge-map), and library-internal API construction like Flow pipe topology or RDMA QP setup (matching library skill).
