DOCA Public Knowledge Map

DOCA Public Knowledge Map

Where to start: Reach for this skill whenever the question is "where does the authoritative answer live?" — a docs page, the on-disk install layout, a sample, or an NGC catalog entry. Read ## Public documentation entry points first; then jump to the routing-table section that matches the user's intent.

When to load this skill

Load this skill whenever the user asks anything about NVIDIA DOCA where the agent needs to locate authoritative information without access to the DOCA source tree. That includes documentation-routing questions about installing DOCA, building a sample, learning a DOCA library (Flow, DPA, Comm Channel, GPUNetIO, …), debugging an error, finding an API or error reference, finding a sample, release notes, or the developer forum.

This skill is intentionally a routing table, not a tutorial. Pick the entry that matches the user's intent, fetch the URL or inspect the local install path, and only then answer.

First-contact discovery — the four questions to ask before any drill-down

Asking these four questions before drilling avoids wasted recommendations that the user cannot actually execute on their setup. Ask them as a single short message; do not interrogate one-at-a-time.

The four-question gate applies when an open-ended orientation, install,
