doca-bench-extension
doca-bench-extension is an agent skill published by nvidia, listed under review & testing. It lives in the NVIDIA/skills repository, which has 3,735 GitHub stars and is licensed under Apache-2.0; we last read it on 2026-10-23.
This skill is used when authoring, building, loading, or debugging a custom doca-bench plug-in, a versioned shared library with DOCA_EXPERIMENTAL-marked C entry points that doca-bench loads to measure a workload class not covered by its built-in modes. It requires no specific credential.
Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads NVIDIA/skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.

Maintenance
Use this skill when the operator is authoring, building, loading, or debugging a custom doca-bench plug-in — a versioned shared library with DOCA_EXPERIMENTAL-marked C entry points that doca-bench loads to measure a workload class its built-in modes do not cover, with doca_bench_cuda as the shipped reference exemplar. Trigger even when the user does not say "doca-bench-extension" or "doca_bench_cuda" — typical implicit phrasings include "no built-in doca-bench mode fits my workload", "how do I benchmark a CUDA GPUNetIO RX/TX kernel", "doca-bench cannot find or load my custom .so", "extension exported symbols do not match what the parent expects", "soversion mismatch after a DOCA upgrade", or "my GPU kernel hangs because stop_flag was never set". Refuse and route elsewhere for questions about which built-in doca-bench mode to pick, DOCA GPUNetIO programming semantics, CUDA toolkit installation, or contributor work on in-tree extensions — those belong to other skills.
