doca-erasure-coding
doca-erasure-coding 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 tool assists in managing DOCA Erasure Coding operations on BlueField DPU, ConnectX NIC, or host, including setting up a doca_ec context, performing create/recover/update tasks, and debugging errors. It requires no specific credentials.
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
Hardware-offloaded erasure coding with DOCA Erasure Coding (Reed-Solomon, doca_ec) on a BlueField DPU, ConnectX NIC, or host: generating parity for data blocks, rebuilding lost blocks from the survivors, and refreshing parity after a change. Trigger on "one data block changed, how do I refresh parity without re-encoding", "a disk failed and 2 parity blocks are gone, can I rebuild", "RAID-6 resilience across 12 disks", "my doca_ec_task_create returns NOT_PERMITTED", or "is this N+K layout still recoverable", even without naming DOCA Erasure Coding. Covers bringing up a doca_ec context, the create / recover / update tasks, matrix type / N / K / block size, doca_ec_cap_* queries before sizing, doca_mmap src/dst permissions, and DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_ec_task_*. Refuse and route elsewhere for non-Reed-Solomon codes (fountain / LDPC / raptor), pure-replication designs, network FEC, or other DOCA accelerator libraries (SHA / Compress / AES-GCM / DMA).
