doca-gpi
doca-gpi 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 guides users in programming DOCA GPI by configuring a GPU-Packet-Initiator context for direct GPU memory access to RDMA queues, covering object models, handle handoffs, and error debugging. It does not cover doca-gpunetio, doca-rdma, or DPA-side initiation.
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 for DOCA GPI work — configuring a GPU Packet Initiator so device code issues RDMA operations straight out of GPU-resident buffers via doca_gpi objects: domain creation and channel limits, attribute objects, the doca_gpu_gpi_channel* handoff consumed inside device code, and DOCA_ERROR_* triage on doca_gpi_* entry points such as doca_gpi_gpu_channel_get. Also load it for implied asks like "how many channels fit in a GPI domain" or "device code issuing one-sided RDMA". Refuse and route to the proper owner for Send/Receive semantics (doca-gpunetio), host-managed QP lifecycle (doca-rdma), Arm-side origination (doca-rdmi), or generic CUDA tutelage.
