Individual skill

doca-debug

Use this skill when the user is debugging any DOCA symptom — a build that won't compile, a link step that can't resolve a doca_* symbol, a runtime call returning DOCA_ERROR_*, a silent service or tool, or a stack trace / valgrind / core dump — and needs the layered ladder (install → version → build → link → runtime → program → driver), verbosity controls (--sdk-log-level, DOCA_LOG_LEVEL, the doca-{lib}-trace flavor), container-debug constraints, or how to capture state for a Developer Forum post. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA debug" — implicit phrasings include "undefined reference to doca_*", "how do I get more logs", "packets aren't reaching the wire", "doca_caps returned nothing", or "hugepages empty in the container". Refuse and route elsewhere for library-specific debug (Flow pipe trace, RDMA QP, Comch stats), env-class pkg-config or hugepages symptoms, the DOCA_ERROR_* taxonomy and lifecycle interpretation, and performance or incident-response work — those belong to other skills.

# DOCA debug

## Examples

- **"My DOCA build / link / runtime failed — which layer is
  it?"** — this is in scope. Walk the layered ladder; do not
  jump to library-internal debug first.
- **"How do I turn up verbosity for any DOCA library or
  tool?"** — use the log-level / trace-flavor surface, then
  capture state for a forum post.

## Instructions

An `undefined reference` is a **Link-layer symptom**, not proof of a
