doca-bare-metal-deployment
Use this skill for launching, supervising, debugging, OR platform lifecycle on a BlueField — BFB install, RShim/TMFIFO, host PF rebind, post-BFB recovery — taking a DOCA-linked binary to a healthy run directly on hardware (host x86 + BlueField NIC over PCIe, or BlueField Arm bare-metal). No container, no kubelet. Covers launch mode (direct, tmux, systemd), PCI/NUMA/ CPU/IRQ binding, co-tenant isolation (cgroup-v2/netns/numactl), a seven-layer error taxonomy, and a six-state BlueField lifecycle classifier. Trigger even when user does not say "bare-metal" — implicit phrasings include "binary exits 1 right after launch", "systemd keeps restarting it", "no matching device on the BF", "bfb-install exited 0 but DPU is dead", "ping 192.168.100.2 works but ssh fails", "host PFs aren't showing netdevs". Destructive firmware burn / mlxconfig set requires explicit confirmation via doca-hardware-safety; containers, library APIs, env prep, and build use other skills.

What does the doca-bare-metal-deployment skill do?
Use this skill for launching, supervising, debugging, OR platform lifecycle on a BlueField — BFB install, RShim/TMFIFO, host PF rebind, post-BFB recovery — taking a DOCA-linked binary to a healthy run directly on hardware (host x86 + BlueField NIC over PCIe, or BlueField Arm bare-metal).

Destructive firmware burn / mlxconfig set requires explicit confirmation via doca-hardware-safety; containers, library APIs, env prep, and build use other skills. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the doca-bare-metal-deployment skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install skills-doca-bare-metal-deployment` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/skills-doca-bare-metal-deployment/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does doca-bare-metal-deployment work with?
doca-bare-metal-deployment runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the doca-bare-metal-deployment skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use doca-bare-metal-deployment after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/skills-doca-bare-metal-deployment` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the doca-bare-metal-deployment skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
