doca-upgrade
Use this skill when the user is contemplating a DOCA upgrade or downgrade — moving a host to a newer DOCA release, refreshing the BlueField BFB, bumping the NGC DOCA container tag, or rolling back. The discipline is detect → report → ASK → only-then guided upgrade: detect what is installed, discover what newer release exists, report the gap, then STOP and ask for explicit confirmation — never upgrade automatically. Trigger even without the word "upgrade": "is there a newer DOCA", "should I move to the next release", "I want the latest features", "my component is being deprecated, what now", or "roll me back". Route elsewhere for version detection (doca-version), first-time install (doca-setup), any hardware/firmware/reboot step (doca-hardware-safety), and public-docs / sunset routing (doca-public-knowledge-map).

Use this skill when the user is contemplating a DOCA upgrade or downgrade — moving a host to a newer DOCA release, refreshing the BlueField BFB, bumping the NGC DOCA container tag, or rolling back.

Route elsewhere for version detection (doca-version), first-time install (doca-setup), any hardware/firmware/reboot step (doca-hardware-safety), and public-docs / sunset routing (doca-public-knowledge-map). 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-upgrade skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install skills-doca-upgrade` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/skills-doca-upgrade/ 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-upgrade work with?
doca-upgrade 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-upgrade 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-upgrade after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/skills-doca-upgrade` (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-upgrade 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.
