Install

npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill doca-upgrade

Runs the open skills CLI and installs the skill for your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor …). Alternatively copy the skill folder into .claude/skills/ or upload it in Claude.ai under Settings → Skills.

What does the doca-upgrade skill do?

Changing DOCA versions safely: upgrading or downgrading the host DOCA packages, refreshing the BlueField BFB, bumping the NGC DOCA container tag, or rolling back, with the discipline detect -> report -> ASK -> only then a guided upgrade. Trigger on "is there a newer DOCA", "I want the newest DOCA features, can I just apt upgrade in place", "should I move to the next release", "the upgrade stopped midway and dpkg is in a broken state", "my component is being deprecated, what now", or "roll me back", even without the word upgrade. Detect what is installed, find the newer release, report the gap, then STOP and ask for explicit confirmation; never upgrade automatically. Do not use it for a runtime error on an unchanged install (doca-debug). Version detection alone belongs to doca-version, first-time install to doca-setup, any hardware / firmware / reboot step to doca-hardware-safety, and public-docs or sunset routing to doca-public-knowledge-map.

How do I install doca-upgrade?

In a terminal: npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill doca-upgrade. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.

Which agents can use doca-upgrade?

Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.

Is doca-upgrade safe to use?

Our automatic check found patterns worth a look (see “Check”). That is not proof of anything bad – read the SKILL.md and scripts before installing.

warp-eval
NVIDIA/skills

Evaluate whether an existing hot path is a credible NVIDIA Warp candidate. Use for irregular or spatial queries, particle or geometry simulation, branch-heavy loops, many small launches, host fallbacks, or large intermediates. CPU-only code and absent GPU dependencies are normal unless NVIDIA is prohibited. Exclude required cross-vendor or CPU-only deployment, vendor-lowered dense or NN layers, general Warp API questions, and already-selected Warp kernels. Contribution policy alone is not exclusion.

warp-debug-gradients
NVIDIA/skills

Use to diagnose and fix incorrect gradients in differentiable Warp programs. Anything trained, optimized, calibrated, or fit through Warp kernels depends on wp.Tape gradients, so treat any misbehavior of such a workflow as a gradient problem until proven otherwise — use this when training diverges or NaNs, won't train at all, stalls or plateaus above the expected loss, converges to a wrong or biased answer, is worse than a reference implementation, works at small scale but fails at production scale, or fails a QA/validation recheck. Also for explicit symptoms — exploding, NaN/inf, zero, or subtly wrong gradients, suspected wp.Tape/backward issues, gradcheck failures — but users usually describe only the surface symptom ("the sim explodes", "the fit gets dragged toward outliers") without mentioning gradients: make that leap. Not for forward-only Warp work, build/install problems, or autograd issues in other frameworks without Warp.

No risky patterns found
warp-compile-time-optimizer
NVIDIA/skills

Use when compile time or startup time is the problem in code that uses Warp: a request to improve, optimize, or cut compile times; an app that is slow to start or stalls at the first wp.launch; seconds of compiling before real work begins; JIT modules recompiling on every run or every CI job. Only applies when the code being optimized uses Warp kernels. Not for steady-state kernel runtime, memory, correctness, building Warp itself from source, or nvcc/C++ build times.

vss-build-vision-ai
NVIDIA/skills

Add agent-ready vision capabilities — dense captioning, detection, search, alerting, summarization — to an agent or application through a customizable, self-contained vision stack built on the NVIDIA VSS Blueprint. Use this skill when a developer or agent wants to give their app vision: pick capabilities via guided intake ("build a vision agent", "add vision capabilities") or describe them in natural language ("create a profile for streaming dense captioning", "add agentic search to my base deployment", "deploy warehouse 3d"). Route, compose, configure, and deploy stock base, alerts, LVS, search developer profiles, or the warehouse industry profile and lean custom combinations expressed as delta overlays using one current developer profile as the Foundation. Not for operating a stack that is already deployed — searching, asking about a video, summarizing, managing alerts, or generating a report — and not for deploying a single microservice on its own; use the matching vss-* skill for those.

tilegym-monkey-patch-kernels-to-transformers
NVIDIA/skills

Integrate TileGym kernels into Hugging Face `transformers` models by replacing the library's submodule(s) and certain class(es)' implementations, and patching certain class(es)' init/forward/load weight methods prior to instantiating models. Used when the user requires integrating TileGym kernels into `transformers` models.

Iteratively optimize cuTile kernel performance through systematic profiling, bottleneck analysis, IR comparison, and targeted tuning. Covers tile sizes, occupancy, autotune configs, TMA, latency hints, persistent scheduling, num_ctas, flush_to_zero, and IR-level debugging. Use when asked to "optimize cutile kernel", "improve kernel perf", "tune cutile performance", "make kernel faster", or iteratively benchmark and refine a cuTile GPU kernel in the TileGym project.

tilegym-cutile-autotuning
NVIDIA/skills

Use when adding, modifying, optimizing, or debugging CuTile autotuning code. Trigger signals: `exhaustive_search` / `replace_hints` / `hints_fn` / `cuda.tile.tune` in code, `autotune` in filenames, or correctness/performance issues in autotuned CuTile kernels. Covers: tune-once/cache/launch pattern, per-architecture configs (sm80–sm120), parameter space design (tile sizes, occupancy, num_ctas), and 7 common pitfalls with solutions.

docx
anthropics/skills

Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files) or Word templates (.dotx files).

Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx or .dotx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.

xlsx
anthropics/skills

Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
