Running a DOCA-linked binary directly on the hardware, with no container or kubelet: on host x86 with a BlueField NIC over PCIe, or bare-metal on BlueField Arm. Use this skill for launching and supervising it (direct, tmux, systemd), and when it "exits 1 right after launch", "systemd keeps restarting it", reports "no matching device on the BF", or the BlueField itself is unhealthy: "bfb-install exited 0 but DPU is dead", "ping 192.168.100.2 works but ssh fails", "host PFs aren't showing netdevs…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'doca-bare-metal-deployment' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'doca-bare-metal-deployment' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named doca-bare-metal-deployment already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '2630133f22e357f2005886567a39eddcc1b520e2' -- 'skills/doca-bare-metal-deployment' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/doca-bare-metal-deployment' ~/.agents/skills/'doca-bare-metal-deployment' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'doca-bare-metal-deployment' ~/.claude/skills/'doca-bare-metal-deployment' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
