Use this skill when the operator is driving the DOCA ngauge tool to analyze, visualize, and debug network performance on a single node by probing NIC hardware counters and storing collected data in HDF5 format. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA ngauge" — implicit phrasings include "probe NIC hardware counters", "collect HDF5 performance data", "plot ngauge output", "sample counters on BlueField/ConnectX", "measure network performance on a single node", "debug network performance wit…

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'doca-ngauge' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'doca-ngauge' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named doca-ngauge 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '2630133f22e357f2005886567a39eddcc1b520e2' -- 'skills/doca-ngauge' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/doca-ngauge' ~/.agents/skills/'doca-ngauge' && 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-ngauge' ~/.claude/skills/'doca-ngauge' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
