# Doca Comch

> Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Comch work on a host + BlueField pair — bringing up host ↔ DPU PCIe control-plane messaging, picking server (DPU) vs client (host) roles, choosing slow-path send-task / recv-callback vs fast-path producer / consumer, querying max-msg-size or max-clients capabilities, registering connection callbacks, or debugging DOCAERROR returns from the Comch API. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA Comch" or "Comm Channel" (renamed in DOCA 2.5) — typical implicit phrasings include "send a control message from host to BlueField over PCIe", "DPU can't see the host representor", "DOCAERRORNOTPERMITTED on servercreate", "DOCAERRORAGAIN on tasksend submit", "connect callback never fires", or "stream bulk data from a host driver to a DPU agent". Refuse and route elsewhere for installing DOCA itself, BFB / firmware bring-up, non-Comch DOCA libraries, or deploying Comch apps at scale — those belong to other skills.
