# Doca Flow Dpa Provider

> Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Flow DPA Provider work — exporting a doca-flow pipe or external resource (index-selector/memory) into BlueField DPA address space so a DPACC-built kernel can read counters, mutate hash-pipe entries, and update/read memory or index-selector resources inline with Flow. Covers per-port docaflowdpactx, three queue types (general/resources-write/resources-read), the order-sensitive export handshake (exportprepare → add entries → export → getdeviceaddr), and DPA-side device API. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Flow DPA Provider" — implicit phrasings include "DPA kernel never sees entries in the exported pipe", "BADSTATE from pipeexport", "how do I disable a hash entry from a DPA kernel", "DPA memory read returns no value", or "DPA-side post keeps returning AGAIN". Refuse and route elsewhere for doca-flow pipe construction, generic host-side DPA (doca-dpa), or DPA-side kernel-writing — those belong to other skills.
