# Doca Sta

> Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on NVMe-over-Fabrics storage-target work on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC with DOCA STA — standing up a docasta DOCA Core context that accelerates the target-side NVMe-oF data path over RDMA, defining docastasubsystem targets (NQN + namespaces) backed by local NVMe-PCI backend disks (docastabe), checking device support via docastacapissupported, sizing the per-connection I/O queues, or debugging DOCAERROR from a STA call. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA STA" — typical implicit phrasings include "my NVMe-oF Connect never completes", "Identify Controller times out over RoCE", "16 I/O queues at depth 1024 — does this BlueField support that", "offload the nvmf target onto the DPU", or "DOCAERRORIOFAILED on an NVMe read". Refuse and route elsewhere for DOCA install, raw RDMA data movement, raw packet I/O, flow-rule programming, or initiator-side / host NVMe stack work — those belong to other skills.
