The discipline is detect → report → ASK → only-then guided upgrade: detect what is installed, discover what newer release exists, report the gap, then STOP and ask for explicit confirmation — never upgrade automatically. Trigger even without the word "upgrade": "is there a newer DOCA", "should I move NVIDIA/skills3,503
- Doca UromUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA UROM library work from the host side — wiring doca-urom under an HPC / UCX / MPI stack to OFFLOAD remote memory operations (puts, gets, atomics, collectives) onto a BlueField DPU, creating a UROM Service context (doca_urom_service_*) and Worker contexts (doca_urom_worker_*) that run plugins on the DPU, discovering plugins via doca_urom_service_get_plugins_list, progressing completions, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from a doca_urom_* call.

- Doca Urom SvcOperate the DOCA UROM Service container on BlueField Arm for remote memory operations (puts, gets, atomics, collectives) enqueued by a paired host using `doca-urom`: pull the NGC image, choose the UCX component, size queues, configure Comch pairing, and align host and service versions. SECURITY: the service has no standalone access control; Comch pairing and RDMA permissions are the boundary. Pair only intended hosts, expose least-privilege memory regions, and verify both views before start. TriNVIDIA/skills3,503
