gpu-inspector

v0.4.0

Debug and profile Vulkan, Metal and Direct3D 12 frames with Claude: GPU Inspector captures (.gpucap) read with GPU Inspector's own analyses — frame issues, GPU bottlenecks, the render graph, the state at a draw, buffers, render targets and shaders — and running applications launched, captured and shader-edited live.

Included Skills1

gpu-capture-analysisskills/gpu-capture-analysis/SKILL.md

Interpret GPU Inspector frame captures (.gpucap) of Vulkan, Metal and Direct3D 12 applications — the command stream, passes, the state bound at a draw, render targets, buffers, shaders, validation messages, Frame Issues, GPU Bottlenecks and the render graph — to debug rendering problems and find what limits a frame, including in running applications the tools launch, capture and edit shaders of. Use with the gpu-inspector MCP tools whenever a .gpucap file or a GPU Inspector capture comes up, or a native Vulkan, Metal or Direct3D 12 (D3D12, DXGI) rendering or GPU performance problem does.
