rdc-cli SKILL.md skillA

rdc-cli from bananasjim/rdc-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add bananasjim/rdc-cli/rdc-cli@git:20260623.0a4daab

Pins git:20260623.0a4daab in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when working with RenderDoc capture files (.rdc), analyzing GPU frames, tracing shaders, inspecting draw calls, or running CI assertions against GPU captures. Trigger phrases: "open capture", "rdc file", ".rdc", "renderdoc", "shader debug", "pixel trace", "draw calls", "GPU frame", "assert pixel", "export render target".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# rdc-cli Skill

## Overview

rdc-cli is a Unix-friendly command-line interface for RenderDoc GPU captures. It provides a daemon-backed architecture using JSON-RPC over TCP, a virtual filesystem (VFS) path namespace for navigating capture internals, and composable commands designed for shell pipelines, scripting, and CI assertions.

Install: `pip install rdc-cli` (requires a local RenderDoc build with Python bindings).
Check setup: `rdc doctor`.

## Core Workflow

Follow this session lifecycle for any capture analysis task:

1. **Open** a capture:
   - Local: `rdc open path/to/capture.rdc`
   - Remote replay (Proxy): `rdc open capture.rdc --proxy host:port`
   - Split thin-client: `rdc open --connect host:port --token TOKEN`
   - Android device: `rdc open capture.rdc --android [--serial SERIAL]`
2. **Inspect** metadata: `rdc info`, `rdc stats`, `rdc events`
3. **Navigate** the VFS: `rdc ls /`, `rdc ls /textures`, `rdc cat /draws/0/pipeline/summary`
4. **Analyze** specifics: `rdc shaders`, `rdc pipeline`, `rdc resources`, `rdc bindings`
5. **Debug** shaders: `rdc debug pixel EID X Y`, `rdc debug vertex EID VTXID`, `rdc debug thread EID GX GY GZ`
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add bananasjim/rdc-cli/rdc-cli@sha256:1c3f65d9c9228530

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260623.0a4daab, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
