compiling-wgsl SKILL.md skillA
compiling-wgsl from oaustegard/claude-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/compiling-wgsl@v0.5.0Pins v0.5.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Produces and shrinks WGSL shaders. Converts GLSL (WebGL 1 and 2, Shadertoy mainImage code, Vulkan GLSL 450, compute shaders) to WGSL and checks the port pixel by pixel against WebGL; minifies a WebGPU shader (renaming, dead code, literal and type shortening) and proves the result unchanged with naga, Chrome's Tint and bit-identical compute runs; compiles an SVG file or a Python-built scene of circles, rects, paths, gradients and animated transforms into one resolution-independent WGSL fragment…
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
# Compiling WGSL `scripts/forge` is a pure-Python WGSL toolchain (numpy is the only dependency): a parser that follows the spec's template-list rules, a minifier, a shape compiler, and a GLSL front end that rewrites WebGL and Shadertoy GLSL for naga (and glslang) to translate. It came from `oaustegard/experiments/wgsl-forge`, whose RESULTS.md holds the measurements quoted here. Set `SKILL=/mnt/skills/user/compiling-wgsl` (or this directory) and run every command with `PYTHONPATH=$SKILL/scripts`. ## When NOT to use this skill | Situation | Use instead | |---|---| | A raster image (photo, PNG) should become vector shapes | `image-to-svg`, then this skill on its SVG | | The output is a PNG, PDF or SVG file rather than a shader | `drawing-with-pycairo` | | Charts or dashboards | `charting`, `charting-vega-lite` | | HLSL or Metal | not covered; naga reads SPIR-V (`naga in.spv out.wgsl`), so HLSL can go through DXC to SPIR-V first | | GLSL for desktop OpenGL with `#version 330` or older, or code using `iChannel` buffers (multi-pass Shadertoy) | converts, but the multi-pass plumbing (render targets, feedback) is host code you write | …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/compiling-wgsl@sha256:670b26af11ef323aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.0, 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.
