dream-shader-decompile SKILL.md skillA

dream-shader-decompile from typedreammoon/dreamshader is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add typedreammoon/dreamshader/dream-shader-decompile@git:20261004.d47f43f

Pins git:20261004.d47f43f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Export an existing Unreal material, material function, layer, layer blend, material instance or Custom Pass pipeline back into DreamShaderLang source headlessly, so a hand-built material graph or pipeline can be migrated to a text source file. Use when asked to decompile, export, reverse, convert, or migrate a material / material function / material layer / material instance / pass pipeline asset to .dss, .dsi or .dsp (or, with -Format Legacy, a material or function to .dsm / .dsf).

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

# dream-shader-decompile `<asset>`

Read an existing asset's node graph and write the DreamShaderLang source that builds it. Since 2.0
the default output is **2.0 text** — a `.dss`, a `.dsi` for a material instance, or *(since 2.1.0)*
a `.dsp` for a Custom Pass pipeline — written by the compiler run backwards (graph → IR → AST →
printer; a pipeline has no graph, so its fields are read back into the payload a `.dsp` binds to). The 1.x exporter that writes `.dsm` /
`.dsf` is still there behind `-Format Legacy`.

This is the front half of a migration; the back half is
[`dream-shader-optimize`](../dream-shader-optimize/SKILL.md).

Paths below are relative to the plugin root, `Plugins/DreamShader/`.

## Run it

```bash
pwsh -File Plugins/DreamShader/.skill/dsc.ps1 decompile /Game/Materials/M_Steel
```

```bash
pwsh -File Plugins/DreamShader/.skill/dsc.ps1 decompile /Game/Materials/MI_Steel_Worn
```

```bash
pwsh -File Plugins/DreamShader/.skill/dsc.ps1 decompile /MyPlugin/Materials/M_RectBlock -Out D:/Work/M_RectBlock.dss -KeepAssetPath
```

Exit `0` writes the file and logs where, and in which format:

```text
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add typedreammoon/dreamshader/dream-shader-decompile@sha256:adee30476d4b2082

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.d47f43f, 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.
