Typegpu

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user writes
• Designs TypeGPU code: use gpu shader functions
• Compute and render pipelines
• Command encoders

Example prompts

• “use gpu”
• “how do I write a shader”
• “how do I create a buffer”
• “/typegpu”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Numeric literals: 1.0 may strip -> abstractInt. Use d.f32(1). See types.md.
2. 2Outer-scope captures are constants: not runtime-mutable. Use createUniform/createMutable. See shaders.md.
3. 3TypedArray/ArrayBuffer alignment: bytes copied verbatim. vec3f elements are 16 bytes (12 + 4 padding). Plain arrays handle padding; typed…
4. 4Integer division: a / b on primitives is f32. Use d.i32()/d.u32() for integer semantics. See types.md.
5. 5Uninitialised variables: let x; is invalid - always initialise so the type can be inferred: let x = d.f32(0).
6. 6Ternary operators: runtime ternaries compile to WGSL select — both branches always evaluate, so branches must be side-effect-free and…
7. 7Fragment output is always 4-component (d.vec4f; d.vec4i/d.vec4u for integer formats), even for fewer-channel formats. A pipeline with…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e3f00cd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npx

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • github.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Typegpu loads about 5.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~31k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 214 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,689 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~214

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~5.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~31k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,689 words (~5,581 tokens).
