description	Root skill that groups the graphics sub-skills used in this project. This is a router: it lists the sub-skills under sub-skills/ and tells the agent which one to load for the task at hand (texture processing, GPU frame debugging). Use when a graphics/rendering task matches one of those areas; then load the matching sub-skill's SKILL.md.

Graphics — Root Skill

This is a root (grouping) skill. It has no standalone procedure; its job is to route to the right sub-skill under sub-skills/. See .agents/rules/skills.md for the sub-skill structure.

How to use this skill

1. Read this file to choose the matching sub-skill from the table below.
2. Load that sub-skill's SKILL.md at sub-skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
3. Apply it as a first-class skill (follow its instructions and resources).
4. Load only the sub-skill(s) the current task needs (context budget), not all of them.

Sub-skills

Sub-skill	Path	Use when
DirectXTex Usage	sub-skills/directxtex-usage/SKILL.md	Integrating or using the DirectXTex library: loading/saving textures, format conversion, mipmap generation, block compression, Direct3D resource creation.
RenderDoc GPU Debug	sub-skills/renderdoc-gpu-debug/SKILL.md	GPU frame capture and debugging with rdc-cli: shader issues, pipeline state, frame captures, pixel/shader debugging, rendering artifacts.

Project context

The graphics subsystem builds on the C++/WinUI rendering stack. Use directxtex-usage when working with texture assets and processing, and renderdoc-gpu-debug when investigating GPU rendering issues captured from the running visualizer. See .agents/context/architecture.md for how the render pipeline fits into the app.
