name	renderdoc-current-selection-explainer
description	Explain the currently selected RenderDoc draw, event, or resource in practical terms. Use when the user refers to "this", "current", or "selected" in a RenderDoc capture and wants to know what it is doing, why it matters, or what to inspect next.

RenderDoc Current Selection Explainer

Translate the current RenderDoc selection into a short, grounded explanation without making the user specify raw IDs.

Workflow

1. Resolve capture state if needed. Call renderdoc_openCapture if no capture is loaded.

2. Resolve the selection first. Call renderdoc_getSelectionContext before interpreting "this", "current", or "selected".

3. Branch on the selected thing. If a draw or event is selected, call renderdoc_getEventDetails. If pipeline or shader context matters, call renderdoc_getShaderInfo or renderdoc_getPipelineState. If a resource is selected, call renderdoc_getResourceDetail or renderdoc_getTextureInfo.

4. Add only the most useful supporting detail. Pull in mesh, texture, or buffer details only if they materially explain the selection.

Output

Explain:

• What the selected item is
• What role it appears to play in the frame
• The most important evidence behind that explanation
• The next best follow-up question or inspection step

Prefer plain language over raw JSON.

Guardrails

• If there is no current selection, say that explicitly and ask for a selection only if the user intent truly depends on it.
• Do not guess what "this" refers to without renderdoc_getSelectionContext.
• Keep the answer scoped to the selected item unless the user asks for broader frame context.
