webgpu-errors-device-loss

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents incorrect WebGPU device-loss handling by teaching when to stop, when to recover, and how to avoid silent retry loops after crashes or intentional teardown.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Reason-aware recovery: Distinguishes destroyed devices from transient unknown losses before taking action.
• Full reinitialization workflow: Re-requests the adapter, creates a fresh device, rebuilds every GPU resource, and reconfigures the canvas.
• Production guardrails: Bounded retry attempts, explicit user-facing failure messages, and correct handling of the resolved device.lost promise.
• Use case: Recover a WebGPU renderer after a GPU process crash without reusing dead buffers, pipelines, or bind groups.

Quick Start

Use the webgpu-errors-device-loss skill to diagnose a lost WebGPU device, branch on the loss reason, and rebuild the entire GPU state when recovery is appropriate.
