SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents texture and sampler mistakes in WGSL by guiding the correct choice of texture handle types, sampling builtins, and shader-stage usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Texture and sampler typing: Match WGSL texture and sampler declarations to the correct host bind-group layout entries.
  • Stage-safe texture access: Choose the right builtin for fragment sampling, compute reads, vertex LOD sampling, storage writes, and shadow comparisons.
  • Error prevention: Avoid common failures such as illegal derivative usage, wrong comparison samplers, storage format mismatches, and invalid textureLoad coordinates.
  • Use case: When building a WebGPU renderer, use this skill to implement color sampling, shadow mapping, MSAA resolves, texture arrays, and compute-based image processing with correct WGSL syntax.

Quick Start

Ask for the exact WGSL texture declaration and builtin call you need, including shader stage, texture type, and host bind-group layout, and this skill will return a valid pattern.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix WGSL texture binding errors in WebGPU shaders?

Fix WGSL texture binding errors by matching your texture and sampler declarations exactly to your host bind-group layout entries, ensuring correct handle types and stage-legal builtins are used.

Why does my WebGPU shader fail when sampling textures in the vertex stage?

WebGPU vertex stage texture access fails when using illegal derivative builtins or invalid textureLoad coordinates. You must choose stage-safe builtins specifically allowed for vertex LOD sampling to prevent these errors.

Can I use a comparison sampler for depth texture sampling in WGSL?

Yes, but using the wrong comparison sampler for shadow comparisons causes errors. You must select the correct WGSL sampling builtin and matching sampler handle type to execute depth comparisons properly.

How do I write to storage textures using WGSL without format mismatches?

Writing to storage textures without format mismatches requires declaring the correct storage texture handle type in WGSL and ensuring the format precisely matches the host bind-group layout entry.

What is the correct bind-group layout for multisampled texture reads in WGSL?

The correct bind-group layout for multisampled reads requires matching the WGSL texture handle type to the exact host bind-group entry, preventing invalid textureLoad coordinates and sampling failures.
