Pull request overview
Adds GitHub Copilot instruction markdown files to guide GPU frame capture and analysis workflows using RenderDoc via rdc-cli, intended to help with capture, pipeline/shader inspection, pixel debugging, and frame diffs.
Changes:
- Added a full RenderDoc GPU debugging workflow guide (
rdc open→ inspect →rdc close) with common recipes. - Added a command quick reference for
rdc-clicovering the documented command surface. - Added an extended “debugging recipes” document with step-by-step procedures and example output shapes.
- Added repository-level Copilot instructions entrypoint under
.github/.
