rdc-cli

rdc-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BANANASJIM/rdc-cli. It costs 82 tokens per session (3,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for examining RenderDoc capture files, which record what a graphics processor did while rendering a frame.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps developers inspect draw calls, trace pixels or vertices, debug shaders, export textures, and run checks on GPU captures in scripts or continuous integration.
Why use it?
It provides one workflow for inspecting GPU events, resources, shaders, and pipelines instead of navigating captures manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rdc-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (__init__.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

rdc-cli Skill

Overview

rdc-cli is a Unix-friendly command-line interface for RenderDoc GPU captures. It provides a daemon-backed architecture using JSON-RPC over TCP, a virtual filesystem (VFS) path namespace for navigating capture internals, and composable commands designed for shell pipelines, scripting, and CI assertions.

Install: pip install rdc-cli (requires a local RenderDoc build with Python bindings). Check setup: rdc doctor.

Core Workflow

Follow this session lifecycle for any capture analysis task:

  1. Open a capture:
    • Local: rdc open path/to/capture.rdc
    • Remote replay (Proxy): rdc open capture.rdc --proxy host:port
    • Split thin-client: rdc open --connect host:port --token TOKEN
    • Android device: rdc open capture.rdc --android [--serial SERIAL]
  2. Inspect metadata: rdc info, rdc stats, rdc events
  3. Navigate the VFS: rdc ls /, rdc ls /textures, rdc cat /draws/0/pipeline/summary
  4. Analyze specifics: rdc shaders, rdc pipeline, rdc resources, rdc bindings
  5. Debug shaders: rdc debug pixel EID X Y, rdc debug vertex EID VTXID, rdc debug thread EID GX GY GZ
  6. Export data: rdc texture ID -o out.png, rdc rt EID, rdc buffer ID -o buf.bin, rdc cbuffer EID --stage ps --binding 0, rdc log
  7. Close the session: rdc close

Session Management

  • Default session name: default (or value of $RDC_SESSION).
  • Override per-command: rdc --session myname open capture.rdc.
  • Check active session: rdc status.
  • Navigate to a specific event: rdc goto EID.

Output Formats

All list/table commands default to TSV (tab-separated values) with a header row, suitable for cut, awk, and sort.

Flag Format Use Case
(default) TSV with header Human reading, shell pipelines
--no-header TSV without header Piping to awk/cut without stripping
--json JSON array Structured processing with jq
--jsonl Newline-delimited JSON Streaming processing, large datasets
-q / --quiet Minimal (single column) Extracting IDs for loops

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

rdc-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository BANANASJIM/rdc-cli (167 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 3,019 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
