webgpu-spec-lookup

A reference workflow for answering questions about WebGPU, the browser platform for using a computer's graphics processor from web applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify browser support, shipped features, flags, limits, origin trials, and behaviour against current Chrome documentation and the W3C specification.
Why use it?
WebGPU support, limits, feature availability, and exact behaviour can vary as browsers and the standard change, so memory may be out of date.

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

webgpu-spec-lookup 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (update_spec.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.

Answer WebGPU-platform questions from the live docs, not from memory

WebGPU is a moving target: features ship per Chrome milestone, limits get raised, things sit behind flags or origin trials, and the spec adds capabilities on a rolling basis. Whatever you recall about "is X supported" or "what's the default limit" is liable to be months stale, and a confident wrong answer about browser support or a feature name wastes the user's time. The cost of fetching is a few seconds. So for platform questions, check the sources before answering.

This skill is for questions about WebGPU the platform — support, features, limits, spec behavior. It is NOT for questions about OGPU's own engine code (that's the codebase) or the webgpu-utils library (that's the webgpu-utils-lookup skill).

Sources

Two sources answer different things — query each its own way:

  1. Chrome WebGPU docs / "What's New" — reality of what's shipped. (WebFetch) https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/webgpu This is the entry point; the per-release "What's New in WebGPU (Chrome NNN)" posts are where feature-shipping, flags, origin trials, and raised limits are announced. The landing page links to them — if the answer needs a specific milestone, follow the link (or WebSearch What's New in WebGPU Chrome to find the most recent post). Use this for: "is it shipping / in which Chrome / behind a flag / in an origin trial", and browser-compat reality.

  2. W3C WebGPU spec — authoritative API surface. (local cache, grep — not WebFetch) The spec is one 4.5 MB page; WebFetch'ing it per question is slow and lossy. Instead query a preprocessed local copy:

    # Prints the cache path; (re)downloads + strips to text only when the cached
    # copy's date != today. Run it first, then grep the path it prints.
    python3 .claude/skills/webgpu-spec-lookup/update_spec.py
    grep -n -i "maxStorageBufferBindingSize" .claude/skills/webgpu-spec-lookup/webgpu-spec.txt

What ships with it

1 file 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.

webgpu-spec-lookup is a skill published in the GitHub repository oframe/ogpu (139 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Unlicense. It adds 175 tokens to every session and 1,253 once invoked, about $0.0009 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.
