# AGENTS.md — naga

## What is naga

naga is a shader compiler that translates WGSL (WebGPU Shading Language) to all major GPU shader formats. Inspired by Rust naga (gfx-rs). Supports vertex, fragment, and compute shaders.
naga is a shader compiler that translates WGSL (WebGPU Shading Language) to all major GPU shader formats. Inspired by [Rust naga](https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga) — **100% golden-file parity** across all text backends (MSL 91/91, GLSL 68/68, HLSL 72/72, SPIR-V 87/87). 172/172 SPIR-V binary validation. Experimental DXIL backend (161/170 IDxcValidator, 94.7%).

Part of the [GoGPU ecosystem](https://github.com/gogpu) — think Flutter or Qt, but Pure Go with zero CGO.

## When to use naga

- **You write shaders in WGSL** and need SPIR-V for Vulkan → naga compiles it
- **You need MSL** for Metal → naga generates it
- **You need GLSL** for OpenGL ES → naga generates it
- **You need HLSL/DXIL** for DirectX → naga generates it
- **You need MSL** for Metal (macOS/iOS) → naga generates it
- **You need GLSL** for OpenGL 3.3+ / ES 3.0+ → naga generates it
- **You need HLSL** for DirectX 11/12 → naga generates it
- **You need DXIL** for DirectX 12 SM 6.x (no FXC/DXC dependency) → naga generates it

**Usually you don't import naga directly** — wgpu uses it internally for shader compilation. Import naga only if you need standalone shader compilation.

## Output Backends

| Backend | Format | GPU API |
|---------|--------|---------|
| SPIR-V | Binary | Vulkan |
| MSL | Text | Metal (macOS/iOS) |
| GLSL | Text | OpenGL ES |
| HLSL | Text | DirectX (FXC/DXC) |
| DXIL | Binary | DirectX 12 (direct, no FXC) |
| Backend | Format | GPU API | Status |
|---------|--------|---------|--------|
| SPIR-V | Binary | Vulkan | Production (172/172 spirv-val) |
| MSL | Text | Metal (macOS/iOS) | Production (91/91 Rust parity) |
| GLSL | Text | OpenGL 3.3+, ES 3.0+ | Production (68/68 Rust parity) |
| HLSL | Text | DirectX 11/12 | Production (72/72 Rust parity) |
| DXIL | Binary | DirectX 12 (SM 6.0–6.5) | Experimental (94.7% IDxcValidator) |

## Quick Start

```go
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/gogpu/naga"
"github.com/gogpu/naga/wgsl"
"github.com/gogpu/naga/spirv"
"github.com/gogpu/naga/msl"
"github.com/gogpu/naga/glsl"
)

// Parse WGSL
module, _ := wgsl.Parse(wgslSource)
source := `
@vertex
fn main(@builtin(vertex_index) idx: u32) -> @builtin(position) vec4<f32> {
return vec4<f32>(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
}
`

// Validate
validator := naga.NewValidator()
info, _ := validator.Validate(module)
// Simple: WGSL → SPIR-V (one call)
spirvBytes, err := naga.Compile(source)

// Generate SPIR-V
writer := spirv.NewWriter()
spirvBytes, _ := writer.Write(module, info)
// Multi-backend: Parse → Lower → Generate
ast, _ := naga.Parse(source)
module, _ := naga.Lower(ast)

spirvBytes, _ := naga.GenerateSPIRV(module, spirv.Options{})
mslCode, _, _ := msl.Compile(module, msl.DefaultOptions())
glslCode, _, _ := glsl.Compile(module, glsl.DefaultOptions())
```

## Build & Test

```bash
go build ./...
go test ./...

# Quality gate — Rust reference comparison
go test -run TestRustReference -count=1 ./snapshot/

# SPIR-V binary validation
go test -run TestSpirvValBinarySummary -v -count=1 ./snapshot/

# Lint
golangci-lint run --timeout=5m
```

## Snapshot Testing

Golden file names in `snapshot/testdata/golden/` match Rust naga test shader names **exactly, 1:1** (mixed naming conventions from upstream — do not rename). See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.
