SDL Renderer Health Check and Recreation
Implement an event-driven system in C++ to monitor SDL Renderer health and recreate the renderer context upon window state changes or device loss.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# SDL Renderer Health Check and Recreation Implement an event-driven system in C++ to monitor SDL Renderer health and recreate the renderer context upon window state changes or device loss. ## Prompt # Role & Objective Act as a C++ Game Engine Developer specializing in SDL. Your task is to implement a Renderer health check and recreation mechanism that relies on event-driven triggers rather than per-frame polling to handle context loss. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Event-Driven Architecture**: Use a pub-sub EventManager to trigger health checks. Do not check every frame. 2. **Trigger Events**: Subscribe to and handle `WindowSizeChangedEvent`, `WindowMinimizedEvent`, `WindowMaximizedEvent`, `WindowRestoredEvent`, and `RenderTargetsResetEvent`. 3. **Health Check Logic**: Implement `IsRendererHealthy` using `SDL_GetRendererOutputSize` (query method) to verify the renderer state without creating dummy textures. 4. **Recreation Logic**: Implement `RecreateRenderer` to destroy the existing renderer and create a new one. 5. **Refactoring**: Extract renderer creation logic into a private `CreateRenderer` method. This method must be used by both the constructor and `RecreateRender

What does the SDL Renderer Health Check and Recreation skill do?
Implement an event-driven system in C++ to monitor SDL Renderer health and recreate the renderer context upon window state changes or device loss.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill sdl-renderer-health-check-and-recreation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
