## Description

TypeGPU is a tool for type-safe WebGPU development that enables writing shaders in TypeScript. It translates high-level TypeScript function definitions and structures into WebGPU Shading Language source code to automate shader generation and validate logic using a type system.

The project provides a mechanism for cross-library GPU interoperability by sharing typed buffers without copying data to system memory. It also integrates the Model Context Protocol to allow AI agents to inspect generated shader code and diagnose runtime errors.

The system manages WebGPU resource mapping through typed layouts for bind groups and uses schema-based binary encoding to handle memory alignment and buffer sizes. It further supports the definition of GPU data types to ensure consistent data transfer between the processor and the graphics unit.
