DirectX Agility SDK
Microsoft's Agility SDK lets applications distribute D3D12Core and adopt newer DirectX 12 interfaces and features.
Why use it
Windows games can use capabilities such as Mesh Shaders and ray tracing without relying entirely on OS update cadence.
Where it fits
Find engines, frameworks, code libraries, version control, and production automation.
What to check
It requires eligible Windows versions and drivers; redistribution and feature detection must follow SDK terms.
