The purpose of this whitepaper is to describe how to create a Vulkan Layer in symbiosis with the Vulkan ecosystem. By this, we mean creating a layer that can benefit from the tools of the Vulkan ecosystem while following the Vulkan ecosystem conventions so that Vulkan developers don’t have to keep up with constant new behaviors. Instead, we can rely on the behaviors familiar to developers and can focus on using the features of the layers.

The Vulkan validation layers provide important information about the behavior and correctness of applications, and it is important that validation transfers this information to the user as clearly, usefully, and completely as possible.

Community feedback, received through LunarXchange, Github, and Vulkan Ecosystem Surveys have highlighted several areas for improvement and we have recently turned our focus towards updating the layer messaging systems. Read on for more information about these improvements and a link to our new white paper.
