Selecting Backends

When To Use

Use this skill when a user needs to choose, configure, compare, or debug Isaac Lab physical backends or renderer-related behavior.

Do not use this skill to duplicate backend reference material. Link to the backend architecture, backend and preset selector, schema cfg docs, and source examples for current configuration details. If the user is converting or validating a specific USD asset for Newton, use isaaclab-preparing-assets-for-newton.
