I added avp-mvd-alvr-stutter-resolver to my skills in 197e34a, turning what I wrote up in Vision Pro MVD / ALVR Best Practices - No More Stuttering! into something an agent can run. It audits and fixes Apple Vision Pro stutter for Mac Virtual Display and ALVR: AWDL channel hopping, the router's channel and width, the wired path, subnets and GPU encoder contention. The fix is verified twice: the AWDL schedule now stays on a single channel, and ALVR no longer stutters.

I published Vision Pro MVD / ALVR Best Practices - No More Stuttering!, about running Mac Virtual Display and ALVR on an Apple Vision Pro at the same time while playing Elite Dangerous in VR. ALVR stuttered even on a clean channel, because AWDL kept pulling the Mac's radio onto its own social channel; putting the router's primary channel on AWDL's channel (44 in the UK) stopped the hopping, and the ALVR retest confirmed the stutter is gone. The post walks through the network layout and router settings I recommend, and links the avp-mvd-alvr-stutter-resolver skill for anyone who wants an agent to check their setup.

Running Mac Virtual Display and ALVR on an Apple Vision Pro at the same time made ALVR stutter. The fix: put the router on a non-DFS 80 MHz block with its primary channel on AWDL's social channel (44 in the UK), so the Apple devices stop hopping between the router's channel and AWDL's.
