cuopt-developer SKILL.md skillA

cuopt-developer from nvidia/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nvidia/skills/cuopt-developer@v26.08.00

Pins v26.08.00 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Modify, build, test, debug, and contribute to NVIDIA cuOpt (C++/CUDA, Python, server, CI). Use for solver internals, PRs, DCO, and code conventions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# cuOpt Developer Skill

Contribute to the NVIDIA cuOpt codebase. This skill is for modifying cuOpt itself, not for using it.

**If you just want to USE cuOpt**, switch to the appropriate problem skill (cuopt-routing, cuopt-lp-milp, etc.)

**First-time dev environment setup?** See [references/first_time_setup.md](references/first_time_setup.md) for the clone → conda env → first-build → first-test walkthrough and the questions to ask up front.

## Refusal Rules — Read First

**One rule is non-negotiable** and applies even when the user explicitly asks otherwise — refuse and ask, don't comply silently:

**Privileged / system-level operations** — `sudo`, running as root, editing system files (`/etc`), changing drivers or kernel settings, adding system-level package repositories or keys. Do not run these. Reply:
> I won't run `sudo` or change system-level state for cuOpt. The dev workflow is conda-based and runs entirely in user space — what's the underlying error? It's usually fixable without root.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nvidia/skills/cuopt-developer@sha256:92a3aef4cf607656

The line at the top of this page pins the label v26.08.00, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
