Excerpt

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 for the clone → conda env → first-build → first-test walkthrough and the questions to ask up front.
