What this skill does



# cuOpt Numerical Optimization — C API

Solve LP, MILP, and QP problems via the cuOpt C API. The same library, headers, build pattern, and core calls (`cuOptCreate*Problem`, `cuOptSolve`, `cuOptGetObjectiveValue`) apply across all three; QP extends the API with quadratic-objective creation calls.

Confirm problem type and formulation (variables, objective, constraints, variable types) before coding.

This skill is **C only**.

## API Call Sequence

For LP/MILP, the ordered C entry points are: `cuOptCreateRangedProblem` (sense `CUOPT_MINIMIZE` / `CUOPT_MAXIMIZE`, CSR constraint matrix as `row_offsets` / `col_indices` / `values`, `var_types` char array using `CUOPT_CONTINUOUS` / `CUOPT_INTEGER` macros) → `cuOptSolve(problem, settings, &solution)` → `cuOptGetObjectiveValue(solution, &obj_value)` → matching `cuOptDestroy*` calls. Include `<cuopt/linear_programming/cuopt_c.h>`. Full ordered code with build instructions in [references/examples.md](references/examples.md).

## QP via C API (beta)

QP uses the same library, include/lib paths, and build pattern as LP/MILP — only the problem-creation call differs (it accepts a quadratic objective). See the cuOpt C headers (`cpp/include/cuopt/linear_programming/`) for the QP-specific creation/solve calls and the repo docs at `docs/cuopt/source/cuopt-c/lp-qp-milp/` for end-to-end QP examples.

**QP rules:**
- **MINIMIZE only** (`CUOPT_MINIMIZE`). To maximize `f(x)`, negate objective coefficients and Q entries.
- **Continuous variables only** — set `CUOPT_CONTINUOUS` for every variable; integer QP is not supported.
- **Q should be PSD** for a convex problem.

## Debugging (MPS / C)

**MPS parsing:** Required sections in order: NAME, ROWS, COLUMNS, RHS, (optional) BOUNDS, ENDATA. Integer markers: `'MARKER'`, `'INTORG'`, `'INTEND'`.

**OOM or slow:** Check problem size (variables, constraints); use sparse matrix; set time limit and gap tolerance.

## Examples

- [examples.md](references/examples.md) — LP/MILP with build instructions
- [assets/README.md](assets/README.md) — Build commands for all reference code below
- [lp_basic](assets/lp_basic/) — Simple LP: create problem, solve, get solution
- [lp_duals](assets/lp_duals/) — Dual values and reduced costs
- [lp_warmstart](assets/lp_warmstart/) — PDLP warmstart (see README)
- [milp_basic](assets/milp_basic/) — Simple MILP with integer variable
- [milp_production_planning](assets/milp_production_planning/) — Production planning with resource constraints
- [mps_solver](assets/mps_solver/) — Solve from MPS file via `cuOptReadProblem`

For **CLI** (MPS files), use `cuopt_cli` and product docs.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
