# 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.
