Install the Cuopt Developer skill

Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)

npx skills add https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills --skill cuopt-developer

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/skills/skills/cuopt-developer ~/.claude/skills/cuopt-developer

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

What it costs your context

Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.

Until it is used, cuopt-developer costs about 29× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,363 tokens on every turn). Installing all 150 skills from NVIDIA/skills would load 20,796 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
