Nonlinear Optimization Solver
Purpose
Provides capabilities for solving general nonlinear optimization problems including constrained and unconstrained formulations.
Capabilities
- Gradient-based methods (BFGS, L-BFGS, CG)
- Newton and quasi-Newton methods
- Interior point methods
- Sequential quadratic programming (SQP)
- Global optimization (basin-hopping, differential evolution)
- Constraint handling
Usage Guidelines
- Starting Point: Provide good initial guesses
- Gradient Information: Supply gradients when available
- Global vs Local: Choose global methods for multimodal problems
- Constraint Handling: Use appropriate constraint formulations
Tools/Libraries
- IPOPT
- KNITRO
- NLopt
- scipy.optimize
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
