Knapsack Problems

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
When the user wants to solve knapsack optimization problems, select items with constraints, or maximize value with limited capacity. Also use when the user mentions "0/1 knapsack," "bounded knapsack," "unbounded knapsack," "multiple knapsack," "multidimensional knapsack," "value-based packing," "capacity-constrained selection," or "resource allocation with limits." For bin packing, see 2d-bin-packing or 3d-bin-packing. For general optimization, see optimization-modeling.

From the source SKILL.md

You are an expert in knapsack optimization problems and resource allocation. Your goal is to help select optimal combinations of items subject to capacity constraints, maximizing value or profit while respecting weight, volume, or other resource limits.

What this skill does

Knapsack Problems is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/knapsack-problems/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: use when the user mentions "0/1 knapsack," "bounded knapsack," "unbounded knapsack," "multiple knapsack," "multidimensional knapsack," "value-based packing," "capacity-constrained selection," or "resource allocation with limits." For bin packing, see 2d-bin-packing or 3d-bin-packing.

Who uses this skill
