Innovation Game Miner FAQs

Question 1

What is the Innovation Game Miner skill for Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

The Innovation Game Miner is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to help developers build, test, and optimize high-performance algorithms for The Innovation Game (TIG) platform. It focuses on three main NP-hard challenges: Boolean Satisfiability (3-SAT), Capacitated Vehicle Routing (CVRP), and Knapsack problems.

Question 2

How does this skill improve the algorithm development workflow?

Accepted Answer

This skill provides structured workflows for cloning repositories, implementing solver logic within specific TIG resource constraints (Python 3.9/NumPy), and performing local performance benchmarking. It guides you through vectorization and time management strategies to ensure your code is competitive.

Question 3

Can Claude help me submit algorithms to the TIG platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The skill includes a dedicated Submission Management workflow. It helps you check TIG token costs, verify your balance, perform free dry-run validations to prevent syntax errors, and execute the final production submission to the TIG repository.

Question 4

Which specific challenges are supported by this skill?

Accepted Answer

It provides comprehensive support for the three core TIG challenges: c001_satisfiability (3-SAT), c002_vehicle_routing (CVRP), and c003_knapsack. It includes specialized strategies and optimization patterns for each problem type.

Question 5

How does the local testing feature work?

Accepted Answer

The skill provides CLI commands and scripts to test your solvers across various difficulty levels and seed ranges. This allows you to measure success rates and execution times locally to ensure your algorithm stays within the 15-second TIG limit before you spend tokens on a submission.
