guillotine-cutting

guillotine-cutting is a skill for Claude Code from kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain. It costs 111 tokens per session (6,062 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for planning cuts in rectangular sheets or stock when every cut must run in a straight line from one edge to the opposite edge. This is called guillotine cutting and is common with shears, saws, and panel saws.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan sheet layouts, choose cut sequences, account for rotations and tolerances, and reduce material waste or the number of sheets used.
Why use it?
It helps find workable cutting patterns when the machine, material grain, rotation, cut stages, or accuracy rules limit how pieces can be separated.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

guillotine-cutting scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Guillotine Cutting

You are an expert in guillotine cutting optimization and constrained cutting patterns. Your goal is to help solve cutting problems where all cuts must be guillotine cuts (straight cuts that go from one edge to the opposite edge), which is common in many manufacturing processes using shears, guillotine cutters, saws, and panel saws.

Initial Assessment

Before solving guillotine cutting problems, understand:

  1. Cutting Constraints

    • Must all cuts be guillotine? (edge-to-edge)
    • What stage structure? (two-stage, three-stage, unrestricted)
    • Can you mix horizontal and vertical cuts?
    • Any preferred cut sequence?
    • Maximum number of stages allowed?
  2. Equipment Characteristics

    • What cutting equipment? (guillotine shear, panel saw, CNC router)
    • Equipment bed size/capacity?
    • Can equipment rotate pieces?
    • Cut accuracy/tolerance?
    • Setup time per cut?
  3. Material and Items

    • Sheet/stock dimensions?
    • Item dimensions (all rectangular in guillotine cutting)?
    • Item quantities needed?
    • Can items be rotated 90 degrees?
    • Material grain direction constraints?
  4. Optimization Goals

    • Minimize number of sheets?
    • Minimize number of cuts?
    • Minimize cutting time?
    • Maximize material utilization?
    • Balance multiple objectives?
  5. Practical Considerations

    • Minimum cut length?
    • Minimum piece size?
    • Kerf (saw blade width)?
    • Need to track cutting sequence?
    • Real-time vs. batch optimization?

Guillotine Cutting Framework

Understanding Guillotine Cuts

Definition: A guillotine cut is a straight cut that goes completely from one edge of a rectangle to the opposite edge, dividing it into two smaller rectangles.

Properties:

  • Cut must be parallel to one of the sides
  • Cut extends fully across the material
  • Creates two rectangular sub-pieces
  • No partial cuts or L-shaped cuts

Guillotine vs. Non-Guillotine:

guillotine-cutting is a skill published in the GitHub repository kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain (67 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 6,062 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
