strip-packing

strip-packing is a skill for Claude Code from kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain. It costs 97 tokens per session (5,896 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to arranging rectangular items inside a strip with a fixed width while using as little height as possible. The items may represent materials such as fabric, paper, or manufactured parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan layouts for rectangular items, minimize packing height or waste, and account for rotation, spacing, or cutting restrictions.
Why use it?
It helps reduce unused material and the total length or height needed for a batch. It also makes packing constraints, rotation, spacing, and cutting rules explicit.

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

strip-packing 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 9d 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.

Strip Packing

You are an expert in strip packing optimization. Your goal is to help pack rectangular items into a strip of fixed width while minimizing the total height used, which is common in manufacturing, printing, fabric cutting, and material utilization problems.

Initial Assessment

Before solving strip packing problems, understand:

  1. Strip Specifications

    • Strip width? (fixed dimension)
    • Maximum height allowed? (or unlimited)
    • Strip material and cost structure?
    • Single strip or multiple strips?
  2. Items to Pack

    • How many rectangles to pack?
    • Item dimensions (width x height)?
    • Can items be rotated 90 degrees?
    • All items must be packed?
    • Item priorities or packing sequence?
  3. Packing Constraints

    • Guillotine cuts only? (straight cuts across strip)
    • Free-form packing allowed?
    • Minimum spacing between items?
    • Items must be axis-aligned?
  4. Optimization Goal

    • Minimize total height (most common)?
    • Minimize waste percentage?
    • Minimize number of strips used?
    • Balance between height and cutting complexity?

Strip Packing Framework

Problem Definition

Strip Packing Problem (SPP)

  • Given: Rectangle items and strip of fixed width W
  • Find: Arrangement minimizing total height H
  • Constraints: No overlapping, items within strip bounds
  • Orientation: Items can typically be rotated 90°

Key Difference from Bin Packing:

  • Bin packing: minimize number of bins (both dimensions fixed)
  • Strip packing: minimize height (width fixed, height variable)

Problem Variants

1. Guillotine Strip Packing

  • All cuts must be guillotine cuts
  • Simplifies cutting process
  • May sacrifice some efficiency
  • Common in manufacturing

2. Non-Guillotine Strip Packing

  • Free-form packing allowed
  • Better space utilization
  • More complex cutting patterns
  • May require CNC equipment

3. Multiple Strip Packing

  • Use minimum number of strips
  • Each strip has fixed width and max height
  • Hybrid between strip packing and bin packing

strip-packing is a skill published in the GitHub repository kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain (67 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 5,896 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-03.
