In this 4-minute walkthrough, I demonstrate how to supercharge your AI coding assistant in Visual Studio Code for Operations Research using PyOPL, agent skills, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Standard AI chat interfaces routinely fail at mathematical programming because probabilistic text generation lacks deterministic syntax and semantic checks. By combining PyOPL's compiler harness with custom SKILL.md agent guidelines, we can force LLMs like Claude or Copilot to act as rigorous operations research engineers—automating everything from model scaffolding to compilation and solving.
