That sounds like a fun application, both the usage and the implementation.

I wonder if you have any interesting example data-files that could be used with the model, preferable both something small and something larger? Would be fun to test the model locally to see how it behaves.

Notes: I'm assuming here that https://gitlab.com/dustin-space/meal-scheduler/-/blob/master... is the model used.

Unfortunately the model is wildly unoptimized. You can extract small minizinc inputs by `blaze test //plan:wrapper_test` which tests the model on simple use cases, the temporary files will go to `--test_tmpdir`.

I don't have a big minizinc input on hand. In our database it takes about 2 minutes to plan for a weeks meals. The model is probably wildly inefficient and optimizing it is one thing on the long term bug list.

Cool, I'll try that out later on.

If you have the time, extracting a large sample would be nice. Real-world usage is always more interesting than academic examples. Something that takes around 2 minutes feels like a sweet-spot for optimization as well, long enough to matter but not long enough to be annoying to experiment with.
