dpdata-minimizer SKILL.md skillA

dpdata-minimizer from jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills/dpdata-minimizer@git:20260318.32fc18f

Pins git:20260318.32fc18f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Minimize geometries with dpdata minimizer plugins via System.minimize(), including how minimizers relate to drivers (ASEMinimizer needs a dpdata Driver) and how to list supported minimizers (ase/sqm). Use when doing geometry optimization/minimization through dpdata Python API.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# dpdata-minimizer

Use dpdata “minimizer plugins” to **optimize/minimize geometry** and return a `dpdata.LabeledSystem`.

## Key idea

- A **Minimizer** performs geometry optimization (updates coordinates) and returns labeled results.
- dpdata exposes this as:

```python
System.minimize(*args, minimizer: str|Minimizer, **kwargs) -> LabeledSystem
```

## List supported minimizer keys (runtime)

```python
from dpdata.driver import Minimizer

print(sorted(Minimizer.get_minimizers().keys()))
```

In the current dpdata repo, minimizer keys include:

- `ase`
- `sqm`

## Relationship to drivers (important)

Some minimizers require a **dpdata Driver object**.

Example: `ASEMinimizer` takes a dpdata `Driver` in its constructor:

- `minimizer="ase"` requires `driver=<dpdata Driver>` (e.g. the ASE driver wrapping an ASE calculator).

So you generally do:

1. Construct a driver
1. Construct a minimizer (or let dpdata do it by passing the right kwargs)
1. Call `System.minimize(...)`

## Runnable example: ASE minimizer with an ASE calculator

Use uv inline script metadata so the example runs reproducibly with `uv run`.

```python
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.12"
# dependencies = [
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills/dpdata-minimizer@sha256:38c7c03c441e4c2a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260318.32fc18f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
