pymatgen-structure SKILL.md skillA

pymatgen-structure 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/pymatgen-structure@v0.1.0

Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Structure manipulation and crystal analysis workflows based on pymatgen. USE WHEN you need to read/write common atomistic formats (CIF, POSCAR, XYZ), build supercells, perform site substitution/doping, inspect symmetry (space group), or compute local structure descriptors for materials tasks.

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

# pymatgen Structure Operations

Use this skill to perform **structure preprocessing and analysis** with `pymatgen`.

## Scope

This skill should:

- require at least one user-provided structure file
- parse and normalize common structure formats
- perform requested geometry edits (for example supercell, substitution)
- run basic crystal analysis (for example symmetry, composition)
- write explicit output files and summarize key changes

This skill should **not**:

- submit HPC jobs
- run expensive DFT/MD production calculations
- invent missing scientific intent (for example random doping strategy) without confirmation

If the user asks for DFT submission, hand off to a submission skill such as `dpdisp-submit` after preprocessing is done.

## Hard requirement

The user must provide an input structure source (file path or explicit coordinates + lattice).

If structure input is missing, stop and ask for it.

## Supported input/output formats

Typical input formats:

- `cif`
- `POSCAR` / `CONTCAR`
- `xyz` (for non-periodic or when cell is provided separately)
- other formats supported by `pymatgen` IO backends

Typical output formats:

- `cif`
- `POSCAR`
- `xyz`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills/pymatgen-structure@sha256:2c0700a85cb8a038

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
