dft-qe SKILL.md skillA

dft-qe 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/dft-qe@v1.0

Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generate Quantum ESPRESSO DFT input tasks from a user-provided structure plus user-specified DFT settings. Use when the user wants to prepare QE calculations such as SCF, NSCF, relax, vc-relax, MD, bands, DOS, or phonons starting from a structure file or coordinates together with pseudopotentials, functional choice, cutoffs, k-point settings, smearing, spin/charge, and convergence parameters. This skill prepares the QE task only; use a separate submission skill such as dpdisp-submit to submit…

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

# DFT with Quantum ESPRESSO

Use this skill to **build a QE DFT task** from a user-provided structure and DFT settings.

## Scope

This skill should:

- require a user-provided structure
- read or normalize the structure input
- identify the target calculation type
- collect the minimum required DFT settings
- generate the QE input file
- organize the task directory in a way that can be handed off to a submission skill
- state assumptions and unresolved choices

This skill should **not**:

- submit jobs
- manage schedulers
- handle remote execution
- invent critical scientific parameters

If the user wants the task submitted, hand off to another skill such as `dpdisp-submit` after the QE task is generated.

## Hard requirement

The user must provide a structure.

Do not generate a QE task without a user-provided structure source. If the structure is missing, stop and ask for it.

## Structure input convention

Use this bundled example-plus-layout pattern as the reference:

- generated QE input example: `assets/pw-water-0.in`
- user-provided structure staging pattern: `openclaw_input/` containing files such as `structure.xyz` and `CELL`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills/dft-qe@sha256:c83d171db21137af

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
