What it does

Lammps Router is an agent skill from Hello-QM/catgo-LRG. Route LAMMPS molecular dynamics requests to force-field-specific sub-skills. Use when the user requests LAMMPS with a specific potential type (DeePMD, ReaxFF).

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires LAMMPS installed on HPC. Specific packages must be compiled in depending on the force field (e.g., DEEPMD for DeePMD, REAXFF for ReaxFF).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Physical and earth sciences. The repository describes itself as: AI-driven workbench for computational materials science — interactive 3D structure viewer, natural-language CatBot assistant, visual DAG workflow engine, HPC job submission… The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user requests LAMMPS with a specific potential type (DeePMD
  • Tasks that involve Physical and earth sciences

Example prompts

  • “/lammps-router”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires LAMMPS installed on HPC. Specific packages must be compiled in depending on the force field (e.g., DEEPMD for DeePMD, REAXFF for ReaxFF).

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Always specify units — LAMMPS has multiple unit systems. DeePMD uses metal, ReaxFF uses real.
  2. Timestep must match units — metal: 1 fs = 0.001 ps; real: 1 fs.
  3. Dump trajectory — always include dump command for trajectory output.
  4. Thermo output — always include thermo and thermo_style for monitoring.
  5. Restart files — write restart files periodically for long simulations.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd6291b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires LAMMPS installed on HPC. Specific packages must be compiled in depending on the force field (e.g., DEEPMD for DeePMD, REAXFF for ReaxFF).

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Lammps Router loads about 468 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~468

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

LAMMPS Router

Route LAMMPS requests to the appropriate force-field sub-skill.

Routing Table

User intentRoute to
LAMMPS with DeePMD potential / DP modeldeepmd/SKILL.md
LAMMPS with ReaxFF reactive force fieldreaxff/SKILL.md
General LAMMPS MD (EAM, Tersoff, LJ)Use CatGo's built-in MD task type

Shared Policies

  1. Always specify units — LAMMPS has multiple unit systems. DeePMD uses metal, ReaxFF uses real.
  2. Timestep must match units — metal: 1 fs = 0.001 ps; real: 1 fs.
  3. Dump trajectory — always include dump command for trajectory output.
  4. Thermo output — always include thermo and thermo_style for monitoring.
  5. Restart files — write restart files periodically for long simulations.

Quick Decision Guide

  • "MD with machine learning potential" / "DP-MD" → deepmd/SKILL.md
  • "Reactive MD" / "ReaxFF" / "combustion" / "oxidation" → reaxff/SKILL.md
  • "Simple MD" / "LJ" / "EAM" / "metal MD" → use CatGo built-in MD task
  • "Convert trajectory" → ../data/dpdata/SKILL.md

General LAMMPS via CatGo (Built-in)

For standard force fields, CatGo's MD engine can be used directly:

catgo_workflow_engine(action="add_task", params={
  "workflow_id": "wf_xxx",
  "task_type": "md",
  "software": "lammps",
  "structure": "<json>",
  "temperature": 300,
  "timestep": 1.0,
  "nsteps": 100000,
  "system_name": "Cu_melt"
})

For specialized potentials (DeePMD, ReaxFF), use the sub-skills.
