At a glance

Prepare GPAW band-structure workflow scripts from existing ground-state context and user-specified k-path settings.

  • Works in 5 steps: band-stage script/input updates → k-path summary → prerequisite check summary → …
  • The user requests electronic band-structure calculations with explicit prerequisite checks and path-definition handling
  • SKILL.md covers Scope, Prerequisites, Must provide and Usually should be explicit, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Band is an agent skill from jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills. Prepare GPAW band-structure workflow scripts from existing ground-state context and user-specified k-path settings. Use when the user requests electronic band-structure calculations with explicit prerequisite checks and path-definition handling.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 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 prerequisite ground-state context and runnable GPAW+ASE Python environment.

The repository describes itself as: Agent skills to run computational-chemistry tasks, used in OpenClaw. The licence is LGPL-3.0-or-later.

When your agent uses it

  • The user requests electronic band-structure calculations with explicit prerequisite checks and path-definition handling

Example prompts

  • “/band”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires prerequisite ground-state context and runnable GPAW+ASE Python environment.

Workflow steps

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

  1. band-stage script/input updates
  2. k-path summary
  3. prerequisite check summary
  4. settings summary and assumptions
  5. handoff note to dpdisp-submit if execution is requested

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5c19e75. 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 prerequisite ground-state context and runnable GPAW+ASE Python environment.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Band loads about 379 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 118 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~379

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.

GPAW Band Preparation (Subskill)

Scope

This skill prepares band-structure-stage tasks only.

It should:

  • verify prerequisite ground-state context
  • generate or validate high-symmetry k-path settings
  • prepare stage-appropriate script/settings
  • report assumptions and unresolved choices

It should not submit or execute jobs.

Prerequisites

Require explicit prior converged ground-state context and a clear path convention.

If prerequisites are missing, stop and ask for them.

Must provide

  • source ground-state context path
  • k-path convention or explicit path
  • points-per-segment / resolution policy
  • band intent and output expectations

Usually should be explicit

  • symmetry/path generator source
  • spin/channel projection expectations
  • plotting/export format expectations

Expected output

  1. band-stage script/input updates
  2. k-path summary
  3. prerequisite check summary
  4. settings summary and assumptions
  5. handoff note to dpdisp-submit if execution is requested
