Train DeePMD-kit models with progressive disclosure. An agent skill from jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills.

  • Works in 6 steps: Confirm environment → Confirm training data → Read the selected model reference → …
  • The user wants to train a DeePMD-kit potential
  • SKILL.md covers Progressive disclosure protocol, Model selection, Common workflow and Agent checklist, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Deepmd Train is an agent skill from jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills. Train DeePMD-kit models with progressive disclosure. Use when the user wants to train a DeePMD-kit potential, prepare an input.json, choose between model families such as see2a/DeepPot-SE and DPA3, run dp train, monitor learning curves, freeze checkpoints, or test trained models. Start with model selection and read only the selected model reference under models/ when model-specific configuration is needed.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `models/dpa3.md` and `models/se-e2-a.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires deepmd-kit installed. The selected backend and model may require PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Paddle, GPU support, or custom OP libraries.

It sits in Data & Analytics. 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 wants to train a DeePMD-kit potential
  • Prepare an input.json
  • Choose between model families such as see2a/DeepPot-SE and DPA3
  • Monitor learning curves

Example prompts

  • “/deepmd-train”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires deepmd-kit installed. The selected backend and model may require PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Paddle, GPU support, or custom OP libraries.

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm environment
  2. Confirm training data
  3. Read the selected model reference
  4. Train
  5. Monitor
  6. Freeze and test

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 (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.deepmodeling.com

    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 deepmd-kit installed. The selected backend and model may require PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Paddle, GPU support, or custom OP libraries.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Deepmd Train loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 537 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

DeePMD-kit Training

Use this skill to guide DeePMD-kit model training without loading every model-specific recipe up front. The workflow is intentionally progressive:

  1. Understand the user's data, target accuracy, compute budget, and deployment backend.
  2. Choose an appropriate model family.
  3. Read only the reference file for the selected model under models/.
  4. Generate or edit input.json, run training, monitor, freeze, and test.

Progressive disclosure protocol

Do not start by reading every model document. First classify the request:

  • If the user already named a model, read only that model reference.
  • If the user asks for a recommendation, collect the decision inputs below, choose a model, then read only the selected reference.
  • If model-specific parameters are not needed yet, stay in this top-level workflow.

Available model references:

Model referenceRead when
models/se-e2-a.mdThe user wants a classical DeepPot-SE baseline, broad compatibility, or a smaller/established production model.
models/dpa3.mdThe user wants a high-accuracy DPA3/LAM workflow, large/diverse datasets, dynamic neighbor selection, or pretrained DPA3-style training.

Model selection

Ask only for missing information that changes the choice. Prefer reasonable defaults when the answer is obvious from context.

Key inputs:

  • Data format and size: deepmd/npy, deepmd/hdf5, mixed type, number of systems/frames/elements.
  • Target: quick baseline, production accuracy, large atomic model, transfer/fine-tuning, or deployment in MD.
  • Compute: CPU/GPU, available memory, single-node vs. distributed training.
  • Backend/deployment: PyTorch/TensorFlow/JAX/Paddle training; LAMMPS, Python inference, or other downstream use.
  • Labels: energy/force only or also virial/stress.
  • System diversity: single chemistry/phase vs. diverse multi-domain datasets.

Recommended defaults:

  • Choose se_e2_a for a robust baseline, small to medium systems, compatibility-focused workflows, or when compute is limited.
  • Choose DPA3 for high accuracy on diverse datasets, LAM-style training, or when the user explicitly asks for DPA3, DPA-3, LiGS, dynamic neighbor selection, or pretrained DPA3 variants.

Common workflow

1. Confirm environment
bash
dp --version

For PyTorch training, use dp --pt ...; for TensorFlow, use dp ...; for other backends, confirm the installed backend first.

Show full SKILL.md (227 more words)Show less
2. Confirm training data

Training data should be in DeePMD format, typically deepmd/npy or deepmd/hdf5. If the user has raw electronic-structure outputs, convert them first with dpdata before writing the training input.

Minimum information needed to build input.json:

  • type_map
  • training system paths
  • validation system paths
  • whether virial labels are present and should be trained
  • target number of steps or accuracy/time budget
  • model choice
3. Read the selected model reference

After selecting a model, read the corresponding file under models/ and apply its model-specific configuration, hyperparameters, and caveats.

4. Train
bash
dp --pt train input.json

Use the backend-specific command if not using PyTorch.

Restart from a checkpoint when needed:

bash
dp --pt train input.json --restart model.ckpt.pt
5. Monitor

Training progress is usually written to lcurve.out. Check for:

  • decreasing validation RMSE
  • NaN or exploding losses
  • train/validation divergence
  • learning-rate schedule behaving as expected
6. Freeze and test
bash
dp --pt freeze -o model.pth
dp --pt test -m model.pth -s /path/to/test_system -n 30

Adjust the backend flags and output extension for non-PyTorch models.

Agent checklist

  • Model was selected before reading model-specific details.
  • Only the selected model reference was loaded.
  • Training/validation data paths exist or are clearly marked as placeholders.
  • type_map matches the data and model/pretrained checkpoint.
  • Virial loss is enabled only when virial labels are available and desired.
  • Backend command matches the selected model and installed DeePMD-kit environment.
  • The generated input.json is valid JSON.
  • Training was monitored via lcurve.out or equivalent logs.
  • Final model was frozen and tested when requested.
