What it does

Mat Dft Electronic Transport is an agent skill from learningmatter-mit/AtomisticSkills. Compute electronic transport properties (mobility, conductivity, Seebeck coefficient) using DFT and AMSET via atomate2.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `examples/GaAs/README.md`, `examples/GaAs/gaas_flow.json` and `scripts/generate_inputs.py`).

The repository describes itself as: Integrating AtomisticSkills into Agentic IDEs (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Google Antigravity, Hermes Agent, etc). The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/mat-dft-electronic-transport”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Construct the AMSET Workflow
  2. Job Execution (via jobflow/Fireworks)
  3. Extract Transport Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6257444. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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):

    • doi.org
    • github.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.

Context cost

Mat Dft Electronic Transport loads about 865 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 331 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~865

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

mat-dft-electronic-transport

Goal

To determine high-fidelity electronic transport properties (e.g., carrier mobility $\mu$, Seebeck coefficient $S$, and electrical conductivity $\sigma$) across various doping concentrations and temperatures using the AMSET (Ab initio Scattering and Transport) package integrated directly into an atomate2 VASP computational flow.

Background

Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials (MLIPs) only predict energies, forces, and stresses; they lack proper electronic wavefunction representations. True electronic transport capabilities require coupling dense Density Functional Theory (DFT) band structures with detailed scattering matrix calculations (acoustic deformation potential scattering, polar optical phonon scattering, etc.). This skill leverages VaspAmsetMaker to seamlessly chain these calculations natively.

Instructions

1. Construct the AMSET Workflow

Use the provided script to generate the sequence (DAG) of VASP computations targeting electronic transport. This automated DAG coordinates structure relaxation, uniform band structure extraction, evaluation of the elastic tensor, and calculations of deformation potentials.

bash
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../venv/run cpu python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/generate_inputs.py --output amset_flow.json
2. Job Execution (via jobflow/Fireworks)

Because this workflow contains numerous sequential and parallel VASP evaluations (e.g., generating strained supercells for deformation potentials), it should be passed to your job management framework rather than run individually. The default script simply serializes the theoretical DAG to JSON.

If operating on a compute-capable node with vasp_std available, it can be tested locally using:

python
import jobflow
# Assuming `flow` is the defined VaspAmsetMaker output
jobflow.run_locally(flow, create_folders=True)
3. Extract Transport Results

Once completed, the final node wraps the AMSET runner. Resulting transport parameters (Mobility, Conductivity) will be dumped into a structured .json and amset.log inside the final Job's folder. Parse these properties natively using standard amset.plot utilities.

Examples

Run the example demonstrating the DAG generation for GaAs transport calculations.

bash
cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/examples/GaAs
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../venv/run cpu python ../../scripts/generate_inputs.py --output gaas_flow.json

Constraints

  • Computational Cost: Extremely high. The dense uniform band structure and multiple deformations require significant CPU hours per material.
  • Environments: Scripts require the cpu environment (atomate2); amset is its transport extra (cpu+transport), needed only where the AMSET jobs execute.
  • K-Point Convergence: Default parameters assume qualitative screening; strict literature matching requires extremely dense k-meshes (e.g., 40x40x40).
