What it does

Uma Surface Md is an agent skill from Tai609/NebulaMat. Run and diagnose governed ASE plus fairchem UMA molecular dynamics on standardized adsorbed slabs, including NVT/NVE surface trajectories, pre-relaxation, periodic-boundary and collision checks, CUDA/backend triage, and auditable quality gates. Use when a user asks for UMA/fairchem surface MD, adsorbate dynamics, slab thermal screening, trajectory generation, or explains a UMA MD divergence, NaN/Inf, temperature explosion, or CUDA illegal-instruction failure.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/failure-diagnostics.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Quality gates and Physical and earth sciences. It works with CUDA. The repository describes itself as: NebulaMat scientific materials research workbench.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks for UMA/fairchem surface MD
  • Adsorbate dynamics
  • Slab thermal screening
  • Trajectory generation

Example prompts

  • “/uma-surface-md”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Require a governed input. Accept only the adsorbed.extxyz artifact produced by standardize_uma_adsorption_structure_set, with a passing…
  2. Validate slab periodicity and geometry. A surface slab must use pbc=(True, True, False); never replicate the vacuum direction and never…
  3. Reject construction bugs before model loading. For OH/H2O, verify covalent bond lengths and angles, periodic-image separation, finite…
  4. Use the governed runner. Prefer run_uma_surface_md or materials-uma-md. Its default protocol is model uma-s-1p2p1, task oc25, device cuda…
  5. Use conservative dynamics for H/O systems. For a manual ASE run or a diagnostic rerun, start at 0.1-0.25 fs, then increase only after a…
  6. Pre-relax before MD. Freeze the bottom slab layers, attach the UMA calculator, run LBFGS with fmax=0.05 eV/A for at most 200 steps, and…
  7. Guard every trajectory. Record finite energy, kinetic energy, temperature, forces, coordinates, velocities, and minimum distances. Abort…
  8. Isolate CUDA failures. Run each adsorbate in a fresh process. For diagnosis, set CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1, run one forward with…
  9. Audit and interpret. Require status=completed, all replicas complete, finite-value and collision gates passed, and a recorded…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c906ed5. 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.

Context cost

Uma Surface Md loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 685 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~120
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 685 words (~1,557 tokens).

“Treat UMA surface MD as an initial ML-potential dynamics screen, not DFT-AIMD, free-energy sampling, or proof of thermal stability. Preserve standardized input lineage and stop on failed quality gates; never turn a trajectory into a mechanistic, activity, or experimental claim…”
