Computational-chemistry-agent-skills band

Prepare VASP band-structure workflow inputs from existing SCF context and user-specified band-path settings. Use when the user requests electronic band-structure calculations and needs explicit prerequisite checks, line-mode KPOINTS path setup, and stage-specific INCAR preparation.

VASP Band Preparation (Subskill)

Scope

This skill prepares band-structure-stage input tasks only.

It should:

  • verify prerequisite SCF context is available
  • generate line-mode/high-symmetry-path
    KPOINTS
  • prepare stage-appropriate INCAR settings
  • report assumptions and unresolved choices

It should not submit or execute jobs.

Prerequisites

Require explicit prior SCF context and a clear crystal/path convention for band calculation.

If prerequisites are missing, stop and ask for them.

Must provide

  • source SCF context path
  • crystal/path convention (or explicit k-path)
  • band intent and output expectations
  • key electronic/smearing policy for the band stage

Usually should be explicit

  • line-mode path source and tolerance
  • ISMEAR
    policy for band stage
  • LORBIT
    and projection-related options when requested

Expected output

  1. band-stage task directory/input updates
  2. generated line-mode
    KPOINTS
    summary
  3. prerequisite check summary
  4. settings summary and assumptions
  5. handoff note to
    dpdisp-submit
    if execution is requested
