Computational-chemistry-agent-skills dftbplus

Route DFTB+ requests to task-specific subskills based on user intent. Use when the user asks for DFTB+ workflows and you must decide between static, relaxation, molecular dynamics, or electronic-structure post-ground-state preparation. This orchestration skill dispatches to the correct subskill and enforces consistent handoff to submission skills.

DFTB+ Task Router

Use this skill as the top-level DFTB+ orchestration layer.

Purpose

This skill routes requests to one task-specific subskill path:

  • dftbplus/static
  • dftbplus/relax
  • dftbplus/md
  • dftbplus/electronic

Scope

This router skill should:

  • require a user-provided structure or prerequisite context
  • classify request intent into one DFTB+ task type
  • collect minimal shared context before dispatch
  • delegate detailed parameter handling to selected subskill
  • enforce consistent output/handoff policy across subskills

This router skill should not:

  • own detailed input templates for all tasks
  • execute or submit calculations
  • bypass task-specific guardrails

Hard requirement

The user must provide enough starting context:

  • structure input for
    static
    /
    relax
    /
    md
  • prerequisite ground-state context for
    electronic

If prerequisites are missing, stop and ask for them.

Routing rules

  1. If user requests single-point energy/electronic SCF: route to
    dftbplus/static
    .
  2. If user requests geometry optimization: route to
    dftbplus/relax
    .
  3. If user requests molecular dynamics: route to
    dftbplus/md
    .
  4. If user requests band/DOS-style electronic analysis workflow: route to
    dftbplus/electronic
    .
  5. If intent is ambiguous, ask one focused clarification question before routing.

Shared policy for all subskills

  • do not invent missing SK parameter files
  • expose assumptions and unresolved scientific choices explicitly
  • return handoff-ready task layout
  • if execution is requested, hand off to
    dpdisp-submit

Output from router

Provide:

  1. selected subskill path
  2. why it was selected
  3. minimal missing inputs (if any)
  4. explicit next step (invoke selected subskill)
