Computational-chemistry-agent-skills relax

Prepare VASP geometry-relaxation input tasks from a user-provided structure and essential DFT settings. Use when the user needs ionic or cell-coupled relaxation and requires explicit ISIF-driven relaxation intent mapping, INCAR generation, and POTCAR mapping instructions.

VASP Relaxation (Subskill)

Scope

This skill prepares relaxation tasks only.

It should generate:

  • POSCAR
  • INCAR
  • optional
    KPOINTS
  • POTCAR mapping/assembly instructions

It should not submit or execute jobs.

Relaxation intent is mandatory

Before assigning

ISIF
, classify user intent:

  • ion-only relaxation
  • cell+ion relaxation
  • low-dimensional/slab-style relaxation policy

If intent is ambiguous, ask for clarification.

Must provide

  • structure input
  • ENCUT
  • ISMEAR
    /
    SIGMA
  • relaxation controls:
    IBRION
    ,
    NSW
    ,
    EDIFFG
    ,
    ISIF
  • k-point policy (
    KSPACING
    default or explicit mesh)
  • POTCAR mapping for each element

Usually should be explicit

  • EDIFF
  • NELM
  • PREC
  • LREAL
  • ISPIN
    /
    MAGMOM
    when relevant
  • IVDW
    when relevant

K-point policy

  • default:
    KSPACING
    in
    INCAR
  • generate
    KPOINTS
    only when explicit manual mesh is requested

Expected output

  1. task directory with generated input files
  2. explicit
    ISIF
    selection rationale
  3. settings summary and assumptions
  4. unresolved choices for user confirmation
  5. handoff note to
    dpdisp-submit
    if execution is requested
