Computational-chemistry-agent-skills static

Prepare VASP static SCF input tasks from a user-provided structure and essential DFT settings. Use when the user needs single-point electronic structure/total-energy calculations with INCAR generation, KSPACING-based k-point policy (or explicit KPOINTS on request), and POTCAR mapping instructions.

VASP Static SCF (Subskill)

Scope

This skill prepares static SCF tasks only.

It should generate:

  • POSCAR
  • INCAR
  • optional
    KPOINTS
    (manual mesh only when requested)
  • POTCAR mapping/assembly instructions

It should not submit or execute jobs.

Must provide

  • structure input
  • ENCUT
  • k-point policy (
    KSPACING
    default or explicit mesh)
  • ISMEAR
    /
    SIGMA
  • 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 user asks for explicit mesh

Expected output

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