ASE Workflows Router

SkillProductivity

Route ASE atomistic workflow requests to task-specific subskills based on user intent. Use when the user asks for ASE-based static, relaxation, MD, or NEB workflows and you must apply consistent workflow controls independent of calculator backend.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the ASE Workflows Router skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills in atomistic-workflows/ase/ase-workflows/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill as the top-level ASE workflow orchestration layer.

Purpose

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

  • ase/ase-workflows/static
  • ase/ase-workflows/relax
  • ase/ase-workflows/md
  • ase/ase-workflows/neb

Scope

This router skill should:

  • classify user intent into one ASE workflow type
  • collect minimal task context (goal, convergence target, outputs)
  • delegate detailed workflow controls to selected subskill
  • request calculator backend via ase/ase-calculators router
  • enforce consistent output/handoff policy

This router skill should not:

  • hardcode backend-specific calculator parameters
  • execute or submit calculations directly

Routing rules

  1. single-point energy/force/stress -> ase/ase-workflows/static
  2. geometry optimization -> ase/ase-workflows/relax
  3. finite-temperature trajectory -> ase/ase-workflows/md
  4. reaction path / transition-state pathway -> ase/ase-workflows/neb

If intent is ambiguous, ask one focused clarification question.

Shared policy for all workflow subskills

  • separate workflow logic from backend adapter logic
  • expose assumptions and unresolved choices
  • return reproducible task layout and run script
  • if execution is requested, hand off to dpdisp-submit

Output from router

Provide:

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