DFTB+ Task Router

SkillProductivity

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.

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 DFTB+ Task Router skill

What this skill tells your AI

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

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)
