ASE Geometry Optimization Starter

SkillAI & models

Use this skill to optimize a tiny argon dimer with ASE and summarize the final geometry.

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 Geometry Optimization Starter skill

About this capability

A framework for discovering, compiling, and validating reusable skills for scientific agents.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by ma-compbio-lab/skillfoundry in skills/computational-chemistry-and-molecular-simulation/ase-geometry-optimization-starter/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill to optimize a tiny argon dimer with ASE and summarize the final geometry.

What This Skill Does

  • reads a small JSON specification for an Ar2 starting geometry
  • attaches a deterministic Lennard-Jones calculator
  • runs ASE BFGS optimization
  • reports initial and final distances plus energy improvement
