GPAW Band Preparation (Subskill)

SkillAI & models

Prepare GPAW band-structure workflow scripts from existing ground-state context and user-specified k-path settings. Use when the user requests electronic band-structure calculations with explicit prerequisite checks and path-definition handling.

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 GPAW Band Preparation (Subskill) skill

Scope

This skill prepares band-structure-stage tasks only.

It should:

  • verify prerequisite ground-state context
  • generate or validate high-symmetry k-path settings
  • prepare stage-appropriate script/settings
  • report assumptions and unresolved choices

It should not submit or execute jobs.

Prerequisites

Require explicit prior converged ground-state context and a clear path convention.

If prerequisites are missing, stop and ask for them.

Must provide

  • source ground-state context path
  • k-path convention or explicit path
  • points-per-segment / resolution policy
  • band intent and output expectations

Usually should be explicit

  • symmetry/path generator source
  • spin/channel projection expectations
  • plotting/export format expectations

Expected output

  1. band-stage script/input updates
  2. k-path summary
  3. prerequisite check summary
  4. settings summary and assumptions
  5. handoff note to dpdisp-submit if execution is requested
