dft-siesta

quantum-chemistry
Route SIESTA requests to task-specific subskills based on user intent. Use when the user asks for SIESTA workflows and you must decide between static, relaxation, molecular dynamics, or electronic-analysis preparation. This orchestration skill dispatches to the correct SIESTA subskill and enforces consistent handoff to submission skills.
v0.1.0 Requires a runnable SIESTA environment and compatible pseudopotential/basis setup for target elements. repository source

SIESTA Task Router

Use this skill as the top-level SIESTA orchestration layer.

Purpose

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

  • dft-siesta/static
  • dft-siesta/relax
  • dft-siesta/md
  • dft-siesta/electronic

Scope

This router skill should:

  • require user-provided structure or prerequisite context
  • classify request intent into one SIESTA 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 templates for all SIESTA tasks
  • execute or submit calculations
  • bypass subskill-specific guardrails

Hard requirement

The user must provide enough starting context:

  • structure input for static / relax / md
  • prerequisite converged context for electronic

If prerequisites are missing, stop and ask for them.

Routing rules

  1. If user requests single-point SCF/energy: route to dft-siesta/static.
  2. If user requests geometry optimization: route to dft-siesta/relax.
  3. If user requests molecular dynamics: route to dft-siesta/md.
  4. If user requests electronic analysis workflow: route to dft-siesta/electronic.
  5. If intent is ambiguous, ask one focused clarification question before routing.

Shared policy for all subskills

  • do not invent missing pseudopotential 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)
