Ran the exact command sequence from the README's own 'Local Validation' section end-to-end against the bundled nan-thermo fixture and every script reproduced cleanly — recommend_lammps_recovery.py correctly diagnosed the fixture's real 'Lost atoms' error and NaN thermo line, then produced a concrete restart plan, well beyond what a generic (non-skill) crash-recovery answer gave for the same fixture.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 9/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What LAMMPS Workflows does
Handles LAMMPS atomistic-simulation workflow tasks — generating minimize/NVT/NPT/restart input skeletons, checking a job directory for missing data or potential files, summarizing log.lammps thermo output, and turning crashed/unstable runs into concrete recovery guidance. Triggers on LAMMPS, in.lammps, log.lammps, pair_style/pair_coeff, or ensemble/restart/scheduler requests, and explicitly stays out of plane-wave DFT territory.
How to install LAMMPS Workflows
git clone https://github.com/chatmaterials/lammps-workflows
cd lammps-workflows
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r . ~/.claude/skills/lammps-workflows
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger LAMMPS Workflows
-
/lammps-workflowsReal, tested LAMMPS helper scripts for input generation, job checks, log summaries, and NaN-thermo crash recovery.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
My LAMMPS NVT run crashed with NaN thermo, what happened? -
Generate an NPT input skeleton for a LAMMPS simulation -
Check my LAMMPS job directory for missing potential files
Frequently asked questions
- Is the LAMMPS Workflows skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from chatmaterials/lammps-workflows. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does LAMMPS Workflows work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Ran the exact command sequence from the README's own 'Local Validation' section end-to-end against the bundled nan-thermo fixture and every script reproduced cleanly — recommend_lammps_recovery.py correctly diagnosed the fixture's real 'Lost atoms' error and NaN thermo line, then produced a concrete restart plan, well beyond what a generic (non-skill) crash-recovery answer gave for the same fixture.
- What is the LAMMPS Workflows SkillProof Score?
- 9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install LAMMPS Workflows?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use LAMMPS Workflows with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
