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-workflows Real, 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.
