chemical-file-converter

chemical-file-converter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from InternScience/ChemClaw. It costs 76 tokens per session (3,099 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A chemistry file converter for changing molecular structures between formats such as XYZ, Gaussian input, MOL, SDF, PDB, MOL2, SMILES, CML, and MOPAC. These formats store atom coordinates, bonds, or calculation settings in different ways.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert files individually or in batches, create Gaussian input files with a chosen method and basis set, or turn protein structure files into XYZ coordinates.
Why use it?
It avoids rebuilding the same molecular structure when another chemistry program requires a different file format.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — built for openclaw. Also seen: built for openclaw.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is python3 ../mol-2d-viewer/scripts/mol_2d_viewer.py --input output.mol --output structure.png.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

chemical-file-converter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/convert_chemical.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Chemical File Converter

化学文件格式转换技能,支持多种常见化学文件格式之间的互转。

支持的文件格式

格式 扩展名 说明
XYZ .xyz 简单坐标格式,包含原子类型和 3D 坐标
Gaussian Input .gjf, .com Gaussian 计算输入文件
MDL Molfile .mol 单个分子的 2D/3D 结构
Structure Data .sdf, .sd 多个分子的结构数据文件
Protein Data Bank .pdb 生物大分子结构
Tripos Mol2 .mol2 Tripos 分子格式
SMILES .smi, .smiles 线性分子表示
CML .cml 化学标记语言 (XML)
MOPAC .mop, .zmt MOPAC 输入文件

使用方法

对话框中使用

用户可以直接上传文件并要求转换:

把这个 xyz 文件转成 gjf 格式
将 molecule.mol 转换为 .sdf 格式
帮我生成 Gaussian 输入文件,用 B3LYP/6-31G* 方法
把 pdb 文件转成 xyz 坐标
批量转换这些文件为 .mol2 格式

命令行使用

# 基本转换
python3 scripts/convert_chemical.py input.xyz -o output.gjf

# 指定输出格式
python3 scripts/convert_chemical.py input.mol --format sdf

# 批量转换
python3 scripts/convert_chemical.py *.xyz --output-dir ./converted

# Gaussian 输入文件(指定方法和基组)
python3 scripts/convert_chemical.py input.xyz -o output.gjf \
  --method B3LYP --basis 6-31G* --charge 0 --multiplicity 1

# 使用 Open Babel(如果可用)
python3 scripts/convert_chemical.py input.pdb -o output.xyz --use-openbabel

参数说明

参数 简写 说明 默认值
--input -i 输入文件路径 必需
--output -o 输出文件路径 自动生成
--format -f 输出格式 (xyz/sdf/mol2/pdb/gjf 等) 从输出文件扩展名推断
--output-dir -d 输出目录(批量模式) 当前目录
--method -m Gaussian 计算方法 B3LYP
--basis -b Gaussian 基组 6-31G*
--charge 分子电荷 0
--multiplicity 自旋多重度 1
--link0 Gaussian Link0 命令(如 %mem=4GB) 自动
--use-openbabel 强制使用 Open Babel 自动检测
--use-rdkit 强制使用 RDKit 自动检测

工作流程

1. 文件上传和识别

用户上传化学文件后,自动识别文件格式:

# 根据扩展名识别格式
.xyz → xyz
.gjf/.com → gaussian
.mol → mdl
.sdf → sdf
.pdb → pdb
.mol2 → mol2

2. 格式转换

根据目标格式选择合适的转换引擎:

转换类型 推荐引擎 说明
xyz ↔ mol/sdf RDKit 支持 3D 坐标
pdb ↔ xyz Open Babel 生物大分子支持好
任意 → gjf 内置脚本 可自定义 Gaussian 参数
任意格式互转 Open Babel 支持 100+ 格式

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

chemical-file-converter is a skill published in the GitHub repository InternScience/ChemClaw (52 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 3,099 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
