pdf-dft-extractor

pdf-dft-extractor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from InternScience/ChemClaw. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,596 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for extracting molecular coordinates from PDF research papers, especially supplementary files, and converting them into Gaussian input files. Gaussian input files describe calculations for the Gaussian computational chemistry program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process one or many PDFs, extract density-functional theory calculation coordinates, and create separate output folders and .gjf files.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of finding coordinates in papers and preparing them for new calculations.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python extract_dft.py ./pdfs/.

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

pdf-dft-extractor 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (example.py, extract_dft.py, test_skill.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.

PDF DFT Extractor | DFT坐标提取器

Extract DFT calculation coordinates from PDF files (especially supplementary materials) and generate Gaussian input files (.gjf). Supports batch processing with separate output folders for each PDF. 从PDF文件(特别是论文支撑材料)中提取DFT计算坐标,生成Gaussian输入文件(gjf)。支持批量处理,每个PDF文件单独生成一个输出文件夹。

功能特性

  • 📄 PDF转Markdown: 使用MinerU API将PDF转换为结构化Markdown
  • 🧮 自动提取DFT坐标: 从计算化学部分自动识别和提取分子坐标
  • 📁 批量处理: 支持同时处理多个PDF文件
  • 📂 独立输出: 每个PDF文件生成单独的输出文件夹
  • ⚙️ 可配置参数: 支持自定义CPU核数、内存、计算方法等

快速开始

命令行使用

# 单个PDF文件
python extract_dft.py paper.pdf

# 批量处理整个目录
python extract_dft.py ./pdfs/

# 指定输出目录和计算参数
python extract_dft.py ./pdfs/ -o ./output/ --cpu 64 --mem 128GB

Python API使用

from extract_dft import process_pdf, batch_process

# 处理单个PDF
result = process_pdf(
    pdf_path="paper.pdf",
    output_dir="./output/paper1",
    cpu=64,
    mem="128GB",
    method="B3PW91/def2TZVP em=d3bj"
)

# 批量处理
results = batch_process(
    pdf_dir="./pdfs/",
    output_base_dir="./output",
    cpu=64,
    mem="128GB"
)

参数说明

参数 默认值 说明
-o, --output ./dft_output 输出目录
--cpu 64 CPU核数
--mem 128GB 内存
--method B3PW91/def2TZVP em=d3bj 计算方法和色散校正
--solvent SMD(toluene) 溶剂模型
--charge 0 电荷
--multiplicity 1 自旋多重度
--keywords opt freq 计算关键词
--keep-temp False 保留临时文件

关于Gaussian计算方法的写法

在Gaussian中,色散校正需要单独使用em=关键词指定,不要写成B3PW91-D3(BJ)的形式。

✅ 正确写法:

# B3PW91/def2TZVP em=d3bj opt freq

❌ 错误写法:

# B3PW91-D3(BJ)/def2TZVP opt freq   ← 这种写法Gaussian不识别

常用色散校正关键词:

色散校正 关键词
D3 with Becke-Johnson damping em=d3bj
D3 with zero damping em=d3 or em=gd3
D3(BJ) for DFT-D3 em=d3bj
Grimme's GD3 em=gd3
GD3BJ em=gd3bj

示例对比:

# B3PW91 with D3BJ
--method "B3PW91/def2TZVP em=d3bj"

# B3LYP with GD3  
--method "B3LYP/6-31G(d) em=gd3"

# PBE0 with D3BJ
--method "PBE1PBE/def2TZVP em=d3bj"

# ωB97X-D (已内置色散,无需额外添加)
--method "wB97XD/def2TZVP"

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.

pdf-dft-extractor is a skill published in the GitHub repository InternScience/ChemClaw (53 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 2,596 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
