mat-reaction-network

mat-reaction-network is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from learningmatter-mit/AtomisticSkills. It costs 22 tokens per session (776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that predicts step-by-step chemical reactions for making a target inorganic solid from selected starting materials. It uses thermodynamic data to compare possible reaction routes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is used to enumerate balanced solid-state reactions, account for open substances such as oxygen, and evaluate pathways at a chosen temperature.
Why use it?
It helps narrow a large number of chemically possible reactions to pathways that are energetically favorable under specified conditions.

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

mat-reaction-network 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (examples/1_predict_liznpo4/run.sh, examples/2_predict_libabo3/run.sh, scripts/enumerate_reactions.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.

Material Reaction Network Prediction

Goal

To predict the optimal sequence of thermodynamically favorable chemical reactions (pathways) needed to synthesize a target generic solid-state material from a set of starting precursors. This skill enumerates large, competitive reaction networks and solves for minimum-energy paths using the materialsproject/reaction-network code and Materials Project API thermodynamics data.

Instructions

1. Reaction Enumeration

Explore the landscape of competing reactions within a specific chemical system by explicitly generating balanced equations.

# Env: base-agent
python .agents/skills/mat-reaction-network/scripts/enumerate_reactions.py --chemsys Ba-Ti-O --enumerator-type basic_open --open-phases O2 --temperature 1000 --limit 10
  • --chemsys: The chemical system to restrict search to.
  • --enumerator-type: The algorithm used to propose reactions (basic, basic_open, minimize_gibbs, minimize_grand_potential).
  • --open-phases: (Specific to basic_open) allow materials to be freely consumed or produced from an infinite reservoir (like environmental O2).
  • --temperature: Synthesis temperature (Kelvin), affects Gibbs adjustments.
  • --limit: Maximum number of elementary reactions to print.

2. Pathfinding and Solving Syntheses

To resolve a complete list of step-by-step reactions that convert specific starting precursors into a target compound, use the pathway solver script.

# Env: base-agent
python .agents/skills/mat-reaction-network/scripts/find_pathways.py --target BaTiO3 --precursors BaO TiO2 --temperature 1000 --k-paths 5
  • --target: The desired final functional material.
  • --precursors: One or more starting materials (e.g., oxides or carbonates).
  • --byproducts: Optional allowed volatile byproducts (e.g., CO2, H2O) escaping into the atmosphere.
  • --k-paths: Number of different candidate elementary pathways to yield.

Examples

Finding pathways to synthesize Yttrium Manganite from carbonates and chlorides:

# Env: base-agent
python .agents/skills/mat-reaction-network/scripts/find_pathways.py \
    --target YMnO3 \
    --precursors YCl3 Mn2O3 Li2CO3 \
    --byproducts LiCl CO2 \
    --temperature 923 \
    --k-paths 5

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.

mat-reaction-network is a skill published in the GitHub repository learningmatter-mit/AtomisticSkills (161 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 776 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
