ml-mlip-nvalchemi

ml-mlip-nvalchemi is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from learningmatter-mit/AtomisticSkills. It costs 59 tokens per session (5,442 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A GPU-based tool for running machine-learning atomistic models on many structures at once. It predicts energies, forces, and stresses, and can also relax structures or run molecular-dynamics simulations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate batches of molecular or crystal structures, optimize their geometries, or simulate their motion over time.
Why use it?
It removes the need to process structures one by one, which can make large simulation batches slow. It uses parallel GPU processing when the required NVIDIA toolkit is installed.

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

ml-mlip-nvalchemi 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/run_md_benchmark.py, scripts/run_nvalchemi_benchmark.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.

ml-mlip-nvalchemi

Goal

Exploit NVIDIA's NValchemi toolkit to run energy/force/stress predictions, geometry relaxations, and molecular dynamics for a batch of structures in a single GPU-parallel forward pass, instead of N sequential CPU loops. This is automatically activated when nvalchemi-toolkit is installed in the environment — the existing MCP tool surface (static_calculation, relax_structure, run_md) passes a list of structures and dispatches to the NValchemi backend transparently.

Background

NValchemi provides batched dynamics integrators (FIRE, NVT Nose-Hoover, NPT, etc.) and a BaseModelMixin interface. AtomisticSkills wraps each MLIP in a BaseModelMixin-compatible class:

MLIP NValchemi wrapper Location
MACE nvalchemi.models.mace.MACEWrapper upstream (nvalchemi-toolkit)
MatGL TensorNet matgl.ext._alchmtk.TensorNetWrapper matgl package
MatGL M3GNet M3GNetWrapper src/utils/mlips/nvalchemi/matgl_wrappers.py
MatGL CHGNet CHGNetWrapper src/utils/mlips/nvalchemi/matgl_wrappers.py
MatGL QET QETWrapper matgl package
FairChem UMA FairChemWrapper src/utils/mlips/nvalchemi/fairchem_nv.py

The dispatch lives in src/utils/mlips/base.py:

  • static_calculation(list)_batch_static_nvalchemi() → single batched forward
  • relax_structure(list)_batch_relax_nvalchemi() → batched FIRE
  • run_md(list)_batch_md_nvalchemi() → batched NVT/NVE/NPT integrator

Inflight batching (relaxation)

For relax_structure, there are three execution backends selected automatically:

_batch_relax()
 ├─ nvalchemi available AND model loads?
 │    YES → _batch_relax_nvalchemi()
 │              └─ sum(atoms) > max_batch_atoms AND model._nvalchemi_supports_inflight?
 │                   YES → _batch_relax_nvalchemi_inflight()   ← rolling GPU window
 │                   NO  → fixed-batch NValchemi               ← all structures at once
 │    NO  → _batch_relax_sequential()                          ← plain ASE FIRE, one by one

What ships with it

3 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.

ml-mlip-nvalchemi is a skill published in the GitHub repository learningmatter-mit/AtomisticSkills (158 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 5,442 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
