mlp-to-lammps

mlp-to-lammps is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SFETNI/Deep-Matter-Chem-Skills. It costs 6 tokens per session (11,148 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment workflow for using trained machine-learning interatomic potentials in LAMMPS, a program for large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. It covers connecting the model, simulation settings, atom types, units, and computing resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compile LAMMPS with model support, configure MACE, NequIP, Allegro, or DeePMD-kit potentials, map chemical species, tune neighbor lists, and compare results with a Python reference.
Why use it?
It helps prevent differences between the model tested in Python and the model used in a production simulation.

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

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is cmake ../lammps \.

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

mlp-to-lammps scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d ago.

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.

MLP to LAMMPS Deployment

Description

This skill covers the full pipeline for deploying trained ML interatomic potentials into LAMMPS for production molecular dynamics: LAMMPS compilation with MLP plugins, pair_style and pair_coeff configuration, species-to-atom-type mapping, unit consistency verification, neighbor list tuning, GPU and MPI parallelism considerations, and validation of LAMMPS inference against the Python/ASE reference before any production run. Covers MACE, NequIP/Allegro, and DeePMD-kit deployment patterns. Invoke this skill after passing mlp-validation and before running production LAMMPS simulations with an ML potential.

Domain Context

LAMMPS is the standard platform for large-scale MLP-driven MD because it handles periodic boundary conditions, neighbor list management, ensemble integrators, and output efficiently for systems of thousands to millions of atoms. However, LAMMPS was designed around classical pair potentials; MLP pair styles are added as plugins that wrap TorchScript, TensorFlow, or custom C++ backends. This creates several non-obvious deployment hazards:

The LAMMPS/Python interface is not automatically consistent. The same model file evaluated via MACECalculator (Python/ASE) and via pair_style mace (LAMMPS C++ plugin) should produce identical forces, but will not if: the element ordering in the LAMMPS data file does not match the model's internal species list; the unit system is set incorrectly; or the plugin was compiled against a different version of the model's backend library than the Python environment uses.

LAMMPS units are explicit, not inferred. units metal uses Å, eV, ps, K, bar. A model trained in eV/Å (ASE convention) must be deployed under units metal. units real uses kcal/mol, Å, fs — correct for AMBER/CHARMM classical force fields but fatal for MLPs trained in eV. There is no automatic conversion; LAMMPS passes atom coordinates to the pair style and receives forces back, and if the units declaration does not match what the model expects, forces are silently wrong by a factor of 23.06 (eV vs kcal/mol) with no error message.

mlp-to-lammps is a skill published in the GitHub repository SFETNI/Deep-Matter-Chem-Skills (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 11,148 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
