Agent Skills: crystal structure plot

Young Woo Choi <ywchoi02@sogang.ac.kr> ·

A simple Claude Code agent skill for crystal structure plotting. A reasonable starting point for further tuning.

How to use

Ask the agent to install https://github.com/sogang-qmp/skills-crystal-plot, then ask it in natural language. The skill triggers on phrases like plot the structure of MoS2 monolayer, render this POSCAR, VESTA-like figure of bulk Si, or Korean equivalents (결정구조 플롯, 원자구조 그려). Pass either a structure file (.cif, POSCAR, .vasp, .xyz, .traj) or a preset such as mx2:MoS2, bulk:Si, graphene. The agent runs the renderer and returns a PNG.

Defaults (perspective angle, bond cutoff, color palette, depth scaling) are set to reasonable values. For fine tuning just tell the agent in natural language, e.g. use a steeper tilt, no cell box, repeat 4×4×1.
