$npx -y skills add jinzhezenggroup/computational-chemistry-agent-skills --skill nebPrepare ASE NEB workflow tasks with backend-agnostic controls. Use when the user needs reaction-path optimization between initial/final states with explicit image construction, spring settings, and convergence controls.
| 1 | # ASE NEB Workflow (Subskill) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Scope |
| 4 | |
| 5 | This subskill prepares NEB workflow tasks only. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | It should generate: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - NEB workflow script with image setup |
| 10 | - optimizer/spring/convergence settings |
| 11 | - output policy for path and barriers |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ## Must provide |
| 14 | |
| 15 | - initial and final structures |
| 16 | - selected backend adapter |
| 17 | - number of images |
| 18 | - optimizer and convergence policy |
| 19 | |
| 20 | ## Usually should be explicit |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - interpolation policy |
| 23 | - climbing-image setting |
| 24 | - spring-constant policy |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ## Expected output |
| 27 | |
| 28 | 1. NEB workflow script/layout |
| 29 | 1. image/convergence summary |
| 30 | 1. assumptions and unresolved choices |
| 31 | 1. handoff note to `dpdisp-submit` if execution is requested |
