  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by Zhang-Henry on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Evo Wyckoff AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Zhang-Henry/CoEvoSkills/tree/main/artifacts/skills/crystallographic-wyckoff-position-analysis/evo-wyckoff
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Zhang-Henry/CoEvoSkills.git /tmp/CoEvoSkills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/CoEvoSkills/artifacts/skills/crystallographic-wyckoff-position-analysis/evo-wyckoff .claude/skills/evo-wyckoff
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Evo Wyckoff in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Evo Wyckoff on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Evo Wyckoff is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Wyckoff Position Analysis Skill

Analyzes crystal structure CIF files to determine Wyckoff position multiplicities and approximate fractional coordinates for the first atom of each Wyckoff position.

Dependencies

  • pymatgen (for CIF parsing and SpacegroupAnalyzer)
  • spglib (used internally by pymatgen for symmetry detection)
  • Python standard library: fractions

Key Functions

analyze_wyckoff_position_multiplicities_and_coordinates(filepath)

Main entry point. Parses a CIF file, determines Wyckoff positions, and returns multiplicities and coordinates as rational fraction strings (denominator ≤ 12).

float_to_frac_str(val, max_denom=12)

Converts a float to a rational string with bounded denominator.

coords_to_frac_strs(coords, max_denom=12)

Converts an array of 3 coordinates to fraction strings.

validate_result(result, filepath)

Validates output structure, key consistency, total atom count, and fraction format.

Algorithm

  1. Parse CIF file with pymatgen Structure.from_file()
  2. Run SpacegroupAnalyzer to detect symmetry and Wyckoff letters
  3. Group atoms by Wyckoff letter, summing counts for multiplicity
  4. For each unique letter, take the first atom's original fractional coordinates
  5. Convert coordinates to rational fractions with denominator ≤ 12

Usage Example

python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/app/environment/skills/evo-wyckoff/scripts')
from utils import analyze_wyckoff_position_multiplicities_and_coordinates, validate_result

# Analyze a CIF file
filepath = '/root/cif_files/FeS2_mp-226.cif'
result = analyze_wyckoff_position_multiplicities_and_coordinates(filepath)
print(result)

# Validate the result
validate_result(result, filepath)

Writing solution.py

The task requires writing the function at /root/workspace/solution.py:

python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/app/environment/skills/evo-wyckoff/scripts')
from utils import analyze_wyckoff_position_multiplicities_and_coordinates

# The function is directly importable and usable
# Example: result = analyze_wyckoff_position_multiplicities_and_coordinates('/root/cif_files/FeS2_mp-226.cif')

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Evo Wyckoff AI skill do?

Analyze CIF files for Wyckoff position multiplicities and approximate fractional coordinates. Use when a task requires parsing crystallographic CIF files, determining Wyckoff positions via symmetry analysis, and outputting multiplicity counts and rational coordinate strings.

Why use Evo Wyckoff on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Evo Wyckoff is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Evo Wyckoff in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Zhang-Henry/CoEvoSkills/tree/main/artifacts/skills/crystallographic-wyckoff-position-analysis/evo-wyckoff. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Evo Wyckoff?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Evo Wyckoff?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Evo Wyckoff with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Evo Wyckoff AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Zhang-Henry under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
