What file formats does the Pymatgen skill support?

It supports over 100 scientific file formats, including CIF, POSCAR, XYZ, and specific outputs from computational codes like VASP, Gaussian, and Quantum ESPRESSO.

Can I access the Materials Project database with this skill?

Yes, it provides full integration with the Materials Project API (MPRester), allowing you to search for materials and retrieve structures or thermodynamic data programmatically.

Does it handle symmetry analysis for crystals?

Yes, the skill utilizes the SpacegroupAnalyzer to identify space groups, crystal systems, and transform structures between primitive and conventional cells.

How does this skill assist with VASP calculations?

It can automatically generate standard VASP input sets (INCAR, KPOINTS, POTCAR) for relaxations, static runs, and band structure calculations based on best-practice parameters.
