计算材料科学与化学涵盖广泛知识领域且软件生态碎片化。尽管大语言模型已展现研究潜力,但将通用智能体规模化以应对原子级研究的严谨性与复杂性仍具挑战。本文提出AtomisticSkills——一个开源赋能框架,使通用AI编程代理可在材料科学、化学及药物发现领域开展原子级研究。通过层级化分解科学工作流为代理技能与工具,该框架提供模块化、可扩展、即插即用的研究能力。整合超过100个由人工标注的跨学科技能,包括数据库访问、热力学与动力学建模,以及采用机器学习势(MLIPs)和密度泛函理论(DFT)的多种模拟引擎。通过文献对比验证其功能覆盖度,并在多类科学任务中展示强大编排能力:锂离子固态电解质生成设计、金属有机框架高通量筛选用于二氧化碳捕集、自主MLIP基准测试与微调、基于结构的多阶段虚拟药物筛选、多模态X射线衍射图谱分析,以及氧析出反应铁氧化物催化剂筛选。AtomisticSkills为构建完全自主的AI科学家提供了关键代理基础设施。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Computational materials science and chemistry span vast knowledge domains and fractured software ecosystems. Although large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated research capabilities, scaling monolithic agents to manage the rigor and complexity of atomistic research remains a challenge. Here, we introduce AtomisticSkills, an open-source harness framework that empowers general-purpose AI coding agents to conduct atomistic research across materials science, chemistry, and drug discovery. By hierarchically decomposing scientific workflows into agent skills and tools, AtomisticSkills provides agents with modular, extensible, and plug-and-play research capabilities. The framework integrates more than 100 human-curated multidisciplinary skills, including database access, thermodynamics and kinetics modeling, and diverse simulation engines employing machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) and density functional theory (DFT). We validate its functional coverage against scientific literature and demonstrate robust orchestration capabilities across diverse scientific campaigns: generative design of Li-ion solid-state electrolytes, high-throughput screening of metal-organic frameworks for CO2 capture, autonomous MLIP benchmarking and fine-tuning, multi-stage structure-based virtual screening for drug design, multimodal X-ray diffraction pattern analysis, and screening of Fe-oxide catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction. AtomisticSkills provides a critical agent infrastructure towards building fully autonomous AI scientists.
