Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Crystallography Analysis Skill ## Purpose The Crystallography Analysis skill provides advanced capabilities for determining and analyzing crystal structures from diffraction data, enabling detailed structural characterization of crystalline materials including phase identification, symmetry analysis, and local structure determination through pair distribution function methods. ## Capabilities - Space group determination and symmetry analysis - Atomic position refinement - Disorder and defect modeling - Structure factor calculation - Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis - Neutron diffraction data analysis - Single-crystal structure solution - Reciprocal space mapping interpretation ## Usage Guidelines ### Space Group Determination 1. **Systematic Absence Analysis** - Identify extinct reflections from diffraction pattern - Determine Bravais lattice type - Assign possible space groups from extinction conditions 2. **Symmetry Verification** - Check intensity statistics for centrosymmetry - Verify Laue class assignment - Consider twinning if symmetry ambiguous 3. **Structure Validation** - Use checkCIF for validation - Verify bond distances and angles - Check displacement paramet

What does the crystallography-analysis skill do?
Advanced skill for crystallographic structure analysis and determination including space group identification, atomic position refinement, and PDF analysis
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill crystallography-analysis --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
