# FAIRChem Skill This skill provides expert guidance for using FAIRChem (formerly OCP - Open Catalyst Project), Meta's FAIR Chemistry library of machine learning methods for materials science and quantum chemistry. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: - Using ML potentials for materials and molecular simulations - Running fast geometry optimizations with pretrained models - Performing large-scale MD simulations - Calculating energies and forces without DFT - Working with the UMA (Universal Materials Algebra) models - Needing predictions for catalysis, molecules, crystals, or MOFs - Integrating ML models with ASE workflows - Scaling calculations across multiple GPUs ## What is FAIRChem? FAIRChem is Meta's machine learning framework for chemistry that provides: - **Pretrained UMA models** (`uma-s-1p1`, `uma-m-1p1`) for universal predictions - **Domain-specific tasks**: catalysis (oc20), materials (omat), molecules (omol), MOFs (odac), crystals (omc) - **ASE integration** via `FAIRChemCalculator` - **Multi-GPU support** for distributed inference - **Fast predictions**: 100-1000× faster than DFT ### Key Advantage FAIRChem allows you to use the same model across different chem

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill fairchem --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
