# XPS Surface Analyzer ## Purpose The XPS Surface Analyzer skill provides comprehensive X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy data analysis for nanomaterial surface characterization, enabling quantitative determination of surface composition, chemical states, and depth-dependent composition profiles. ## Capabilities - Survey and high-resolution spectra acquisition - Peak fitting and deconvolution - Chemical state identification - Quantitative surface composition - Depth profiling analysis - Charge correction and calibration ## Usage Guidelines ### XPS Analysis Workflow 1. **Survey Spectra** - Identify all elements present - Check for unexpected contamination - Plan high-resolution scans 2. **Peak Fitting** - Apply appropriate background (Shirley, Tougaard) - Constrain FWHM within physical limits - Assign chemical states from binding energy 3. **Quantification** - Apply relative sensitivity factors - Account for matrix effects - Report with appropriate uncertainty ## Process Integration - Multi-Modal Nanomaterial Characterization Pipeline - Nanomaterial Surface Functionalization Pipeline - Structure-Property Correlation Analysis ## Input Schema ```json { "sample_id": "string", "elements_

What does the xps-surface-analyzer skill do?
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy analysis skill for surface composition, chemical state, and depth profiling
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill xps-surface-analyzer --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.
