Atom-conservation gate for molecular formulae and chemical equations. Parses Hill notation, balances both sides and cross-checks with rdkit; runs inside the process sandbox and degrades to `UNVERIFIED` when rdkit is absent.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific

Run this exact form — do not read the source tree:
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
quantitative-validator
Verifies that every element is conserved across a formula or a reaction. It does not predict products, energies or mechanisms.
- Stage:
gates· Sandbox: yes · Dependencies:rdkit
Quick Execution
Run this exact form — do not read the source tree:
python scripts/run.py --root <WS> --action gate --formula "H2 + O2 -> H2O"--input <file>reads the equation from a file instead of--formula.- The gate lands in
<WS>/process/gates/quantitative-validator_<ts>.json.
When to use
- A chemical equation must be checked for balance.
- A molecular formula must be validated before a calculation.
When NOT to use
- Reaction feasibility, yield or mechanism — out of scope.
- Organic nomenclature parsing beyond Hill notation.
Actions
--action | Does | Extra arguments |
gate | Balance / conservation check | --formula "..." | --input <file> |
Hard constraints
- Never balance the equation by hand. The verdict comes from the tool.
- An unbalanced equation is a FAIL, not a hint.
Outputs
<WS>/process/gates/quantitative-validator_<ts>.json— the gate result with the per-element diff.
Failure handling
- An unparseable formula fails the gate with the offending token.
rdkitmissing →UNVERIFIED(the sandbox reports it, the pipeline continues).
Limitations
- Hill notation only for formulae.
- Charges and isotopes are checked only where rdkit can represent them.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
