SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Route ASE tasks to the correct subskill and manage handoffs between workflow logic and calculator adapters, enabling consistent orchestration across the ASE ecosystem.

Core Features & Use Cases

The top-level ASE router dispatches requests to either the workflow subskills (static, relax, md, neb) or the calculator adapters (gpaw, mace), preserving separation of concerns and ensuring backend-agnostic task preparation. It coordinates minimal context, exposes a clear delegation path, and returns a reproducible task layout for OpenClaw integration, including explicit next steps when execution is requested.

Quick Start

Route an ASE task to the router by specifying the desired workflow or backend, and let the router hand off to the appropriate subskill for task construction.

FAQPage Schema
How do I route ASE tasks to the correct workflow or calculator backend?

Route ASE tasks by specifying the desired workflow or backend, and the router dispatches requests to the appropriate subskill, returning the selected path and next delegation step.

What is backend-agnostic workflow orchestration in ASE?

Backend-agnostic orchestration separates workflow logic from calculator adapters, allowing ASE tasks to run across different backends like GPAW and MACE with consistent task preparation.

Can I use ASE workflows for static, relax, md, and neb calculations?

Yes, ASE routing supports nested static, relax, md, and neb workflows by handing off task construction to the appropriate workflow subskill automatically.

Does ASE routing work with GPAW and MACE calculator adapters?

Yes, the ASE router coordinates handoffs to both GPAW and MACE calculator adapters, preserving separation of concerns while ensuring reproducible task layout for execution.

How do I get a reproducible task layout for ASE workflow integration?

The ASE router returns a reproducible task layout with the selected subskill path, rationale for selection, missing minimum inputs, and explicit next delegation step for OpenClaw integration.

What should I do if my ASE routing task is missing minimum inputs?

When minimum inputs are missing, the ASE router identifies them in the output and provides the next explicit delegation step so you can supply required data before execution.
