+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Overview
+
+QUIP (QUantum mechanics and Interatomic Potentials) is a collection of Fortran software tools for molecular dynamics simulations. It implements various interatomic potentials, tight binding quantum mechanics, and can interface with external packages like LAMMPS, CP2K, and ASE. The codebase includes:
+
+- **Core library (libAtoms)**: Fundamental atomistic data structures and algorithms
+- **Interatomic Potentials**: Various potential models (EAM, Tersoff, Stillinger-Weber, Lennard-Jones, etc.)
+- **GAP (Gaussian Approximation Potentials)**: Machine learning interatomic potentials (separate license - Academic Software License)
+- **Python interface (quippy)**: Python bindings via f90wrap for integration with ASE
+- **Tight-binding modules**: DFTB, NRL-TB, and other TB implementations
+- **Analysis programs**: 50+ Fortran utilities in `src/Programs/`
+
+## Build System
+
+QUIP uses the [Meson build system](https://mesonbuild.com/) (version 1.1+) with the Ninja build tool.
+
+### Initial Setup
+
+1. Ensure you have the required tools:
+```bash
+pip install meson ninja
+```
+
+2. Update submodules to meson-compatible versions:
+```bash
+cd src/fox && git checkout master && git pull
+cd ../GAP && git checkout main && git pull
+cd ../..
+```
+
+3. Configure the build:
+```bash
+meson setup builddir
+```
+
+This creates a `builddir` directory where all build artifacts will be placed. Meson automatically detects your compiler, BLAS/LAPACK libraries, and system configuration.
+
+### Build Options
+
+You can customize the build using `-D` flags during setup:
+```bash
+meson setup builddir -Dgap=true -Dmpi=false
+```
+
+Available options (defined in `meson.options`):
+- `gap` (default: `true`): Enable GAP (Gaussian Approximation Potentials) support
+- `mpi` (default: `false`): Enable MPI parallelization (requires ScaLAPACK)
+
+To reconfigure an existing build:
+```bash
+meson configure builddir -Dmpi=true
+```
+
+### Building
+
+```bash
+# Build everything (libraries, programs)
+meson compile -C builddir
+
+# Or use ninja directly
+ninja -C builddir
+```
+
+Build artifacts are organized in `builddir/`:
+- Executables: `builddir/src/Programs/quip`, `builddir/src/Programs/gap_fit`, etc.
+- Shared libraries: `builddir/src/libAtoms/liblibAtoms.so`, `builddir/src/Potentials/libPotentials.so`, etc.
+
+Programs can be run directly:
+```bash
+./builddir/src/Programs/quip --help
+./builddir/src/Programs/gap_fit --help
+```
+
+### Python Interface (quippy)
+
+After building the main QUIP libraries:
+
+```bash

+
+## Architecture
+
+### Module Structure
+
+The codebase is organized into modular layers:
+
+1. **libAtoms** (`src/libAtoms/`): Core library
+   - `Atoms.F90`: Main atomic structure data type
+   - `Atoms_types.F90`: Type definitions and structure
+   - `Connection.F90`: Neighbor lists and connectivity
+   - `Dictionary.F90`: Key-value parameter handling
+   - `DynamicalSystem.F90`: MD integrators and thermostats
+   - `CInOutput.F90`: Extended XYZ I/O format
+   - `Table.F90`, `Matrix.F90`: Data structures
+   - `MPI_context.F90`: MPI parallelization support
+
+2. **Potentials** (`src/Potentials/`): Interatomic potential implementations
+   - `IP.F90`: Base interatomic potential interface
+   - `IPModel_*.F90`: Individual potential models (LJ, SW, Tersoff, EAM, etc.)
+   - `FilePot.F90`: External potential interface
+   - `AdjustablePotential.F90`: Parameter optimization support
+
+3. **GAP** (`src/GAP/`): Gaussian Approximation Potentials (submodule)
+   - Separate license (Academic Software License)
+   - Machine learning potential framework
+   - SOAP descriptors and sparse GP regression
+   - Documentation at https://libatoms.github.io/GAP
+
+4. **Programs** (`src/Programs/`): Standalone executables (50+ programs)
+   - `quip.F90`: Main program for energy/force calculations
+   - `md.F90`: Molecular dynamics
+   - `gap_fit.F90`: GAP training (if HAVE_GAP=1)
+   - Various analysis and structure manipulation tools
+
+5. **Utils** (`src/Utils/`): Utility modules and functions
+
+6. **FoX** (`src/fox/`): XML parsing library (submodule)
+
+7. **f90wrap** (`src/f90wrap/`): Python wrapping tool (submodule)
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+**Extended XYZ Format**: QUIP's primary I/O format. Structure:
+```
+<number_of_atoms>
+Lattice="..." Properties=species:S:1:pos:R:3:... [other key=value pairs]
+<atom_data>
+```
+Properties field specifies column format as `name:type:columns` where type is I (integer), R (real), or S (string).
+
+**Potential Initialization**: Potentials are initialized via string arguments:
+```fortran
+call initialise(pot, 'IP LJ', param_filename='ip.parms.LJ.xml')
+```
+Use `init_args='--help'` to see available potential types. Recursive help: `init_args='IP --help'` lists interatomic potential types.
+
+**Build Configuration**: Meson automatically configures:
+- Compiler detection and flags (gfortran, ifort, etc.)
+- Math libraries (OpenBLAS, MKL, reference BLAS/LAPACK via pkg-config)
+- Feature flags via build options (`-Dgap=true`, `-Dmpi=false`)
+- Python detection for quippy
+
+Configuration can be inspected or modified:
+```bash
+meson configure builddir
+meson configure builddir -Dmpi=true
+```
+
+### Parallelization
+
+- **OpenMP**: Thread-level parallelization (automatically detected if compiler supports it)
+- **MPI**: Domain decomposition for large systems (enable with `-Dmpi=true`)
+- **ScaLAPACK**: Required for MPI-parallel `gap_fit` (automatically linked when MPI is enabled)
+
+## Common Development Patterns
+
+### Adding a New Potential
+
+1. Create `src/Potentials/IPModel_NewPot.F90` following existing model patterns
+2. Add the new file to the `Potentials_F90_sources` list in `src/Potentials/meson.build`
+3. Register in `src/Potentials/IP.F90` in the initialise and calc routines
+4. Add parameter XML schema if needed
+5. Rebuild with `meson compile -C builddir`
+
+### Working with the Python Interface
+
+After building quippy:
+```python
+from quippy.potential import Potential
+from ase.io import read
+
+atoms = read('structure.xyz')
+pot = Potential('IP LJ', param_filename='ip.parms.LJ.xml')
+energy = pot.calc(atoms, energy=True)
+```
+
+The quippy interface wraps Fortran types/routines, providing ASE calculator interface.
+
+### Modifying Core libAtoms
+
+Changes to `src/libAtoms/` affect all downstream modules. After modifications:
+```bash
+meson compile -C builddir  # Meson automatically handles dependencies
+```
+
+Meson's dependency tracking is generally more reliable than Make, so full rebuilds are rarely needed.
+
+### Working with GAP
+
+GAP is a git submodule with separate license terms. To update:
+```bash
+cd src/GAP
+git checkout main  # or specific commit/branch
+git pull
+cd ../..
+git add src/GAP
+git commit -m "Update GAP version"
+```
+
+Enable GAP in build: Use `-Dgap=true` (enabled by default). For MPI-parallel gap_fit, also enable MPI: `-Dmpi=true` (requires ScaLAPACK).
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **Do not assume minimum image convention**: Potentials can have cutoffs larger than the unit cell
+- **Fortran preprocessing**: `.F90` files are preprocessed (can use `#ifdef`), `.f90` are not
+- **Feature flags**: Many features are optional (TB, GAP, MPI, etc.) - controlled via meson options
+- **Virtual environments**: Activate virtualenv before building quippy to install there
+- **GAP license**: GAP has a non-commercial academic license, distinct from QUIP's GPL
+- **f90wrap**: Install with `pip install 'f90wrap>=0.3.0'` before building quippy
+- **Submodule versions**: Ensure fox is on `master` and GAP is on `main` for meson support
+
+## External Interfaces
+
+QUIP can be used as:
+- **Standalone**: Direct execution of compiled programs from `builddir/src/Programs/`
+- **Library**: Link against shared libraries in `builddir/src/*/lib*.so` (e.g., for LAMMPS pair_style quip)
+- **Python**: Via quippy with ASE integration
+- **Plugins**: CP2K, LAMMPS, ASE can call QUIP potentials
+
+LAMMPS integration: Build QUIP libraries with meson, then follow LAMMPS pair_quip documentation (requires LAMMPS 11 Aug 2017+).

-    Quippy can be used by adding the `lib` directory in
-    `quippy/build/${QUIP_ARCH}` to your `$PYTHONPATH`, however it can be
-    more convenient to install into a specific Python distribution::
+
+    This will:
+    - Preprocess the Fortran source files
+    - Generate Python wrappers using f90wrap
+    - Compile the Python extension module
+    - Prepare the quippy package for installation
+
+    Then install with pip:
     ```bash
-    make install-quippy
+    pip install .
     ```
-    will either install into the current virtualenv or attempt to install

-    or use `QUIPPY_INSTALL_OPTS=--prefix=<directory>` to install into a
-    specific directory. `QUIPPY_INSTALL_OPTS` can also be set in the file
-    `build/${QUIP_ARCH}/Makefile.inc`.

+If you have previously built QUIP using the old Makefile-based system, note the following differences:
+
+**Key Changes:**
+- **No `QUIP_ARCH` environment variable**: Meson automatically detects your system configuration
+- **Build directory**: All build artifacts go to `builddir/` (or whatever name you choose) instead of `build/${QUIP_ARCH}/`
+- **Configuration**: Use `meson configure` with `-D` options instead of editing `Makefile.inc`
+- **Submodules**: Ensure submodules are updated to versions with meson support (fox: master, GAP: main)
+- **Programs location**: Executables are in `builddir/src/Programs/` instead of `build/${QUIP_ARCH}/`
+- **Libraries**: Shared libraries (`.so`) are built by default instead of static libraries (`.a`)
+
+**Workflow Comparison:**
+
+| Task | Old (Make) | New (Meson) |
+|------|-----------|-------------|
+| Setup | `export QUIP_ARCH=...` + `make config` | `meson setup builddir` |
+| Configure | Edit `build/${QUIP_ARCH}/Makefile.inc` | `meson configure builddir -Doption=value` |
+| Build | `make` | `meson compile -C builddir` |
+| Install | `make install` | `meson install -C builddir` |
+| Clean | `make clean` | `rm -rf builddir` |
+| Test | `make test` | `meson test -C builddir` |
+
+**To clean your old Make builds:**
+```bash
+# If you still have the old Makefile setup
+make distclean
+
+# Remove old build directories
+rm -rf build/
+```

+!X
+!X Error handling, see error.f95 for the functions called in these macros.
+!X
+!X Error passing works as follows:
+!X - *error* needs to be intent(out) and optional
+!X - all functions that receive *error* as an argument must call INIT_ERROR(error)
+!X - RAISE_ERROR is used whenever an error occurs. If *error* is not present,
+!X   the program execution will be terminated immediately. If *error* is
+!X   present it will be set to some value not equal ERROR_NONE and the execution
+!X   of the subroutine will be stopped.
+!X - PASS_ERROR is used after a function or subroutine that returns error, i.e.
+!X     call sub(..., error=error)
+!X     PASS_ERROR(error)
+!X   If no error occurs (i.e. error==ERROR_NONE), execution will proceed as
+!X   usual. If an error occured, the current function will be terminated after
+!X   the location of the error is passed to the error module.
+!X   If the calling routine handles the error itself, rather than passing
+!X   it up with PASS_ERROR(), CLEAR_ERROR() should be used to clear the error
+!X   info stack
+!X - PASS_ERROR_WITH_INFO is like PASS_ERROR, just an additional string can be
+!X   provided describing the error, or parameters.
+!X - HANDLE_ERROR will print the error history and stop execution of the program
+!X   after an error occured.
+!X

+!X
+!X Error handling, see error.f95 for the functions called in these macros.
+!X
+!X Error passing works as follows:
+!X - *error* needs to be intent(out) and optional
+!X - all functions that receive *error* as an argument must call INIT_ERROR(error)
+!X - RAISE_ERROR is used whenever an error occurs. If *error* is not present,
+!X   the program execution will be terminated immediately. If *error* is
+!X   present it will be set to some value not equal ERROR_NONE and the execution
+!X   of the subroutine will be stopped.
+!X - PASS_ERROR is used after a function or subroutine that returns error, i.e.
+!X     call sub(..., error=error)
+!X     PASS_ERROR(error)
+!X   If no error occurs (i.e. error==ERROR_NONE), execution will proceed as
+!X   usual. If an error occured, the current function will be terminated after
+!X   the location of the error is passed to the error module.
+!X   If the calling routine handles the error itself, rather than passing
+!X   it up with PASS_ERROR(), CLEAR_ERROR() should be used to clear the error
+!X   info stack
+!X - PASS_ERROR_WITH_INFO is like PASS_ERROR, just an additional string can be
+!X   provided describing the error, or parameters.
+!X - HANDLE_ERROR will print the error history and stop execution of the program
+!X   after an error occured.
+!X
