Abstract
vibe-sketch connects chemical structure drawing, publication graphics and calculation preparation in an editable document. The browser and desktop interfaces combine a structure library with species identities, reactionroles,conformersandsavedcalculationrecipes;thesameoperationsareaccessiblethrough Python, command-line, REST and Model Context Protocol interfaces. We describe release 0.6.0 and the expanded template library in0.6.1,and demonstratetheworkflow for butadiene plus ethene forming cyclohexene.Twelvevibe-qc0.17.26calculationsconnectMACEoptimization,dispersion-freePBE optimization and Hessian evaluation, and restricted-reference correlated single points.
