I know there is a command to take all maximal chains and all cover relations of a poset. I am working with a ranked poset and I am wondering if there is a command for all saturated chains in a poset. I appreciate any help given.

This is not my field so I can ask a silly question: Is every saturated chain a subchain of a maximal chain?

Yes. Every saturated chain is a maximal chain of a subposet.

My naive idea was to take all subchains of all maximal chains. This works, but it is inefficient because you get duplicates.

Like that

sage: p = posets.DiamondPoset(6)
sage: h = p.hasse_diagram()
sage: [h.all_paths(x,y) for x in h for y in p.principal_order_filter(x)]
[[[0]],
 [[0, 1]],
 [[0, 2]],
 [[0, 3]],
 [[0, 4]],
 [[0, 1, 5], [0, 2, 5], [0, 3, 5], [0, 4, 5]],
 [[1]],
 [[1, 5]],
 [[2]],
 [[2, 5]],

 [[3, 5]],
 [[4]],
 [[4, 5]],
 [[5]]]

I would wrap the last command in sum(..., []) to get a single list of chains.
