Manipulate the environment or measure properties by applying an item from your inventory to a specific target.

  • Enables physical interaction like digging, cutting, or measuring environmental states.
  • Requires an item from the agent's inventory and a defined target object or location.
  • Executes the action by combining the tool and the target in a direct usage command.
  • Outputs the direct result or observation from the executed physical interaction.

name: scienceworld-tool-user
description: Uses a tool from inventory on a target object or location to perform a specific environmental interaction, such as digging, cutting, or measuring. Use this skill when a task requires modifying the environment or manipulating materials with a tool (e.g., using a shovel to dig soil, a thermometer to measure temperature, or an axe to cut wood). Takes the tool and target as inputs and outputs the result of the interaction.

# Skill: Tool User

## Purpose
Perform a physical action on the environment using a tool from your inventory. The core action is `use TOOL on TARGET`.

## When to Use
- A task requires modifying the environment (digging, cutting, heating).
- You need to measure a property of an object (temperature, conductivity).
- A tool-based interaction is the next step in your experiment workflow.

## Core Workflow
1. **Ensure Tool in Inventory:** The required tool (e.g., `shovel`, `thermometer`, `axe`) must be in your inventory. Use `pick up OBJ` if it is not.
2. **Identify Target:** Determine the exact target object or location name (e.g., `ground`, `tree`, `metal fork`).
3. **Execute:** `use TOOL on TARGET`.
4. **Interpret Result:** Read the observation output to determine the outcome (e.g., temperature reading, state change).

## Key Actions
| Action | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `pick up OBJ` | Acquire tool if not in inventory |
| `use OBJ on OBJ` | Perform tool interaction |
| `look around` | Confirm target identity and location |

## Example
**Task:** Measure the temperature of a metal fork using a thermometer.

1. `pick up thermometer` — ensure tool is in inventory
2. `use thermometer on metal fork`
3. Observation: "a thermometer, currently reading a temperature of 72 degrees celsius"

## Important Notes
* The tool must be in your inventory before use. The `pick up` action is a prerequisite.
* Use exact object names as they appear in the environment description.
* Some tools produce measurable outputs (thermometer readings); others produce state changes (shovel digs soil). Interpret accordingly.

SkillDescription
alfworld-appliance-navigatorNavigates the agent to a target appliance (microwave, stove, fridge, or sinkbasin) needed for object processing. Use when you are holding an object that needs heating, cooling, or cleaning and must move to the correct appliance station. Identifies the required appliance from the task context and executes the movement action.
alfworld-appliance-preparerPrepares a household appliance (microwave, oven, toaster, fridge) for use by ensuring it is in the correct open/closed state. Use when the agent needs to heat, cool, or cook an item and must first open or close the appliance before placing an object inside. Takes an appliance identifier as input and outputs a confirmation that the appliance is ready for the next action.
alfworld-clean-objectCleans a specified object using an appropriate cleaning receptacle (e.g., sinkbasin). Use when a task requires an object to be in a clean state (e.g., "clean potato", "wash apple") before proceeding. Navigates to the cleaning location, performs the clean action, and confirms the object is now clean.
alfworld-device-operatorOperates a device or appliance (like a desklamp, microwave, or fridge) to interact with another object. Use when the task requires using a tool on a target item (e.g., "look at laptop under the desklamp", "heat potato with microwave"). Locates both the device and target object, co-locates them, and executes the appropriate use action (toggle, heat, cool, or clean).
alfworld-environment-scannerPerforms an initial scan of the ALFWorld environment to identify all visible objects and receptacles. Use when you first enter an environment and need to build a mental map for task planning. Processes raw observation text into a structured list of entities, categorizing them as objects or receptacles.
alfworld-goal-interpreterParses the natural language task goal to extract actionable sub-objectives and required objects. Trigger this skill whenever a new task is assigned to break down complex instructions into clear, sequential targets. It interprets phrases like 'look at X under Y' to identify target objects (pillow), reference objects (desklamp), and spatial relationships (under).
alfworld-heat-object-with-applianceUses a heating appliance (microwave, stoveburner, oven) to apply heat to a specified object. Use when the task requires warming or cooking an item (e.g., "heat some egg", "warm the mug") and a heating appliance is available. Takes the object name and appliance name as input and outputs the object in a heated state, ready for placement at the task's target location.
alfworld-inventory-managementUse when the agent must collect and track multiple instances of the same object type in ALFWorld (e.g., "put two cellphone in bed"). This skill maintains a count of collected versus needed objects, guides systematic searching through receptacles, and ensures each found object is placed at the target before searching for the next.
alfworld-locate-target-objectNavigates to a suspected location and identifies a target object. Use when your goal requires finding a specific object (e.g., "potato", "plate") and its location is not immediately known. Moves to a relevant receptacle (like a fridge or cabinet), checks its contents, and outputs the object's location or confirms its absence.
alfworld-location-navigatorMoves the agent to a specified receptacle or object location within the Alfworld environment. Use this skill when the agent needs to physically approach a target to inspect or interact with it, such as when checking an object's state or preparing for pickup. The skill takes a target location name as input and executes the 'go to' action, resulting in the agent being positioned at the destination for subsequent operations.
