name: scienceworld-growth-focuser
description: Use when you have planted a seed or need to track a plant's growth stage (sprouting, flowering, reproduction). Applies the 'focus on' action to a specific plant or biological entity to signal intent and monitor its development. Trigger after planting or when you need to observe life cycle progression in the ScienceWorld environment.

# Skill: Growth Focuser
## Purpose
Apply the `focus on` action to a specific biological entity (e.g., a planted seed or growing plant) to signal your intent to monitor its development. This action is often a prerequisite for the environment to process growth stages or trigger life cycle progression events.
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
1. **After Planting:** You have just placed a seed or seedling into a suitable growth medium (e.g., soil with water).
2. **Stage Monitoring:** You need to check or trigger a progression in the plant's life cycle (e.g., from seed to sprout, sprout to mature plant, flowering, or reproduction).
3. **Intent Signaling:** The task requires you to explicitly indicate which entity you are observing or nurturing.
## Core Instruction
1. **Identify the Target:** Locate the specific plant or seed you intend to focus on. Ensure it is in a valid state for growth (e.g., planted in soil with water).
2. **Execute Focus:** Use the action: `focus on <PLANT_OBJECT> [in <CONTAINER>]`.
* Replace `<PLANT_OBJECT>` with the exact name of the biological entity (e.g., `avocado seed`).
* Use the optional `[in <CONTAINER>]` clause if the object is inside another object (e.g., `avocado seed in flower pot 1`). This is crucial for disambiguation.
3. **Confirm & Wait:** Upon successful focus, you will receive a confirmation. Biological growth requires time. Use `wait` actions strategically after focusing to allow the simulated environment to process development stages.
## Key Considerations
* **Disambiguation:** If multiple identical objects exist, the environment may prompt you to choose. Always specify the container (e.g., `in flower pot 1`) to avoid this.
* **Prerequisites:** The `focus on` action typically follows preparatory steps like `teleport to <location>`, `pick up <item>`, and `move <seed> to <pot>`.
* **Patience is Required:** Growth is not instantaneous. The `focus on` action signals intent, but you must follow it with `wait` actions to observe results.
## Example
**Scenario:** You need to grow an avocado plant from seed to maturity.
1. You have already moved `avocado seed` into `flower pot 1` which contains soil and water.
2. Run `focus on avocado seed in flower pot 1` — output: "You focus on the avocado seed."
3. Run `wait` — the environment processes one time step.
4. Run `focus on avocado seed in flower pot 1` again — output may now show: "avocado sprout" indicating growth progression.
5. Continue alternating `focus on` and `wait` until the plant reaches the desired life stage (sprout, mature plant, flowering, reproduction).
**Note:** Always include the `in <CONTAINER>` clause when multiple pots or seeds exist to avoid disambiguation prompts.
## Quick Reference
**Trigger Condition:** Seed/Plant is in a growth-ready state.
**Primary Action:** `focus on <PLANT_OBJECT> [in <CONTAINER>]`
**Next Steps:** Use `wait` to allow time for growth progression.

- 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.
