--- name: scienceworld-measurement-taker description: Use when the agent needs to measure a quantitative property (temperature, weight, pH) of a target object or substance using a measurement tool. This skill covers acquiring the tool, preparing both tool and target with focus actions, executing the measurement via "use [TOOL] on [TARGET]", and interpreting the resulting value for conditional decisions such as classification or placement. --- # Skill: scienceworld-measurement-taker ## Purpose Measure a quantitative property of a target object or substance in the ScienceWorld environment using the appropriate measurement tool, then interpret the result for subsequent decision-making. ## When to Use - When a task requires obtaining a numerical reading (temperature, weight, pH) from an object or substance - When a measured value determines a conditional next action (e.g., classify based on temperature threshold) - When the agent needs to compare properties across multiple objects ## Workflow 1. **Identify and acquire the tool** -- Locate the correct measurement instrument (e.g., thermometer, scale) and `pick up` the tool. 2. **Focus on the tool** -- Execute `focus on [TOOL] in inventory` to confirm readiness. 3. **Identify and acquire the target** -- Locate the target object or substance and `pick up` the target. 4. **Focus on the target** -- Execute `focus on [TARGET] in inventory` to confirm readiness. 5. **Position for follow-up** -- If the task requires a follow-up action (e.g., placing in a bin), `teleport to` the appropriate location before measuring. 6. **Execute measurement** -- Use the tool on the target: `use [TOOL] on [TARGET]`. 7. **Interpret and act** -- Read the numerical result and execute the appropriate conditional action. ## Examples ### Example 1: Measure temperature and classify ``` > teleport to kitchen You teleport to the kitchen. > pick up thermometer You pick up the thermometer. > focus on thermometer in inventory You focus on the thermometer. > pick up unknown substance B You pick up the unknown substance B. > focus on unknown substance B in inventory You focus on the unknown substance B. > teleport to hallway You teleport to the hallway. > use thermometer on unknown substance B The thermometer measures a temperature of 56 degrees celsius. > move unknown substance B to orange box You move the unknown substance B to the orange box. ``` ### Example 2: Measure and compare two objects ``` > use thermometer on metal fork The thermometer measures a temperature of 23 degrees celsius. > use thermometer on glass cup The thermometer measures a temperature of 87 degrees celsius. ``` The glass cup (87) is hotter than the metal fork (23). ## Key Principles - **Tool first** -- Secure the measurement tool before handling the target. - **Focus before use** -- Always `focus on` both tool and target in inventory before measuring. - **Plan ahead** -- Identify where follow-up actions occur and position accordingly before measuring. - **Map thresholds** -- Clarify decision thresholds (e.g., "above 100.0" vs. "below 100.0") before executing the measurement.

- 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.
