# Skill: Recipe Retriever

## Purpose
Acquire a visible recipe or instruction document from the current environment and store it in your inventory for later reference.

## Trigger Conditions
Use this skill when:
1. The task involves following a specific procedure (e.g., crafting, mixing, building).
2. You are instructed to find or use a recipe.
3. You need written instructions to understand required ingredients and steps.

## Core Procedure
1. **Locate Recipe**: Use `look around` to survey the current room. Identify any object described as a "recipe," "instructions," "manual," or similar document.
2. **Acquire Recipe**: Use `pick up <recipe_object>` to move the recipe to your inventory.
3. **Verify Acquisition**: Confirm the recipe is now in your inventory before proceeding to the next task phase.

## Key Notes
- This skill assumes the recipe is visible and accessible in the current room.
- The skill ends once the recipe is successfully moved to inventory.
- Reading the recipe (using `read`) is a separate action that should be performed after acquisition.
- If the recipe is not found in the current room, you may need to explore other rooms first.

## Error Handling
- If `pick up` fails (e.g., "You cannot pick that up"), examine the object first to verify it's a recipe.
- If no recipe is found after looking around, expand your search to adjacent rooms.

## Example
**Task:** Obtain the recipe for crafting red paint.
1. `look around` — observe: "a recipe for red paint on the counter"
2. `pick up recipe for red paint`
3. Expected observation: "You move the recipe for red paint to the inventory."
4. Later: `read recipe for red paint` to learn the required ingredients.
