--- name: scienceworld-task-focuser description: Use when the agent needs to direct attention to a specific object in the environment or inventory before performing a critical action such as measuring, using, or connecting. This preparatory "focus on" step signals intent to the ScienceWorld system, often unlocking required state changes for subsequent interactive steps in experimental procedures. --- # Skill: scienceworld-task-focuser ## Purpose Formally declare intent to interact with a specific object in the ScienceWorld environment. The `focus on` action is a required preparatory step that signals to the system which object subsequent actions (`use`, `measure`, `connect`) will target, often unlocking necessary state changes or measurement capabilities. ## When to Use - Before using a measurement tool (e.g., thermometer) on a target object - Before complex operations such as connecting, mixing, or combining objects - When a task description explicitly instructs "focus on" an object - To confirm the correct item is in inventory before proceeding with an action ## Workflow 1. **Identify the target object** -- Determine the exact name as it appears in the environment (e.g., `thermometer`, `metal fork`). 2. **Locate the object** -- Use `look around` or `inventory` to confirm the object's location (environment or inventory). 3. **Execute the focus action** -- Issue the appropriate command: - Object in the environment: `focus on <OBJECT_NAME>` - Object in inventory: `focus on <OBJECT_NAME> in inventory` 4. **Verify confirmation** -- Wait for the system response: `"You focus on the <OBJECT_NAME>."` before proceeding to the next step. ## Examples ### Example 1: Preparing to measure temperature of a metal fork ``` > focus on thermometer in inventory You focus on the thermometer. > focus on metal fork in inventory You focus on the metal fork. > use thermometer on metal fork The thermometer measures a temperature of 23 degrees celsius. ``` ### Example 2: Focusing on an environmental object before moving it ``` > look around You see: a table, a blue box, a red box, a metal fork (on table). > focus on metal fork You focus on the metal fork. > move metal fork to blue box You move the metal fork to the blue box. ``` ## Important Notes - This skill does **not** perform the main action (e.g., measuring). It only prepares for it. - The `focus` action has no physical effect on the object; it is a declarative meta-action. - Always wait for the confirmation observation before attempting the next step. - If the object is not found, use `look around`, `examine`, or `teleport to` to locate it before attempting to focus.

- 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.
