--- name: alfworld-locate-target-object description: This skill navigates to a suspected location and identifies a target object. It should be triggered when the agent's goal requires finding a specific object (e.g., 'potato', 'plate') and its location is not immediately known. The skill involves moving to a relevant receptacle (like a fridge or cabinet) and checking its contents, outputting the object's location or confirming its absence. --- # Skill: Locate Target Object ## Purpose Use this skill when your goal requires a specific object and you need to find it. The skill directs you to a likely receptacle, inspects it, and confirms if the target is present. ## Core Workflow 1. **Identify Target & Suspected Location:** Determine the object you need and the most logical place to find it (e.g., food in the `fridge`, utensils in a `drawer`). 2. **Navigate:** Go to the suspected receptacle. 3. **Inspect:** If the receptacle is closed, open it. 4. **Locate:** Visually scan the contents for the target object. 5. **Report:** Output the object's location if found, or note its absence. ## Instructions Follow this sequence of actions and reasoning. **Thought:** I need to find a `<target_object>`. The most likely place for it is the `<suspected_receptacle>`. **Action:** `go to <suspected_receptacle>` **Observation:** *[You arrive at the receptacle. It may be open or closed.]* **Thought:** I am at the `<suspected_receptacle>`. To see inside, I must open it. **Action:** `open <suspected_receptacle>` **Observation:** *[The receptacle opens, revealing its contents.]* **Thought:** The `<suspected_receptacle>` is open. I will now look for the `<target_object>` among its contents. * **If the object is visible:** I have located the `<target_object>` in the `<suspected_receptacle>`. My location task is complete. * **If the object is not visible:** The `<target_object>` is not in the `<suspected_receptacle>`. I must consider the next most likely location. ## Key Principles * **Contextual Guessing:** Use common sense to guess the initial search location (e.g., `fridge` for perishables, `cabinet` for dry goods). * **Sequential Access:** You must `go to` a location before you can `open` it. * **Visual Confirmation:** Only trust the `Observation` after opening a receptacle to confirm an object's presence or absence. ## Next Steps After successfully locating the object, you will typically need to `take` it or interact with it, which is outside the scope of this skill. If the object is not found, trigger this skill again with a new suspected location.
