What it does

Alfworld Appliance Navigator is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. Navigates 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Create, Evaluate, and Connect AI Skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You are holding an object that needs heating
  • Cleaning and must move to the correct appliance station

Example prompts

  • “Use the alfworld-appliance-navigator skill to navigate the agent to a target appliance (microwave, stove, fridge, or sinkbasin) needed for object…”
  • “/alfworld-appliance-navigator”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the Target Appliance: Determine which appliance is required for the task. Map the action to the appliance: heat ->…
  2. Locate the Appliance: Scan the environment observation for the target appliance (e.g., microwave 1, fridge 1, sinkbasin 1).
  3. Navigate: Execute go to {appliance} to move to the identified appliance location.
  4. Prepare Appliance (if needed): Upon arrival, check if the appliance requires preparation (e.g., opening a closed microwave or fridge…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c527136. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • go

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Alfworld Appliance Navigator loads about 514 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~514

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Navigates 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.

Instructions

Use this skill when you are holding an object that needs to be processed (heated, cooled, or cleaned) and you must locate and move to the correct appliance to perform the action.

Workflow

  1. Identify the Target Appliance: Determine which appliance is required for the task. Map the action to the appliance: heat -> microwave/stoveburner, cool -> fridge, clean -> sinkbasin.
  2. Locate the Appliance: Scan the environment observation for the target appliance (e.g., microwave 1, fridge 1, sinkbasin 1).
  3. Navigate: Execute go to {appliance} to move to the identified appliance location.
  4. Prepare Appliance (if needed): Upon arrival, check if the appliance requires preparation (e.g., opening a closed microwave or fridge door). If so, perform open {appliance} before proceeding.

Example

Scenario: You are holding potato 1 and need to heat it.

Thought: I need to heat this potato. The microwave is the appropriate appliance.
Action: go to microwave 1
Observation: The microwave 1 is closed.
Thought: I need to open the microwave before I can use it.
Action: open microwave 1
Observation: You open the microwave 1. The microwave 1 is open. In it, you see nothing.

Result: You are now at the open microwave, ready to heat the potato.

Key Principles

  • Trigger: The agent is holding an object and the next step in the task is to heat, cool, or clean it.
  • Core Action: The primary output of this skill is the navigation command go to {target_appliance}.
  • Prerequisite Check: Always ensure the appliance is accessible (e.g., open) before attempting to use it for processing.
