What it does

Alfworld Heat Object With Appliance is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. Uses 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/common_heating_appliances.md`).

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

  • The task requires warming
  • Cooking an item (e.g.
  • Warm the mug) and a heating appliance is available

Example prompts

  • “heat some egg”
  • “warm the mug”
  • “Use the alfworld-heat-object-with-appliance skill to use a heating appliance (microwave, stoveburner, oven) to apply heat to a specified object”
  • “/alfworld-heat-object-with-appliance”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Navigate & Locate: Go to the location of the target object.
  2. Acquire Object: Take the object from its current receptacle.
  3. Navigate to Appliance: Go to the specified heating appliance.
  4. Prepare Appliance
  5. Execute Heating: Use the heat {object} with {appliance} action.
  6. Complete Task: Navigate to the final target location (e.g., a dining table) and put the heated object there.

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 Heat Object With Appliance loads about 744 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 379 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~744
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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
Uses 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.

Skill: Heat Object with Appliance

Purpose

Heat a specified object using a designated kitchen appliance to change its state (e.g., from cold to hot, raw to cooked) as required by a task.

Core Workflow

Follow this sequence of actions. Use the bundled validate_and_plan.py script to check for common preconditions before starting.

  1. Navigate & Locate: Go to the location of the target object.
  2. Acquire Object: Take the object from its current receptacle.
  3. Navigate to Appliance: Go to the specified heating appliance.
  4. Prepare Appliance:
    • If the appliance is closed, open it.
    • If the appliance contains other items, you may need to remove them (context-dependent). The default action is to close it and proceed, as some environments abstract this step.
  5. Execute Heating: Use the heat {object} with {appliance} action.
  6. Complete Task: Navigate to the final target location (e.g., a dining table) and put the heated object there.

Key Decision Points

  • Appliance State: If the appliance is occupied, assess if the task implies clearing it. The trajectory shows proceeding without removal is sometimes valid.
  • Object Location: The object may not be at the initial location. Be prepared to search other receptacles (e.g., fridge, countertop, cabinet) if not found.
  • Alternative Appliances: If the primary appliance (e.g., microwave) is unavailable or broken, consider alternatives like a stoveburner.

Example

Task: "Heat some egg and put it on the diningtable."

Input: object: egg 1, appliance: microwave 1, target: diningtable 1

Sequence:

  1. go to fridge 1 → Observation: "You are at fridge 1."
  2. open fridge 1 → Observation: "You open the fridge 1. You see egg 1, ..."
  3. take egg 1 from fridge 1 → Observation: "You pick up the egg 1 from the fridge 1."
  4. go to microwave 1 → Observation: "You are at microwave 1."
  5. heat egg 1 with microwave 1 → Observation: "You heat the egg 1 using the microwave 1."
  6. go to diningtable 1 → Observation: "You are at diningtable 1."
  7. put egg 1 in/on diningtable 1 → Observation: "You put the egg 1 in/on the diningtable 1."

Output: The egg 1 is heated and placed on the diningtable 1. Task complete.
