Alfworld Locate Target Object

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Your goal requires finding a specific object (e.g.
• Plate) and its location is not immediately known

Example prompts

• “potato”
• “Use the alfworld-locate-target-object skill to navigate to a suspected location and identifies a target object”
• “/alfworld-locate-target-object”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Identify Target & Suspected Location: Determine the object you need and the most logical place to find it (e.g., food in the fridge…
2. 2Navigate: Go to the suspected receptacle.
3. 3Inspect: If the receptacle is closed, open it.
4. 4Locate: Visually scan the contents for the target object.
5. 5Report: Output the object's location if found, or note its absence.

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 Locate Target Object loads about 747 tokens when it runs, and up to ~984 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 346 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

~747

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~984

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

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.

name

alfworld-locate-target-object

description

Navigates 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.

Thought: I need to find a potato. Potatoes are commonly stored in the fridge.
Action: go to fridge 1
Observation: The fridge 1 is closed.
Action: open fridge 1
Observation: You open the fridge 1. The fridge 1 is open. In it, you see a potato 1, a lettuce 2.
