What it does

Alfworld Object Picker is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. Picks up a specified object from a given receptacle. Use this skill when the agent has located a required object and needs to acquire it for later use, such as taking an item from a surface or container. The skill requires the object and source receptacle as inputs, executing a 'take' action to transfer the object into the agent's inventory, enabling further manipulation like placement or usage.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/troubleshooting.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 agent has located a required object and needs to acquire it for later use
  • Such as taking an item from a surface

Example prompts

  • “action to transfer the object into the agent”
  • “Use the alfworld-object-picker skill to pick up a specified object from a given receptacle. An agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet”
  • “/alfworld-object-picker”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify Context: Ensure the agent is at the location of the source_receptacle. If not, the agent must navigate there first using a separate…
  2. Execute Action: Perform the action: take {object} from {source_receptacle}.
  3. Handle Feedback: If the environment indicates "Nothing happened," consult the troubleshooting guide in references/troubleshooting.md for…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3fcebf8. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Object Picker loads about 344 tokens when it runs, and up to ~550 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 124 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~344
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~550

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
Picks up a specified object from a given receptacle. Use this skill when the agent has located a required object and needs to acquire it for later use, such as taking an item from a surface or container. The skill requires the object and source receptacle as inputs, executing a 'take' action to transfer the object into the agent's inventory, enabling further manipulation like placement or usage.

Instructions

Execute the take action to acquire the target object from the source receptacle.

Inputs

  • object: The identifier of the object to pick up (e.g., "toiletpaper 1").
  • source_receptacle: The identifier of the receptacle where the object is located (e.g., "toilet 1").

Process

  1. Verify Context: Ensure the agent is at the location of the source_receptacle. If not, the agent must navigate there first using a separate movement skill.
  2. Execute Action: Perform the action: take {object} from {source_receptacle}.
  3. Handle Feedback: If the environment indicates "Nothing happened," consult the troubleshooting guide in references/troubleshooting.md for potential issues.

Output

  • The specified object is transferred to the agent's inventory.
  • The agent receives an observation confirming the successful pickup (e.g., "You pick up the {object} from the {source_receptacle}").
