Scienceworld Animal Identifier

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The agent needs to locate
• Focus on a specific animal
• Biological entity in the ScienceWorld environment

Example prompts

• “teleport to”
• “look around”
• “focus on ANIMAL”
• “/scienceworld-animal-identifier”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Navigate to the target location -- If the animal is in a specific room (e.g., "outside", "greenhouse"), execute teleport to .
2. 2Survey the area -- Use look around to list all visible objects and entities.
3. 3Identify the target -- Parse the observation to find the exact animal name as displayed (e.g., baby dragonfly, parrot egg, adult blue jay).
4. 4Execute focus -- Run focus on using the exact name from the observation.
5. 5Confirm success -- Wait for the system response: "You focus on the .".

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

  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

Scienceworld Animal Identifier loads about 702 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 267 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~108

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~702

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

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

Use when the agent needs to locate, identify, and focus on a specific animal or biological entity in the ScienceWorld environment. This skill handles tasks involving animal comparison, examination, or interaction (such as determining lifespan extremes) by navigating to the correct location with "teleport to", surveying with "look around", and executing "focus on ANIMAL" with the exact entity name.

> teleport to outside
You teleport to outside.

> look around
You see: baby dragonfly, adult blue jay, parrot egg, oak tree, grass.

> focus on adult blue jay
You focus on the adult blue jay.

> teleport to outside
You teleport to outside.

> look around
You see: baby dragonfly, adult blue jay, parrot egg.

> focus on adult blue jay
You focus on the adult blue jay.

> focus on baby dragonfly
You focus on the baby dragonfly.
