At a glance

Activates a device (e.g., blast furnace, stove) to initiate a process like heating.

  • Works in 6 steps: Verify Contents: look at to confirm… → Check State: Observation should show… → Activate: activate → …
  • You have placed materials inside a device and need to start its operation
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Core Workflow, Key Actions and Example, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Scienceworld Device Activator is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. Activates a device (e.g., blast furnace, stove) to initiate a process like heating. Use this skill when you have placed materials inside a device and need to start its operation. Takes a device name as input and outputs a confirmation of activation, enabling tasks that require energy input or material processing to progress.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/device_specifications.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Create, Evaluate, and Connect AI Skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You have placed materials inside a device and need to start its operation

Example prompts

  • “Use the scienceworld-device-activator skill to activate a device (e.g., blast furnace, stove) to initiate a process like heating”
  • “/scienceworld-device-activator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify Contents: look at to confirm materials are placed inside.
  2. Check State: Observation should show "which is turned off" or "which is deactivated."
  3. Activate: activate
  4. Verify Activation: look at — confirm it now reads "turned on" or "activated."
  5. Monitor (if needed): Use measurement tools (e.g., use thermometer on ) to track progress.
  6. Deactivate When Done: deactivate

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

Scienceworld Device Activator loads about 491 tokens when it runs, and up to ~904 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 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
~491
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~904

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
Activates a device (e.g., blast furnace, stove) to initiate a process like heating. Use this skill when you have placed materials inside a device and need to start its operation. Takes a device name as input and outputs a confirmation of activation, enabling tasks that require energy input or material processing to progress.

Skill: Device Activator

Purpose

Activate a device (turn it on, start it, fire it up) to begin its operation — typically heating, processing, or powering a task step.

Core Workflow

  1. Verify Contents: look at <DEVICE_NAME> to confirm materials are placed inside.
  2. Check State: Observation should show "which is turned off" or "which is deactivated."
  3. Activate: activate <DEVICE_NAME>
  4. Verify Activation: look at <DEVICE_NAME> — confirm it now reads "turned on" or "activated."
  5. Monitor (if needed): Use measurement tools (e.g., use thermometer on <MATERIAL>) to track progress.
  6. Deactivate When Done: deactivate <DEVICE_NAME>

Key Actions

ActionPurpose
look at <DEVICE>Verify contents and device state
activate <DEVICE>Turn on / start the device
deactivate <DEVICE>Turn off the device when done
use TOOL on OBJMonitor material state during processing

Example

Task: Melt lead in a blast furnace.

  1. look at blast furnace — confirms: metal pot with lead inside, furnace is turned off
  2. activate blast furnace
  3. look at blast furnace — confirms: "which is turned on"
  4. use thermometer on lead — monitor temperature
  5. look at blast furnace — observe: "a substance called liquid lead" (melting complete)
  6. deactivate blast furnace

Important Notes

  • Most devices are pre-opened. Do not use open or close unless the observation indicates a closed door.
  • Always verify activation succeeded before proceeding to the next task step.
