What it does

Scienceworld Environment Isolation is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. Use when you need to isolate a space (like a greenhouse) by closing doors or openings to create a contained environment. Trigger before starting pollination, temperature-sensitive experiments, or other environmental-sensitive tasks that require controlled conditions. Modifies room connectivity to optimize conditions for specific processes.

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/action_primer.md`).

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

When your agent uses it

  • You need to isolate a space (like a greenhouse) by closing doors
  • Openings to create a contained environment
  • Before starting pollination
  • Temperature-sensitive experiments

Example prompts

  • “/scienceworld-environment-isolation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Optimize Pollination: Isolate a room (like a greenhouse) to concentrate pollinators (e.g., bees) and prevent them from leaving, thereby…
  2. Control Environmental Factors: Create a stable, contained space to manage variables like temperature, humidity, or airflow for a sensitive…
  3. Prevent Contamination or Interference: Seal off a room to protect an ongoing experiment or task from external disturbances.

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 Environment Isolation loads about 737 tokens when it runs, and up to ~987 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 377 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~737
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~987

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.

Use when you need to isolate a space (like a greenhouse) by closing doors or openings to create a contained environment. Trigger before starting pollination, temperature-sensitive experiments, or other environmental-sensitive tasks that require controlled conditions. Modifies room connectivity to optimize conditions for specific processes.

Instructions

When to Use

Trigger this skill when you need to:

  1. Optimize Pollination: Isolate a room (like a greenhouse) to concentrate pollinators (e.g., bees) and prevent them from leaving, thereby increasing the chance of successful cross-pollination between plants.
  2. Control Environmental Factors: Create a stable, contained space to manage variables like temperature, humidity, or airflow for a sensitive process.
  3. Prevent Contamination or Interference: Seal off a room to protect an ongoing experiment or task from external disturbances.

Core Action Sequence

  1. Assess the Environment: Use look around to identify all doors, windows, or other openings in the current room.
  2. Execute Isolation: For each identified opening (e.g., "door to the outside", "door to the hallway"), issue a close command.
    • Example: close door to outside
    • Example: close door to hallway
  3. Verify Closure: Perform a final look around to confirm all intended openings are now closed and the room is successfully isolated.

Key Principles

  • Completeness: Ensure all exits are closed for full isolation. An open door can defeat the purpose.
  • Context-Specific: The specific doors to close depend entirely on the room's layout. Always verify via look around.
  • Post-Isolation: After isolation, monitor the contained process (e.g., plant growth) and use wait actions as needed to allow time for the optimized conditions to take effect.

Notes

  • This skill modifies the connectivity of a space, not its internal state (like temperature controls).
  • The primary observed benefit in the trajectory was enhancing bee-mediated pollination by preventing bee escape.
  • Reversal (re-opening doors) is not part of this skill's core function but can be done using standard open commands if needed later.

Example

Scenario: You need to cross-pollinate two plants in the greenhouse using bees.

  1. You have placed both plants and a bee jar in the greenhouse.
  2. Run look around — you see: "door to outside (open)", "door to hallway (open)".
  3. Run close door to outside — output: "You close the door to outside."
  4. Run close door to hallway — output: "You close the door to hallway."
  5. Run look around — confirm both doors now show as closed. The greenhouse is fully isolated.
  6. Release the bee by running open bee jar. The bee cannot escape and will pollinate both plants.
  7. Run wait several times to allow pollination to complete.
