What it does

Scienceworld Material Classifier is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. This skill makes a determination about a material's property (e.g., conductivity) based on environmental cues or domain knowledge when direct testing fails. Trigger it when experimental actions are invalid or unavailable, requiring a logical inference. It uses observed object properties and common-sense reasoning to classify the material and decide its final disposition.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/material_properties.json` and `references/material_properties.md`).

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

When your agent uses it

  • It when experimental actions are invalid
  • Requiring a logical inference

Example prompts

  • “/scienceworld-material-classifier”

Workflow steps

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

  1. focus on — identify the target and note its material composition.
  2. Attempt direct testing if equipment exists (e.g., connect terminal 1 to terminal 2).
  3. If testing fails, infer the property from the object's material. Consult references/material_properties.md for lookup.
  4. move to — place in the appropriate classification container.
  5. look at — verify the object was placed correctly.

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 Material Classifier loads about 398 tokens when it runs, and up to ~977 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 164 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~398
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~977

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
This skill makes a determination about a material's property (e.g., conductivity) based on environmental cues or domain knowledge when direct testing fails. Trigger it when experimental actions are invalid or unavailable, requiring a logical inference. It uses observed object properties and common-sense reasoning to classify the material and decide its final disposition.

Material Classification Skill

When to Use

Activate when direct experimental testing of a material property (conductivity, magnetism, etc.) fails or equipment is unavailable, and you need to classify the material by inference to complete a sorting task.

Procedure

  1. focus on <OBJECT> — identify the target and note its material composition.
  2. Attempt direct testing if equipment exists (e.g., connect <OBJECT> terminal 1 to <WIRE> terminal 2).
  3. If testing fails, infer the property from the object's material. Consult references/material_properties.md for lookup.
  4. move <OBJECT> to <CONTAINER> — place in the appropriate classification container.
  5. look at <CONTAINER> — verify the object was placed correctly.

Example

Task: Classify a glass jar for electrical conductivity when the circuit test is unavailable.

  1. focus on glass jar
  2. connect glass jar terminal 1 to yellow wire terminal 2 — action fails (invalid connection).
  3. Inference: glass is an electrical insulator → non-conductive.
  4. move glass jar to orange box
  5. look at orange box — observation: "containing a glass jar" — classification complete.
