What it does

Scienceworld Measurement Taker is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. Use when the agent needs to measure a quantitative property (temperature, weight, pH) of a target object or substance using a measurement tool. This skill covers acquiring the tool, preparing both tool and target with focus actions, executing the measurement via "use [TOOL] on [TARGET]", and interpreting the resulting value for conditional decisions such as classification or placement.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/action_glossary.md` and `references/decision_workflow.md`).

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

When your agent uses it

  • The agent needs to measure a quantitative property (temperature
  • PH) of a target object
  • Substance using a measurement tool

Example prompts

  • “use [TOOL] on [TARGET]”
  • “/scienceworld-measurement-taker”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify and acquire the tool -- Locate the correct measurement instrument (e.g., thermometer, scale) and pick up the tool.
  2. Focus on the tool -- Execute focus on [TOOL] in inventory to confirm readiness.
  3. Identify and acquire the target -- Locate the target object or substance and pick up the target.
  4. Focus on the target -- Execute focus on [TARGET] in inventory to confirm readiness.
  5. Position for follow-up -- If the task requires a follow-up action (e.g., placing in a bin), teleport to the appropriate location before…
  6. Execute measurement -- Use the tool on the target: use [TOOL] on [TARGET].
  7. Interpret and act -- Read the numerical result and execute the appropriate conditional action.

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 Measurement Taker loads about 784 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 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
~784
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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
Use when the agent needs to measure a quantitative property (temperature, weight, pH) of a target object or substance using a measurement tool. This skill covers acquiring the tool, preparing both tool and target with focus actions, executing the measurement via "use [TOOL] on [TARGET]", and interpreting the resulting value for conditional decisions such as classification or placement.

Skill: scienceworld-measurement-taker

Purpose

Measure a quantitative property of a target object or substance in the ScienceWorld environment using the appropriate measurement tool, then interpret the result for subsequent decision-making.

When to Use

  • When a task requires obtaining a numerical reading (temperature, weight, pH) from an object or substance
  • When a measured value determines a conditional next action (e.g., classify based on temperature threshold)
  • When the agent needs to compare properties across multiple objects

Workflow

  1. Identify and acquire the tool -- Locate the correct measurement instrument (e.g., thermometer, scale) and pick up the tool.
  2. Focus on the tool -- Execute focus on [TOOL] in inventory to confirm readiness.
  3. Identify and acquire the target -- Locate the target object or substance and pick up the target.
  4. Focus on the target -- Execute focus on [TARGET] in inventory to confirm readiness.
  5. Position for follow-up -- If the task requires a follow-up action (e.g., placing in a bin), teleport to the appropriate location before measuring.
  6. Execute measurement -- Use the tool on the target: use [TOOL] on [TARGET].
  7. Interpret and act -- Read the numerical result and execute the appropriate conditional action.

Examples

Example 1: Measure temperature and classify
> teleport to kitchen
You teleport to the kitchen.

> pick up thermometer
You pick up the thermometer.

> focus on thermometer in inventory
You focus on the thermometer.

> pick up unknown substance B
You pick up the unknown substance B.

> focus on unknown substance B in inventory
You focus on the unknown substance B.

> teleport to hallway
You teleport to the hallway.

> use thermometer on unknown substance B
The thermometer measures a temperature of 56 degrees celsius.

> move unknown substance B to orange box
You move the unknown substance B to the orange box.
Example 2: Measure and compare two objects
> use thermometer on metal fork
The thermometer measures a temperature of 23 degrees celsius.

> use thermometer on glass cup
The thermometer measures a temperature of 87 degrees celsius.

The glass cup (87) is hotter than the metal fork (23).

Key Principles

  • Tool first -- Secure the measurement tool before handling the target.
  • Focus before use -- Always focus on both tool and target in inventory before measuring.
  • Plan ahead -- Identify where follow-up actions occur and position accordingly before measuring.
  • Map thresholds -- Clarify decision thresholds (e.g., "above 100.0" vs. "below 100.0") before executing the measurement.
