What it does

Scienceworld Room Scanner is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. This skill performs a 'look around' action to scan and describe the current room's contents, including visible objects, containers, and doors. Use when entering a new room or when the agent needs to locate specific items or assess the environment state. The skill outputs a detailed room description, which is essential for inventory discovery and situational awareness.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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

  • Entering a new room
  • The agent needs to locate specific items
  • Assess the environment state

Example prompts

  • “look around”
  • “/scienceworld-room-scanner”

Workflow steps

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

  1. You first enter a new room via teleport or other movement.
  2. You need to locate a specific object or container mentioned in your task.
  3. The state of the room may have changed (e.g., after an interaction).
  4. You are formulating a plan and require an inventory of available resources.

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 Room Scanner loads about 661 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 346 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~661
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

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 performs a 'look around' action to scan and describe the current room's contents, including visible objects, containers, and doors. Use when entering a new room or when the agent needs to locate specific items or assess the environment state. The skill outputs a detailed room description, which is essential for inventory discovery and situational awareness.

Skill: Room Scanner

Purpose

Execute a look around action to obtain a comprehensive description of the current room in the ScienceWorld environment. This description is the foundational step for any task requiring item location, environmental assessment, or navigation planning.

Core Instruction

When this skill is invoked, the agent must perform the look around action.

Trigger Conditions

Invoke this skill when:

  1. You first enter a new room via teleport or other movement.
  2. You need to locate a specific object or container mentioned in your task.
  3. The state of the room may have changed (e.g., after an interaction).
  4. You are formulating a plan and require an inventory of available resources.

Output Processing

The observation from look around will contain:

  • Room Name: The identifier of your current location.
  • Visible Objects & Agents: A list of all entities in the room.
  • Container Contents: For open containers, a nested list of items inside (e.g., a bowl (containing a red apple, a banana)).
  • Device States: The status of interactive objects (e.g., a stove, which is turned off).
  • Connections: All accessible doors and their destination rooms.

You must parse this output carefully. Use it to update your mental model of the environment before proceeding with other actions like pick up, examine, or use.

Integration Notes

  • This is a low-level, atomic skill. It should often be the first action in a sequence.
  • The observation it generates is critical context for subsequent decision-making. Refer back to it.
  • Do not overuse it. Once you have a recent description of a room, rely on that knowledge until you have reason to believe the state has changed.

Example

Task: Survey the workshop after teleporting there.

  1. look around
  2. Observation: "This room is called the workshop. In it, you see: a table. On the table is: a battery, a blue light bulb, an orange wire, a yellow wire, a green wire. You also see: a blue box, an orange box. There is a door to the hallway."
  3. Parse: available components include battery, light bulb, three wires; classification containers are blue box and orange box.
