What it does

Scienceworld Task Focuser is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. Use when the agent needs to direct attention to a specific object in the environment or inventory before performing a critical action such as measuring, using, or connecting. This preparatory "focus on" step signals intent to the ScienceWorld system, often unlocking required state changes for subsequent interactive steps in experimental procedures.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

When your agent uses it

  • The agent needs to direct attention to a specific object in the environment
  • Inventory before performing a critical action such as measuring

Example prompts

  • “focus on”
  • “/scienceworld-task-focuser”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the target object -- Determine the exact name as it appears in the environment (e.g., thermometer, metal fork).
  2. Locate the object -- Use look around or inventory to confirm the object's location (environment or inventory).
  3. Execute the focus action -- Issue the appropriate command
  4. Verify confirmation -- Wait for the system response: "You focus on the ." before proceeding to the next step.

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 Task Focuser loads about 668 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 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
~668

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 direct attention to a specific object in the environment or inventory before performing a critical action such as measuring, using, or connecting. This preparatory "focus on" step signals intent to the ScienceWorld system, often unlocking required state changes for subsequent interactive steps in experimental procedures.

Skill: scienceworld-task-focuser

Purpose

Formally declare intent to interact with a specific object in the ScienceWorld environment. The focus on action is a required preparatory step that signals to the system which object subsequent actions (use, measure, connect) will target, often unlocking necessary state changes or measurement capabilities.

When to Use

  • Before using a measurement tool (e.g., thermometer) on a target object
  • Before complex operations such as connecting, mixing, or combining objects
  • When a task description explicitly instructs "focus on" an object
  • To confirm the correct item is in inventory before proceeding with an action

Workflow

  1. Identify the target object -- Determine the exact name as it appears in the environment (e.g., thermometer, metal fork).
  2. Locate the object -- Use look around or inventory to confirm the object's location (environment or inventory).
  3. Execute the focus action -- Issue the appropriate command:
    • Object in the environment: focus on <OBJECT_NAME>
    • Object in inventory: focus on <OBJECT_NAME> in inventory
  4. Verify confirmation -- Wait for the system response: "You focus on the <OBJECT_NAME>." before proceeding to the next step.

Examples

Example 1: Preparing to measure temperature of a metal fork
> focus on thermometer in inventory
You focus on the thermometer.

> focus on metal fork in inventory
You focus on the metal fork.

> use thermometer on metal fork
The thermometer measures a temperature of 23 degrees celsius.
Example 2: Focusing on an environmental object before moving it
> look around
You see: a table, a blue box, a red box, a metal fork (on table).

> focus on metal fork
You focus on the metal fork.

> move metal fork to blue box
You move the metal fork to the blue box.

Important Notes

  • This skill does not perform the main action (e.g., measuring). It only prepares for it.
  • The focus action has no physical effect on the object; it is a declarative meta-action.
  • Always wait for the confirmation observation before attempting the next step.
  • If the object is not found, use look around, examine, or teleport to to locate it before attempting to focus.
