What it does

Scienceworld Tool User is an agent skill from zjunlp/SkillNet. Uses a tool from inventory on a target object or location to perform a specific environmental interaction, such as digging, cutting, or measuring. Use this skill when a task requires modifying the environment or manipulating materials with a tool (e.g., using a shovel to dig soil, a thermometer to measure temperature, or an axe to cut wood). Takes the tool and target as inputs and outputs the result of the interaction.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/example_trajectory.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: Create, Evaluate, and Connect AI Skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A task requires modifying the environment
  • Manipulating materials with a tool (e.g.
  • Using a shovel to dig soil
  • A thermometer to measure temperature

Example prompts

  • “Use the scienceworld-tool-user skill to use a tool from inventory on a target object or location to perform a specific environmental interaction…”
  • “/scienceworld-tool-user”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ensure Tool in Inventory: The required tool (e.g., shovel, thermometer, axe) must be in your inventory. Use pick up OBJ if it is not.
  2. Identify Target: Determine the exact target object or location name (e.g., ground, tree, metal fork).
  3. Execute: use TOOL on TARGET.
  4. Interpret Result: Read the observation output to determine the outcome (e.g., temperature reading, state change).

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 Tool User loads about 524 tokens when it runs, and up to ~751 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 235 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~524
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~751

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
Uses a tool from inventory on a target object or location to perform a specific environmental interaction, such as digging, cutting, or measuring. Use this skill when a task requires modifying the environment or manipulating materials with a tool (e.g., using a shovel to dig soil, a thermometer to measure temperature, or an axe to cut wood). Takes the tool and target as inputs and outputs the result of the interaction.

Skill: Tool User

Purpose

Perform a physical action on the environment using a tool from your inventory. The core action is use TOOL on TARGET.

When to Use

  • A task requires modifying the environment (digging, cutting, heating).
  • You need to measure a property of an object (temperature, conductivity).
  • A tool-based interaction is the next step in your experiment workflow.

Core Workflow

  1. Ensure Tool in Inventory: The required tool (e.g., shovel, thermometer, axe) must be in your inventory. Use pick up OBJ if it is not.
  2. Identify Target: Determine the exact target object or location name (e.g., ground, tree, metal fork).
  3. Execute: use TOOL on TARGET.
  4. Interpret Result: Read the observation output to determine the outcome (e.g., temperature reading, state change).

Key Actions

ActionPurpose
pick up OBJAcquire tool if not in inventory
use OBJ on OBJPerform tool interaction
look aroundConfirm target identity and location

Example

Task: Measure the temperature of a metal fork using a thermometer.

  1. pick up thermometer — ensure tool is in inventory
  2. use thermometer on metal fork
  3. Observation: "a thermometer, currently reading a temperature of 72 degrees celsius"

Important Notes

  • The tool must be in your inventory before use. The pick up action is a prerequisite.
  • Use exact object names as they appear in the environment description.
  • Some tools produce measurable outputs (thermometer readings); others produce state changes (shovel digs soil). Interpret accordingly.
