Claude-skill-registry alfworld-tool-locator

This skill searches for a specified tool or device (e.g., a desklamp) within the environment by checking relevant surfaces. It should be triggered when the agent needs a tool to interact with another object as part of the task. The skill takes a tool name as implicit input and outputs navigation actions to likely storage spots (e.g., sidetables, shelves) until the tool is found.

Skill: Tool Locator

Purpose

Search for a specified tool or device in an ALFWorld household environment by systematically checking relevant receptacles.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

You have identified a need for a specific tool (e.g., "desklamp", "knife", "sponge") to complete a task.
The tool is not currently in your inventory or immediate vicinity.
You need to locate the tool before proceeding with the main task.

Input (Implicit)

Tool Name: The name of the tool/device to locate (e.g., "desklamp", "book", "remotecontrol").

Core Logic

Identify Search Targets: Based on the tool type, prioritize likely storage locations:
- For small tools/electronics:
```
sidetable
```
  ,
```
drawer
```
  ,
```
shelf
```
- For kitchen tools:
```
countertop
```
  ,
```
cabinet
```
  ,
```
fridge
```
- For cleaning tools:
```
shelf
```
  ,
```
cabinet
```
  ,
```
garbagecan
```
- Default: Check all visible receptacles in order
Systematic Search Pattern:
- Navigate to each prioritized receptacle
- Observe what's on/in the receptacle
- If tool is found, stop searching and proceed to use it
- If not found, continue to next receptacle
Error Handling:
- If "Nothing happened" is observed, try alternative actions
- If tool not found after checking all likely spots, expand search to all receptacles
