Soil Extraction

Skill: Soil Extraction

Purpose

This skill enables the agent to extract soil from the ground using a shovel. It is a foundational step for planting tasks, transforming a bare outdoor location into a source of usable soil.

Prerequisites

1. Tool in Inventory: You must possess a shovel in your inventory.
2. Location: You must be in an outdoor environment (e.g., outside) where digging is permissible.
3. Ground Access: The ground must be accessible and diggable.

Core Procedure

1. Navigate: Ensure you are in the target outdoor location (e.g., teleport to outside).
2. Execute Dig: Use the command use shovel in inventory on ground.
3. Collect Output: The action will produce soil placed nearby. Use pick up soil to add it to your inventory.

Key Notes

• Deterministic Action: The use shovel in inventory on ground command is a reliable, single-step method for soil extraction as demonstrated in the trajectory.
• Output Management: The extracted soil is a separate object that must be explicitly picked up. It does not automatically enter your inventory.
• Skill Chaining: This skill is typically followed by teleport to transport the soil and move to deposit it into a target container (e.g., a flower pot).

Error Handling & Ambiguity

• If the use command is ambiguous, select the action that clearly involves your inventory shovel and the ground.
• If no soil appears after digging, verify your location and that the shovel is correctly in your inventory.
• This skill does not handle soil preparation (e.g., mixing with water) or planting. It is strictly for extraction.
