Material Classification Skill
When to Use
Activate when direct experimental testing of a material property (conductivity, magnetism, etc.) fails or equipment is unavailable, and you need to classify the material by inference to complete a sorting task.
Procedure
focus on <OBJECT>— identify the target and note its material composition.- Attempt direct testing if equipment exists (e.g.,
connect <OBJECT> terminal 1 to <WIRE> terminal 2). - If testing fails, infer the property from the object's material. Consult
references/material_properties.mdfor lookup. move <OBJECT> to <CONTAINER>— place in the appropriate classification container.look at <CONTAINER>— verify the object was placed correctly.
Example
Task: Classify a glass jar for electrical conductivity when the circuit test is unavailable.
focus on glass jarconnect glass jar terminal 1 to yellow wire terminal 2— action fails (invalid connection).- Inference: glass is an electrical insulator → non-conductive.
move glass jar to orange boxlook at orange box— observation: "containing a glass jar" — classification complete.
