zjunlp Skill: Object Focuser
Purpose
Use this skill to formally select a target object in the ScienceWorld environment. The focus on action signals your intent to the task system and is often a prerequisite for subsequent manipulation steps like pick up or move.
When to Use
- After you have identified an object that matches the task's criteria (e.g., "a living thing", "a conductive material").
- Before you attempt to pick up, move, or use that object as part of the task sequence.
- When the task trajectory or environment feedback suggests an object needs to be "focused on" to proceed.
Core Instruction
- Identify the Target: From your observation (
look around,examine), determine the exact name of the object you intend to use for the task. - Execute Focus: Use the action:
focus on <OBJECT_NAME>.- Replace
<OBJECT_NAME>with the precise noun phrase from the environment (e.g.,dove egg,copper wire,beaker).
- Replace
- Proceed: After receiving a confirmation observation, continue with the next step in your plan (e.g.,
pick up <OBJECT_NAME>,move <OBJECT_NAME> to ...).
Key Considerations
- Object Naming: Use the name exactly as it appears in observations. The system is case-sensitive and expects the full descriptor (e.g., "dove egg", not just "dove" or "egg").
- Timing: Focus is typically performed after exploration/identification and before the main manipulation action.
- Task Logic: This action is a procedural formality within ScienceWorld. It does not change the object's state but informs the task tracker of your selected target.
Example
Task: Focus on a dove egg before picking it up for a biology task.
look around— observe: "a dove egg on the table"focus on dove egg- Confirmation received → proceed with
pick up dove egg.
