Process Monitoring Protocol
When to Use
Activate when an apparatus (stove, burner) is active and you need to check whether a substance has undergone a state change (e.g., solid to liquid, liquid to gas).
Procedure
look at <APPARATUS>— verify it is active and contains the target substance.- If apparatus is not active, use
activate <APPARATUS>first. - If substance is missing, check inventory or nearby containers.
- If apparatus is not active, use
examine <SUBSTANCE>— check its current state description.- Compare the observed state to the previous state. If changed (e.g., "chocolate" to "liquid chocolate"), proceed to the next task step.
- If no change, use
waitthen repeat from step 1.
Run every few steps during an active process. This skill only observes — it does not modify the apparatus or handle substances.
Example
Task: Monitor chocolate melting on a stove.
look at stove— observation: "a stove (activated), containing: chocolate"examine chocolate— observation: "chocolate"- No change yet.
wait examine chocolate— observation: "liquid chocolate"- State change detected. Proceed to take a temperature measurement.
