Agent Building
View on GitHub

Plans a path to move the agent between receptacles to search for target objects. Use this when you need to traverse the environment to reach a specific location or systematically explore multiple areas. It takes the current location and destination receptacle as input, and outputs the next 'go to' action to approach the target.

First, summarize what it does, its dependencies, license status if identifiable, and any risks. Show the exact files you propose to add under .agents/skills/alfworld-navigation-planner/. Do not write files or run scripts until I approve.

After I approve, install the complete skill folder, including required referenced files, into that project location. Verify it is discoverable, then tell me its actual invocation name and how to use it. Do not claim it is installed until you have verified it.

Instructions

Use this skill to navigate between receptacles (e.g., bed, desk, drawer) in a household environment to locate objects. The core logic is handled by the bundled script.

Input/Output Format

  • Input: Provide the agent's current location and the target receptacle.
  • Output: The skill will return the next go to {recep} action to execute.

How to Use

  1. Identify your goal. Determine which receptacle you need to search (e.g., desk 1 to find a desklamp).
  2. Call the skill. Pass your current location and the target receptacle.
  3. Execute the action. Perform the go to action returned by the skill.
  4. Observe and repeat. After moving, observe the new location. If the target object is not found, use this skill again to plan movement to the next most promising receptacle.

Key Principles

  • Systematic Search: Move efficiently between likely receptacles instead of random exploration.
  • Adaptive Planning: If an action fails ("Nothing happened"), the script's logic helps choose an alternative path.
  • Context Preservation: Always note your current location after each move for the next planning step.

Example Thought Process:

Thought: I need to find a desklamp. The desk 1 is a likely location. I am currently at bed 1. Action: Use alfworld-navigation-planner with current location bed 1 and target desk 1. Result: go to desk 1
