Agent Building
View on GitHub

Use when the agent is holding an object and needs to place it into a target receptacle in ALFWorld. This skill checks receptacle suitability, opens closed containers if needed, and executes the `put` command to store the object. It handles both open surfaces (countertops, beds) and closed containers (drawers, cabinets).

Skill: Object Storer

When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

  1. The agent is holding the target object (optionally cleaned/heated/cooled as required)
  2. A suitable storage receptacle has been identified
  3. The agent needs to execute the final placement step

Core Workflow

1. Validate Prerequisites

  • Confirm the agent is holding {object_name} (check inventory)
  • Confirm the agent is at the location of {target_receptacle}
  • If not at the receptacle, navigate there first: go to {target_receptacle}

2. Check Receptacle State

Evaluate the receptacle before placing:

Receptacle StateAction
Open and empty/suitableProceed with put
Closed (drawer, cabinet, safe)open {target_receptacle} first, then put
Unsuitable (wrong type, full)Abort and search for alternative receptacle

3. Execute Storage

  • Run: put {object_name} in/on {target_receptacle}
  • Check the observation for confirmation

4. Verify Placement

  • A successful placement updates the receptacle contents in the observation
  • If the observation confirms the object is now in/on the receptacle, storage is complete

Example

Task: "Clean the knife and put it in a drawer."

> go to drawer 1
The drawer 1 is closed.
> open drawer 1
You open the drawer 1. The drawer 1 is open. In it, you see nothing.
> put knife 1 in/on drawer 1
You put the knife 1 in/on the drawer 1.

Result: knife 1 is now stored in drawer 1. Task complete.

Example 2 — Open surface:

> go to bed 1
On the bed 1, you see a pillow 1.
> put cellphone 2 in/on bed 1
You put the cellphone 2 in/on the bed 1.

Error Handling

  • "Nothing happened": The agent may not be holding the object, or the receptacle name is incorrect. Verify with inventory and re-check the receptacle identifier.
  • Receptacle unsuitable: If the receptacle is not appropriate for the object, search for an alternative using the object-locator skill.
  • Agent not at receptacle: Navigate to the receptacle with go to {target_receptacle} before attempting put.
