This skill locates and picks up a specified tool or instrument from the environment. It should be triggered when a task requires a specific tool (e.g., thermometer, stopwatch) for measurement or manipulation. The skill identifies the tool's location via observation and executes a pick-up action, moving the tool to inventory.

Instructions

Primary Goal: Locate a specified tool and move it to your inventory.

1. Identify the Target Tool

  • The required tool will be specified in the user's task or request (e.g., "thermometer", "stopwatch", "lighter").
  • Confirm the exact name of the tool object.

2. Locate the Tool via Exploration

  • If you are not in the correct room, use teleport to [ROOM_NAME] to go to the most likely location (e.g., kitchen, workshop).
  • Use look around to survey the current room.
  • Scan the observation for the target tool name. It may be:
    • Listed directly in the room description (e.g., "a thermometer").
    • Inside an open container (e.g., "a fridge. In the fridge is: chocolate, a wood cup...").
  • If the tool is not immediately visible, examine likely containers using look at [CONTAINER] (e.g., look at counter, look at cupboard).

3. Execute the Pick-up

  • Once the tool is located, execute the action: pick up [TOOL_NAME].
  • Example: pick up thermometer.
  • Verify the action was successful by checking the observation for confirmation (e.g., "You move the thermometer to the inventory.").

4. Post-Action Verification (Optional)

  • If required by the broader task, you may perform a secondary action to signal readiness, such as focus on [TOOL_NAME] in inventory.

Key Constraints & Notes

  • Containers are Open: All containers are pre-opened. Do not use open or close actions.
  • Direct Action: Proceed directly to pick up. Do not attempt to move the tool to an intermediate location first.
  • Tool Not Found: If the tool is not in the initial room, systematically teleport to other relevant rooms and repeat the look around search pattern.
  • Single Tool: This skill fetches one specified tool. For multiple tools, trigger the skill sequentially.

Output: The target tool will be in your inventory, ready for use in subsequent task steps.
