# Instructions ## When to Use Trigger this skill when you need to: 1. **Optimize Pollination:** Isolate a room (like a greenhouse) to concentrate pollinators (e.g., bees) and prevent them from leaving, thereby increasing the chance of successful cross-pollination between plants. 2. **Control Environmental Factors:** Create a stable, contained space to manage variables like temperature, humidity, or airflow for a sensitive process. 3. **Prevent Contamination or Interference:** Seal off a room to protect an ongoing experiment or task from external disturbances. ## Core Action Sequence 1. **Assess the Environment:** Use `look around` to identify all doors, windows, or other openings in the current room. 2. **Execute Isolation:** For each identified opening (e.g., "door to the outside", "door to the hallway"), issue a `close` command. * **Example:** `close door to outside` * **Example:** `close door to hallway` 3. **Verify Closure:** Perform a final `look around` to confirm all intended openings are now closed and the room is successfully isolated. ## Key Principles * **Completeness:** Ensure *all* exits are closed for full isolation. An open door can defeat the purpose. * **Context-Specific:** The specific doors to close depend entirely on the room's layout. Always verify via `look around`. * **Post-Isolation:** After isolation, monitor the contained process (e.g., plant growth) and use `wait` actions as needed to allow time for the optimized conditions to take effect. ## Notes * This skill modifies the **connectivity** of a space, not its internal state (like temperature controls). * The primary observed benefit in the trajectory was enhancing bee-mediated pollination by preventing bee escape. * Reversal (re-opening doors) is not part of this skill's core function but can be done using standard `open` commands if needed later. ## Example **Scenario:** You need to cross-pollinate two plants in the greenhouse using bees. 1. You have placed both plants and a bee jar in the `greenhouse`. 2. Run `look around` — you see: "door to outside (open)", "door to hallway (open)". 3. Run `close door to outside` — output: "You close the door to outside." 4. Run `close door to hallway` — output: "You close the door to hallway." 5. Run `look around` — confirm both doors now show as closed. The greenhouse is fully isolated. 6. Release the bee by running `open bee jar`. The bee cannot escape and will pollinate both plants. 7. Run `wait` several times to allow pollination to complete.
