| name | alfworld-storage-explorer |
| description | This skill systematically explores storage receptacles (like drawers or cabinets) to find an appropriate placement location for an object. It should be triggered when the agent needs to store an item but the exact storage location is unknown or must be validated. The skill involves opening, inspecting, and closing receptacles to assess their suitability. |
Skill: Storage Explorer
When to Use
Activate this skill when:
- You have an object that needs to be stored/placed.
- The exact target receptacle is unspecified or ambiguous.
- You need to validate if a potential receptacle is appropriate before placing the object.
Core Strategy
- Prioritize Exploration: When the target location is unclear, systematically check available storage receptacles.
- Inspect Before Placing: Always open and examine a receptacle's contents before deciding to place your object there.
- Maintain Environment State: Close receptacles after inspection unless you're placing the object inside.
Execution Pattern
Follow this decision flow:
Phase 1: Initial Assessment
- Identify all potential storage receptacles in the environment (drawers, cabinets, etc.)
- If you already have the target object, proceed to Phase 2
- If you don't have the object, acquire it first (this skill focuses on storage exploration)
Phase 2: Systematic Exploration
For each candidate receptacle:
- Navigate to the receptacle
- Open it (if closed)
- Observe its contents
- Evaluate suitability based on:
- Current contents (are similar objects stored here?)
- Available space
- Logical categorization
- Close the receptacle (unless placing object there)
Phase 3: Decision Making
- If you find a clearly appropriate receptacle (e.g., contains similar objects), place your object there
- If no receptacle is clearly appropriate, choose based on:
- Empty receptacles first
- Proximity to related objects/areas
- Consistency with environment patterns
Key Considerations
- Efficiency: Don't explore receptacles that are clearly inappropriate (e.g., refrigerator for non-food items)
- Context Clues: Look for environmental hints about storage organization
- Task Requirements: Consider if the object needs special conditions (clean, cooled, heated)
Error Handling
- If "Nothing happened" when trying to open/close, the receptacle might be locked or broken
- If unable to place object in a receptacle, try alternative locations
- If all exploration fails, reconsider your understanding of "appropriate" storage
