| name | alfworld-temperature-regulator |
| description | Manages the temperature state of an object by placing it into an appropriate appliance (fridge for cooling, microwave for heating). Use when the task requires modifying an object's temperature property, such as "cool some bread" or "heat some food". Takes the object identifier, temperature-modifying receptacle, and final target receptacle as inputs, and outputs the object at the target location with its temperature state changed. |
Instructions
This skill executes a sequence to change an object's temperature by placing it in a specific receptacle (e.g., fridge for cooling, microwave for heating) and then relocating it to a final target location.
1. Input Validation & Planning
- Inputs Required: The
object identifier (e.g., bread 1) and the temperature_receptacle identifier (e.g., fridge 1 for cooling, microwave 1 for heating). The final target_receptacle (e.g., diningtable 1) is also required.
- Verify the provided object and receptacles exist in the agent's current observation. If not, the agent must first navigate to locate them.
- Plan the sequence: Locate object -> Pick up object -> Navigate to temperature receptacle -> Open it (if closed) -> Place object inside -> Close receptacle (optional, based on environment feedback) -> Navigate to target receptacle -> Place object there.
2. Execution Sequence
Follow this core logic. Use deterministic scripts for error-prone steps (see scripts/).
- Acquire Object:
go to the object's location, then take {object} from {recep}.
- Apply Temperature Effect:
go to {temperature_receptacle}.- If the receptacle is reported as "closed",
open {temperature_receptacle}.
put {object} in/on {temperature_receptacle}.- (Optional)
close {temperature_receptacle} if the environment or task logic suggests it (e.g., maintaining fridge temperature).
- Deliver Object:
go to {target_receptacle}, then put {object} in/on {target_receptacle}.
3. Error Handling & Observations
- If an action results in "Nothing happened", consult the troubleshooting guide in
references/troubleshooting.md.
- Always verify the state change after each action (e.g., "You pick up...", "You open...", "You put...").
- If the object is not at the expected location, pause execution and re-scan the environment.
4. Example
Task: "Cool some bread and put it on the diningtable."
Input: object: bread 1, temperature_receptacle: fridge 1, target_receptacle: diningtable 1
Sequence:
go to countertop 1 → Observation: "You are at countertop 1. You see bread 1, ..."take bread 1 from countertop 1 → Observation: "You pick up the bread 1 from the countertop 1."go to fridge 1 → Observation: "You are at fridge 1."cool bread 1 with fridge 1 → Observation: "You cool the bread 1 using the fridge 1."go to diningtable 1 → Observation: "You are at diningtable 1."put bread 1 in/on diningtable 1 → Observation: "You put the bread 1 in/on the diningtable 1."
Output: The bread 1 is cooled and placed on the diningtable 1. Task complete.
5. Completion
The skill is complete when the object has been placed into the temperature_receptacle and subsequently placed onto the target_receptacle. Confirm the final observation states the object is on the target.
