| name | scienceworld-substance-cooler |
| description | This skill initiates the cooling of a substance by moving it into a cooling appliance like a freezer. Use when a task requires lowering the temperature of a specific material to observe phase changes. The skill takes the substance (often in a container) and the target appliance as inputs, using the 'move OBJ to OBJ' action. It outputs confirmation of the new location. |
Skill: Substance Cooler
Purpose
Use this skill to begin the process of cooling a substance to potentially observe a phase change (e.g., freezing). The core action is to relocate the substance into a cooling appliance.
When to Use
- The task explicitly requires cooling a substance (e.g., "measure the melting point of mercury").
- You have identified both the target substance (often inside a container like a cup or jar) and a suitable cooling appliance (e.g., freezer, ultra low temperature freezer).
- The immediate goal is to lower the substance's temperature.
Core Instruction
- Locate Items: Ensure you are in the room containing the target substance and the cooling appliance. Use
look around if necessary.
- Execute Move: Perform the action
move <SUBSTANCE_CONTAINER> to <APPLIANCE>.
<SUBSTANCE_CONTAINER>: The object holding the substance (e.g., "glass cup (containing a substance called mercury)").
<APPLIANCE>: The cooling device (e.g., "freezer").
- Verify: Use
look at <APPLIANCE> to confirm the substance is now inside the appliance. Report this confirmation.
Important Notes
- Prerequisite: The appliance door must be open. The trajectory shows all containers are already open, so this should not require a separate
open action.
- This is an Initialization Skill: This skill only starts the cooling process. Subsequent skills or actions (like
use thermometer on <SUBSTANCE>) are required to monitor temperature changes and observe the phase transition.
- Inputs: The skill requires the names of the substance container and the target appliance as identified in the environment observations.
- Output: A confirmation observation stating the substance is now inside the appliance.
Example from Trajectory
Trigger: Task requires measuring the melting point of mercury.
Action: move glass cup (containing a substance called mercury) to freezer
Verification: look at freezer yields "In the freezer is: a glass cup (containing a substance called mercury)."
Output: "The mercury in its glass cup has been placed into the freezer to begin cooling."
