| name | change-posture-then-move |
| description | Guidance for commands that combine a posture change with travel (e.g. "stand up then walk over", "crouch and sneak to the door", "get up and go"). Emit the SIMPLE travel intent; the engine auto-stands before walking, so a bare moveTo covers stand-then-go. For a sustained low gait, pick the matching locomotion skill. |

change-posture-then-move
Many commands chain a posture change with travel. Because the engine
auto-stands before walking, the common case ("stand up, then go to X") collapses
to a single moveTo. Choose the right primitive for the kind of movement asked.
Composes: sit-and-stand (stand, done by the engine) + walk (travel) +
bend-knees (for a crouched/low gait).
How
- Stand → walk ("get up and go to the couch"): just
moveTo:{target:"couch"} — the engine stands you first. (An explicit stand
Action first is harmless; one moveTo is cleaner.)
- Crouch → move quietly ("crouch and sneak to the door"): prefer the dedicated
gait skill (
sneak/crouch-walk) which keeps the knees bent (bend-knees)
while translating; or emit moveTo and let the engine walk normally.
- Keep it to ONE primary intent. Don't stuff a sitting
pose into a walk Action.
Worked Actions
- "stand up and walk to the window" →
{"durationMs":2500,"moveTo":{"target":"window"},"say":"Up and moving."}
- "get up then come here" (toward current facing from origin) →
{"durationMs":1800,"moveTo":{"x":0,"z":2},"say":"Coming."}
Notes
If the command is ONLY a posture change (no travel), use sit-and-stand,
get-up, or bend-knees. If it's ONLY travel, use walk / navigate-to-place.
