Inventory Management Skill
When to Use
Activate this skill when:
- Task requires collecting multiple instances of the same object type (e.g., "put two cellphone in bed")
- You need to track progress toward a quantity-based goal
- Searching through multiple locations systematically
Core Workflow
1. Initialize Inventory
- Parse the task description to identify:
- Target object type (e.g., "cellphone")
- Required quantity (e.g., "two")
- Initialize counters:
collected = 0, needed = <quantity>
- Create empty list for searched locations
2. Systematic Search Pattern
Follow this search priority:
- Visible surfaces (desks, dressers, beds) - check first
- Closed containers (drawers, cabinets) - open and inspect
- Return to known locations if inventory incomplete
Critical Rule: After finding an object, immediately place it at the target location before searching for the next one.
3. Action Decision Logic
Use this decision tree:
