| name | scienceworld-target-locator |
| description | This skill determines the most likely location for a target object based on domain knowledge and environmental clues. Trigger this when the agent needs to find a specific item (like an animal) but it is not in the current room. It analyzes the environment description and suggests a room to teleport to for further investigation. |
Skill: Target Locator
Trigger: When the agent needs to find a specific object (e.g., an animal, a tool, a chemical) and a preliminary look around in the current room does not reveal it.
Core Logic
- Analyze the Target: Classify the target object based on its type (e.g.,
animal, tool, container, chemical).
- Consult Domain Knowledge: Use the bundled reference (
target_location_heuristics.md) to map the object type to the most probable room(s) in the ScienceWorld environment.
- Evaluate Current Context: Briefly review the recent
look around observation. If doors to high-probability rooms are visible and open, prioritize them.
- Output Decision: Output a single, clear
teleport to LOC action command, choosing the most promising location to search next.
Primary Instruction: Do not overthink. Rely on the heuristics. The goal is to make an efficient, educated guess to continue the search.
Example Flow (From Trajectory)
- Task: "find a(n) animal."
- Trigger:
look around in hallway shows no animal.
- Analysis: Target type =
animal.
- Heuristic Check: Animals are most commonly found
outside.
- Context Check: A door to
outside is not listed in the hallway observation.
- Decision: The highest-probability room
outside is accessible via teleport.
- Output:
teleport to outside
