Representative sources

A bounded sample of popular skills mapped to this occupation, with at most one Skill from each GitHub repository. The complete mapped list follows.

characterization-workflow-orchestrator

a5c-ai/babysitter

Workflow automation skill for orchestrating multi-technique characterization sequences

imaging-data-commons

lamm-mit/scienceclaw

Query and download public cancer imaging data from NCI Imaging Data Commons using idc-index. Use for accessing large-scale radiology (CT, MR, PET) and pathology datasets for AI training or research. No authentication required. Query by metadata, visualize in browser, check licenses.

scienceworld-circuit-builder

taomiao/DynamicSkillCompiler

This skill constructs a simple electrical circuit by connecting components like batteries, wires, and light bulbs. It should be triggered when the agent needs to test electrical conductivity or create a functional circuit for an experiment. The input is a set of available components, and the output is a fully connected circuit ready for activation.

scienceworld-circuit-builder

taomiao/DynamicSkillCompiler

This skill constructs a simple electrical circuit by connecting components like batteries, wires, and light bulbs. It should be triggered when the agent needs to test electrical conductivity or create a functional circuit for an experiment. The input is a set of available components, and the output is a fully connected circuit ready for activation.

scienceworld-circuit-connector

taomiao/DynamicSkillCompiler

This skill connects two electrical components (e.g., wires, batteries, devices) by their terminals to build or modify a circuit. It should be triggered when constructing electrical setups for testing, such as conductivity checks or device activation. The input includes two component identifiers and their connection points, and the output is an established electrical connection.

scienceworld-conditional-focus-executor

taomiao/DynamicSkillCompiler

Executes a 'focus' action on a specific object based on the outcome of a prior conditional evaluation. It should be triggered when task instructions specify focusing on different objects (e.g., different colored boxes) depending on a measurement result. The skill takes the conditional outcome as input and performs the corresponding focus action.

scienceworld-conditional-placer

taomiao/DynamicSkillCompiler

Places an object into one of several designated containers based on a measured condition, such as a temperature threshold. It is triggered after a measurement or assessment when the task requires sorting or storing the object according to a rule.

scienceworld-container-inspector

taomiao/DynamicSkillCompiler

This skill performs a 'look at' action to inspect the contents of a specific container or device. It should be triggered when the agent needs to verify what is inside a container (e.g., checking if lead is in the blast furnace) or monitor the state of contents (e.g., solid vs. liquid). The skill outputs a detailed list of contents and their states, providing essential feedback for process monitoring.

scienceworld-container-relocator

taomiao/DynamicSkillCompiler

Moves an object from inventory to a specified container in a target room. Triggered when the task requires placing an item into a particular receptacle (e.g., 'move it to the orange box').

scienceworld-container-transfer

taomiao/DynamicSkillCompiler

Moves a substance or object from one container to another (e.g., moving lead to a metal pot). Triggered when the agent needs to prepare materials for processing, such as transferring a substance into a heat-resistant container for heating experiments.

controlled-waiting

taomiao/DynamicSkillCompiler

Executes timed waiting to allow processes like plant growth or pollination to progress. Use this skill when you need to advance time for biological or mechanical processes to reach their next stages. This enables progression in tasks that require temporal development rather than immediate actions.
