# Material Classification Skill ## When to Use Activate when direct experimental testing of a material property (conductivity, magnetism, etc.) fails or equipment is unavailable, and you need to classify the material by inference to complete a sorting task. ## Procedure 1. `focus on <OBJECT>` — identify the target and note its material composition. 2. Attempt direct testing if equipment exists (e.g., `connect <OBJECT> terminal 1 to <WIRE> terminal 2`). 3. If testing fails, infer the property from the object's material. Consult `references/material_properties.md` for lookup. 4. `move <OBJECT> to <CONTAINER>` — place in the appropriate classification container. 5. `look at <CONTAINER>` — verify the object was placed correctly. ## Example **Task:** Classify a glass jar for electrical conductivity when the circuit test is unavailable. 1. `focus on glass jar` 2. `connect glass jar terminal 1 to yellow wire terminal 2` — action fails (invalid connection). 3. Inference: glass is an electrical insulator → non-conductive. 4. `move glass jar to orange box` 5. `look at orange box` — observation: "containing a glass jar" — classification complete.
