alfworld-object-locator
Use when the agent needs to find a specific object in ALFWorld that is not currently in inventory and whose location is unknown. This skill parses the environment observation, ranks receptacles by likelihood of containing the target object using common-sense reasoning, and outputs a navigation action to the most promising location.
npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill alfworld-object-locator --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

Where does this skill come from?
From zjunlp/SkillNet, a repository with 1,117 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
