# Instructions ## When to Use Use this skill when you need to locate a specific receptacle (e.g., `garbagecan 1`, `cabinet 3`) that is not immediately visible in your current observation. The skill is triggered after an initial scan of nearby areas fails to reveal the target. ## Core Procedure 1. **Identify Target**: Confirm the exact name of the receptacle you need to find (e.g., from the task: "put a cool lettuce in garbagecan" -> target is `garbagecan 1`). 2. **Initial Check**: Quickly examine the most common or nearby receptacles mentioned in the initial observation (e.g., countertops, tables, open cabinets). 3. **Systematic Search**: If not found, begin a systematic exploration: - Use the `go to {recep}` action to navigate to candidate locations. - Prioritize receptacles that are typically in the environment (cabinets, countertops, tables). - If a candidate is closed (e.g., "The cabinet 2 is closed."), you may skip opening it unless the target could logically be inside. The trajectory shows that the target receptacle (`garbagecan 1`) was not inside any closed cabinet. 4. **Persistence**: Continue the search until the target is found. The trajectory demonstrates checking 20 cab

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.
