alfworld-tool-locator
This skill searches for a specified tool or device (e.g., a desklamp) within the environment by checking relevant surfaces. It should be triggered when the agent needs a tool to interact with another object as part of the task. The skill takes a tool name as implicit input and outputs navigation actions to likely storage spots (e.g., sidetables, shelves) until the tool is found.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill alfworld-tool-locator --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Skill: Tool Locator ## Purpose Search for a specified tool or device in an ALFWorld household environment by systematically checking relevant receptacles. ## When to Use Trigger this skill when: 1. You have identified a need for a specific tool (e.g., "desklamp", "knife", "sponge") to complete a task. 2. The tool is not currently in your inventory or immediate vicinity. 3. You need to locate the tool before proceeding with the main task. ## Input (Implicit) - **Tool Name**: The name of the tool/device to locate (e.g., "desklamp", "book", "remotecontrol"). ## Core Logic 1. **Identify Search Targets**: Based on the tool type, prioritize likely storage locations: - For small tools/electronics: `sidetable`, `drawer`, `shelf` - For kitchen tools: `countertop`, `cabinet`, `fridge` - For cleaning tools: `shelf`, `cabinet`, `garbagecan` - Default: Check all visible receptacles in order 2. **Systematic Search Pattern**: - Navigate to each prioritized receptacle - Observe what's on/in the receptacle - If tool is found, stop searching and proceed to use it - If not found, continue to next receptacle 3. **Error Handling**: - If "Nothing happened" is observed, try alternative actions - If too
