alfworld-tool-locator
Searches for a specified tool or device (e.g., a desklamp, knife, or sponge) within the ALFWorld environment by checking relevant surfaces. Use when you need a tool to interact with another object as part of a task but the tool is not in your inventory or immediate vicinity. Takes a tool name as implicit input and navigates to likely storage spots (sidetables, shelves, countertops) until the tool is found.

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.
# Instructions Locate a specified tool or device by systematically checking receptacles where it is likely stored. ## Workflow 1. **Prioritize search locations** based on tool type: - Small tools/electronics (desklamp, remotecontrol): `sidetable`, `desk`, `drawer`, `shelf` - Kitchen tools (knife, spatula): `countertop`, `cabinet`, `drawer` - Cleaning tools (sponge, spraybottle): `shelf`, `cabinet`, `countertop` - Default: check all visible receptacles in order 2. **Navigate** to each prioritized receptacle: `go to {receptacle}` 3. **Inspect** the observation for the target tool name 4. **If found:** Stop searching. Proceed to use the tool for the main task 5. **If not found:** Continue to the next receptacle in the priority list 6. **If exhausted:** Expand search to remaining receptacles not yet checked ## Action Format - `go to {receptacle}` -- navigate to check a location - `take {tool} from {receptacle}` -- pick up the tool once found (if needed) - `use {tool}` / `toggle {tool}` -- operate the tool in place (e.g., desklamp) ## Error Recovery - If "Nothing happened": verify the receptacle name matches the environment scan - If tool not found after all likely spots: expand search

How do I install it?

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.
