scienceworld-animal-identifier

Use when the agent needs to locate, identify, and focus on a specific animal or biological entity in the ScienceWorld environment. This skill handles tasks involving animal comparison, examination, or interaction (such as determining lifespan extremes) by navigating to the correct location with "teleport to", surveying with "look around", and executing "focus on ANIMAL" with the exact entity name.

This skill handles tasks involving animal comparison, examination, or interaction (such as determining lifespan extremes) by navigating to the correct location with "teleport to", surveying with "look around", and executing "focus on ANIMAL" with the exact entity name.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-animal-identifier --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

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.
