scienceworld-environment-scanner
This skill performs an initial observation of the current location to identify available objects, containers, and connections to other rooms. Use this when starting a new task in ScienceWorld to gather situational awareness, especially when the agent needs to understand its surroundings before taking action. It outputs a detailed room description, listing visible items and accessible doors.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Instructions Execute this skill when you first arrive at a location in ScienceWorld or when you need to refresh your understanding of the current environment. ## Core Action 1. **Always begin by using the `look around` action.** This is the primary and mandatory step of this skill. It provides the foundational observation of the room. ## Output Interpretation After executing `look around`, analyze the observation. Your analysis must structure the output clearly: * **Current Room:** State the name of the room you are in. * **Visible Objects & Substances:** List all items and substances reported in the observation. * **Accessible Doors:** List all doors mentioned, noting their destination and whether they are open or closed. * **Initial Assessment:** Briefly note any items of immediate interest or relevance to your known task. ## Example Output Format

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.
