scienceworld-measurement-taker

Use when the agent needs to measure a quantitative property (temperature, weight, pH) of a target object or substance using a measurement tool. This skill covers acquiring the tool, preparing both tool and target with focus actions, executing the measurement via "use [TOOL] on [TARGET]", and interpreting the resulting value for conditional decisions such as classification or placement.

# Skill: scienceworld-measurement-taker ## Purpose Measure a quantitative property of a target object or substance in the ScienceWorld environment using the appropriate measurement tool, then interpret the result for subsequent decision-making. ## When to Use - When a task requires obtaining a numerical reading (temperature, weight, pH) from an object or substance - When a measured value determines a conditional next action (e.g., classify based on temperature threshold) - When the agent needs to compare properties across multiple objects ## Workflow 1. **Identify and acquire the tool** -- Locate the correct measurement instrument (e.g., thermometer, scale) and `pick up` the tool. 2. **Focus on the tool** -- Execute `focus on [TOOL] in inventory` to confirm readiness. 3. **Identify and acquire the target** -- Locate the target object or substance and `pick up` the target. 4. **Focus on the target** -- Execute `focus on [TARGET] in inventory` to confirm readiness. 5. **Position for follow-up** -- If the task requires a follow-up action (e.g., placing in a bin), `teleport to` the appropriate location before measuring. 6. **Execute measurement** -- Use the tool on the target: `use [TO

About this skill
What does the scienceworld-measurement-taker skill do?

Use when the agent needs to measure a quantitative property (temperature, weight, pH) of a target object or substance using a measurement tool. This skill covers acquiring the tool, preparing both tool and target with focus actions, executing the measurement via "use [TOOL] on [TARGET]", and interpreting the resulting value for conditional decisions such as classification or placement.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-measurement-taker --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.
