scienceworld-object-locator
Searches for a specific target object across multiple rooms by systematically teleporting to likely locations and examining each room. Use this skill when you need to find an object whose exact location is unknown. Iterates through candidate rooms using teleport and look around, checks for the object, and continues until found, returning the object's location.
npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-object-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.
# Instructions ## Purpose Locate a specific target object within the ScienceWorld environment when its location is unknown. ## Inputs - **Target Object:** The name of the object to find (e.g., "thermometer", "metal fork"). - **Candidate Rooms (Optional):** A list of room names to search. If not provided, the skill will use a default priority list based on common object locations. ## Core Process 1. **Initialize:** Receive the target object name. 2. **Plan Search Order:** Determine the sequence of rooms to search. Use the provided `prioritize_rooms.py` script to generate an optimal search order based on the target object. 3. **Execute Search Loop:** a. Teleport to the next room in the search order. b. Use the `look around` action to observe the room's contents. c. Parse the observation to check for the presence of the target object. d. If the object is found, **stop the search** and output its location. e. If the object is not found, proceed to the next room. 4. **Output:** Report the room where the object was found. If the object is not found after searching all candidate rooms, report this failure. ## Key Actions - `teleport to <ROOM_NAME>` - `look around` - `examine <OBJECT>` (if

What does the scienceworld-object-locator skill do?
Searches for a specific target object across multiple rooms by systematically teleporting to likely locations and examining each room. Use this skill when you need to find an object whose exact location is unknown. Iterates through candidate rooms using teleport and look around, checks for the object, and continues until found, returning the object's location.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-object-locator --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.
