scienceworld-process-monitor
This skill observes the state of an active apparatus and its contents to track progress. Use when you need to periodically check for state changes (e.g., solid to liquid) during a heating or reaction process. The skill uses 'look at' or 'examine' actions on the apparatus and substance.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Process Monitoring Protocol ## When to Use Activate when an apparatus (stove, burner) is active and you need to check whether a substance has undergone a state change (e.g., solid to liquid, liquid to gas). ## Procedure 1. `look at <APPARATUS>` — verify it is active and contains the target substance. - If apparatus is not active, use `activate <APPARATUS>` first. - If substance is missing, check inventory or nearby containers. 2. `examine <SUBSTANCE>` — check its current state description. 3. Compare the observed state to the previous state. If changed (e.g., "chocolate" to "liquid chocolate"), proceed to the next task step. 4. If no change, use `wait` then repeat from step 1. Run every few steps during an active process. This skill only observes — it does not modify the apparatus or handle substances. ## Example **Task:** Monitor chocolate melting on a stove. 1. `look at stove` — observation: "a stove (activated), containing: chocolate" 2. `examine chocolate` — observation: "chocolate" 3. No change yet. `wait` 4. `examine chocolate` — observation: "liquid chocolate" 5. State change detected. Proceed to take a temperature measurement.

What does the scienceworld-process-monitor skill do?
This skill observes the state of an active apparatus and its contents to track progress. Use when you need to periodically check for state changes (e.g., solid to liquid) during a heating or reaction process. The skill uses 'look at' or 'examine' actions on the apparatus and substance.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-process-monitor --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.
