scienceworld-process-pauser
This skill introduces deliberate pauses in task execution. Use when the agent needs to consider next steps, evaluate intermediate results, or wait for processes to complete. The skill uses the 'wait1' or 'wait' actions to temporarily halt activity, preventing rushed decisions in complex experimental procedures.
npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-process-pauser --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.
# Skill: Process Pauser ## When to Use Activate this skill when you need to: * **Consider next steps** in a complex procedure. * **Evaluate an intermediate result** (e.g., a mixed chemical, a partial assembly). * **Wait for a simulated process** to complete. * **Prevent rushed decisions** that could lead to errors. ## Core Actions Use the following actions to implement a pause: * `wait1`: Pauses execution for a single simulation step. Use for brief reflection. * `wait`: Pauses execution for 10 simulation steps. Use for longer consideration or simulated waiting periods. ## Implementation Logic 1. **Identify the Pause Trigger:** Recognize a moment requiring deliberation (e.g., after creating an intermediate product, before adding a new component). 2. **Select Duration:** Choose `wait1` for quick checks or `wait` for extended evaluation. 3. **Execute Pause:** Perform the selected wait action. 4. **Resume:** Continue the task with the benefit of the reflective pause. ## Example from Trajectory In the paint-mixing task, the agent used `wait1` after creating orange paint and before adding more red to make red-orange. This pause allowed for consideration of proportions and color adjustmen

What does the scienceworld-process-pauser skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-process-pauser --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.
