scienceworld-recipe-retriever

This skill locates and acquires a recipe or instruction document by using 'pick up' on the recipe object. Use when the task involves following a specific procedure (e.g., crafting, mixing) and the agent needs to obtain the written instructions. The skill assumes the recipe is visible in the current room and moves it to the inventory, allowing the agent to read it later to understand required ingredients and steps.

# Skill: Recipe Retriever ## Purpose Acquire a visible recipe or instruction document from the current environment and store it in your inventory for later reference. ## Trigger Conditions Use this skill when: 1. The task involves following a specific procedure (e.g., crafting, mixing, building). 2. You are instructed to find or use a recipe. 3. You need written instructions to understand required ingredients and steps. ## Core Procedure 1. **Locate Recipe**: Use `look around` to survey the current room. Identify any object described as a "recipe," "instructions," "manual," or similar document. 2. **Acquire Recipe**: Use `pick up <recipe_object>` to move the recipe to your inventory. 3. **Verify Acquisition**: Confirm the recipe is now in your inventory before proceeding to the next task phase. ## Key Notes - This skill assumes the recipe is visible and accessible in the current room. - The skill ends once the recipe is successfully moved to inventory. - Reading the recipe (using `read`) is a separate action that should be performed after acquisition. - If the recipe is not found in the current room, you may need to explore other rooms first. ## Error Handling - If `pick up` fails

What does the scienceworld-recipe-retriever skill do?

This skill locates and acquires a recipe or instruction document by using 'pick up' on the recipe object. Use when the task involves following a specific procedure (e.g., crafting, mixing) and the agent needs to obtain the written instructions. The skill assumes the recipe is visible in the current room and moves it to the inventory, allowing the agent to read it later to understand required ingredients and steps.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-recipe-retriever --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.
