# Skill: Room Scanner ## Purpose Execute a `look around` action to obtain a comprehensive description of the current room in the ScienceWorld environment. This description is the foundational step for any task requiring item location, environmental assessment, or navigation planning. ## Core Instruction When this skill is invoked, the agent must perform the **`look around`** action. ## Trigger Conditions Invoke this skill when: 1. You first enter a new room via `teleport` or other movement. 2. You need to locate a specific object or container mentioned in your task. 3. The state of the room may have changed (e.g., after an interaction). 4. You are formulating a plan and require an inventory of available resources. ## Output Processing The observation from `look around` will contain: * **Room Name:** The identifier of your current location. * **Visible Objects & Agents:** A list of all entities in the room. * **Container Contents:** For open containers, a nested list of items inside (e.g., `a bowl (containing a red apple, a banana)`). * **Device States:** The status of interactive objects (e.g., `a stove, which is turned off`). * **Connections:** All accessible doors and their desti

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.
