scienceworld-task-focuser
Use when the agent needs to direct attention to a specific object in the environment or inventory before performing a critical action such as measuring, using, or connecting. This preparatory "focus on" step signals intent to the ScienceWorld system, often unlocking required state changes for subsequent interactive steps in experimental procedures.

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: scienceworld-task-focuser ## Purpose Formally declare intent to interact with a specific object in the ScienceWorld environment. The `focus on` action is a required preparatory step that signals to the system which object subsequent actions (`use`, `measure`, `connect`) will target, often unlocking necessary state changes or measurement capabilities. ## When to Use - Before using a measurement tool (e.g., thermometer) on a target object - Before complex operations such as connecting, mixing, or combining objects - When a task description explicitly instructs "focus on" an object - To confirm the correct item is in inventory before proceeding with an action ## Workflow 1. **Identify the target object** -- Determine the exact name as it appears in the environment (e.g., `thermometer`, `metal fork`). 2. **Locate the object** -- Use `look around` or `inventory` to confirm the object's location (environment or inventory). 3. **Execute the focus action** -- Issue the appropriate command: - Object in the environment: `focus on <OBJECT_NAME>` - Object in inventory: `focus on <OBJECT_NAME> in inventory` 4. **Verify confirmation** -- Wait for the system response: `"You focus on the

What does the scienceworld-task-focuser skill do?
Use when the agent needs to direct attention to a specific object in the environment or inventory before performing a critical action such as measuring, using, or connecting. This preparatory "focus on" step signals intent to the ScienceWorld system, often unlocking required state changes for subsequent interactive steps in experimental procedures.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-task-focuser --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.
