scienceworld-tool-user
Uses a tool from inventory on a target object or location to perform a specific environmental interaction, such as digging, cutting, or measuring. Use this skill when a task requires modifying the environment or manipulating materials with a tool (e.g., using a shovel to dig soil, a thermometer to measure temperature, or an axe to cut wood). Takes the tool and target as inputs and outputs the result of the interaction.

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

# Skill: Tool User ## Purpose Perform a physical action on the environment using a tool from your inventory. The core action is `use TOOL on TARGET`. ## When to Use - A task requires modifying the environment (digging, cutting, heating). - You need to measure a property of an object (temperature, conductivity). - A tool-based interaction is the next step in your experiment workflow. ## Core Workflow 1. **Ensure Tool in Inventory:** The required tool (e.g., `shovel`, `thermometer`, `axe`) must be in your inventory. Use `pick up OBJ` if it is not. 2. **Identify Target:** Determine the exact target object or location name (e.g., `ground`, `tree`, `metal fork`). 3. **Execute:** `use TOOL on TARGET`. 4. **Interpret Result:** Read the observation output to determine the outcome (e.g., temperature reading, state change). ## Key Actions | Action | Purpose | |--------|---------| | `pick up OBJ` | Acquire tool if not in inventory | | `use OBJ on OBJ` | Perform tool interaction | | `look around` | Confirm target identity and location | ## Example **Task:** Measure the temperature of a metal fork using a thermometer. 1. `pick up thermometer` — ensure tool is in inventory 2. `use thermometer on

What does the scienceworld-tool-user skill do?
Uses a tool from inventory on a target object or location to perform a specific environmental interaction, such as digging, cutting, or measuring. Use this skill when a task requires modifying the environment or manipulating materials with a tool (e.g., using a shovel to dig soil, a thermometer to measure temperature, or an axe to cut wood). Takes the tool and target as inputs and outputs the result of the interaction.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add zjunlp/SkillNet --skill scienceworld-tool-user --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.
