Individual skill

scienceworld-object-focuser

This skill selects and focuses on a specific object to signal task intent or prepare it for manipulation. Use when you have identified a target object that meets task criteria (e.g., a living thing) and need to formally select it before performing actions like moving or using the object in ScienceWorld tasks. The skill uses the 'focus on OBJ' action, taking the object name as input.

# Skill: Object Focuser

## Purpose
Use this skill to formally select a target object in the ScienceWorld environment. The `focus on` action signals your intent to the task system and is often a prerequisite for subsequent manipulation steps like `pick up` or `move`.

## When to Use
*   After you have identified an object that matches the task's criteria (e.g., "a living thing", "a conductive material").
*   Before you attempt to pick up, move, or use that object as part of the task sequence.
*   When the task trajectory or environment feedback suggests an object needs to be "focused on" to proceed.

## Core Instruction
1.  **Identify the Target:** From your observation (`look around`, `examine`), determine the exact name of the object you intend to use for the task.
2.  **Execute Focus:** Use the action: `focus on <OBJECT_NAME>`.
    *   Replace `<OBJECT_NAME>` with the precise noun phrase from the environment (e.g., `dove egg`, `copper wire`, `beaker`).
3.  **Proceed:** After receiving a confirmation observation, continue with the next step in your plan (e.g., `pick up <OBJECT_NAME>`, `move <OBJECT_NAME> to ...`).
