Activates a device (e.g., blast furnace, stove) to initiate a process like heating. Use this skill when you have placed materials inside a device and need to start its operation. Takes a device name as input and outputs a confirmation of activation, enabling tasks that require energy input or material processing to progress.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill: Device Activator

## Purpose
Activate a device (turn it on, start it, fire it up) to begin its operation — typically heating, processing, or powering a task step.

## Core Workflow
1. **Verify Contents:** `look at <DEVICE_NAME>` to confirm materials are placed inside.
2. **Check State:** Observation should show "which is turned off" or "which is deactivated."
3. **Activate:** `activate <DEVICE_NAME>`
4. **Verify Activation:** `look at <DEVICE_NAME>` — confirm it now reads "turned on" or "activated."
5. **Monitor (if needed):** Use measurement tools (e.g., `use thermometer on <MATERIAL>`) to track progress.
6. **Deactivate When Done:** `deactivate <DEVICE_NAME>`

## Key Actions
| Action | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `look at <DEVICE>` | Verify contents and device state |
| `activate <DEVICE>` | Turn on / start the device |
| `deactivate <DEVICE>` | Turn off the device when done |
| `use TOOL on OBJ` | Monitor material state during processing |

## Example
**Task:** Melt lead in a blast furnace.

1. `look at blast furnace` — confirms: metal pot with lead inside, furnace is turned off
2. `activate blast furnace`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zjunlp/skillnet/scienceworld-device-activator@sha256:302fa3066130702a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260316.1c3faca, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
