name: scienceworld-animal-identifier
- description: This skill identifies and focuses on specific animals or biological entities present in the environment. It should be triggered when the task requires examining, comparing, or interacting with animals, such as determining lifespan attributes. The skill takes an animal identifier as input and outputs a confirmation of focus, aiding in targeted analysis for scientific experiments or comparisons.
+ description: Use when the agent needs to locate, identify, and focus on a specific animal or biological entity in the ScienceWorld environment. This skill handles tasks involving animal comparison, examination, or interaction (such as determining lifespan extremes) by navigating to the correct location with "teleport to", surveying with "look around", and executing "focus on ANIMAL" with the exact entity name.

- # Instructions
+ # Skill: scienceworld-animal-identifier
## Purpose
- This skill enables the agent to locate and focus on a specified animal or biological entity within the ScienceWorld environment. It is designed for tasks involving animal comparison, examination, or interaction, such as determining lifespan extremes.
- ## Core Workflow
- 1. **Locate Target Environment:** If the target animal is known to be in a specific location (e.g., 'outside'), teleport there first.
- 2. **Survey the Area:** Use `look around` to list all visible objects and entities in the current location.
- 3. **Identify Target:** Parse the observation to find the specified animal identifier (e.g., 'parrot egg', 'baby dragonfly').
- 4. **Execute Focus:** Use the `focus on <ANIMAL>` action to signal intent on the identified target object.
+ Locate and focus on a specified animal or biological entity within the ScienceWorld environment for tasks involving animal comparison, examination, or interaction (e.g., determining lifespan extremes, identifying species).
+ ## When to Use
+
+ - When a task requires finding and focusing on a specific animal or biological entity
+ - When comparing attributes (lifespan, size, type) across multiple animals
+ - When the task instructs examining or interacting with an animal in a specific location
+
+ ## Workflow
+
+ 1. **Navigate to the target location** -- If the animal is in a specific room (e.g., "outside", "greenhouse"), execute `teleport to <LOCATION>`.
+ 2. **Survey the area** -- Use `look around` to list all visible objects and entities.
+ 3. **Identify the target** -- Parse the observation to find the exact animal name as displayed (e.g., `baby dragonfly`, `parrot egg`, `adult blue jay`).
+ 4. **Execute focus** -- Run `focus on <ANIMAL>` using the exact name from the observation.
+ 5. **Confirm success** -- Wait for the system response: `"You focus on the <ANIMAL>."`.
+
+ ## Examples
+
+ ### Example 1: Find the animal with the longest lifespan
+
+ **Task:** "Find the animal with the longest life span and focus on it."
+
+ ```
+ > teleport to outside
+ You teleport to outside.
+
+ > look around
+ You see: baby dragonfly, adult blue jay, parrot egg, oak tree, grass.
+
+ > focus on adult blue jay
+ You focus on the adult blue jay.
+ ```
+
+ (Blue jays have a longer lifespan than dragonflies among the visible animals.)
+
+ ### Example 2: Sequential identification of two animals
+
+ **Task:** "First focus on the longest-lived animal, then the shortest-lived."
+
+ ```
+ > teleport to outside
+ You teleport to outside.
+
+ > look around
+ You see: baby dragonfly, adult blue jay, parrot egg.
+
+ > focus on adult blue jay
+ You focus on the adult blue jay.
+
+ > focus on baby dragonfly
+ You focus on the baby dragonfly.
+ ```
+
## Key Principles
- * **Context-Aware Navigation:** Always verify your current location. If you are not in the correct room for the target animal, use `teleport to <LOCATION>` as the first step.
- * **Precise Targeting:** The `focus on` action requires the exact object name as it appears in the `look around` observation (e.g., "baby dragonfly", not just "dragonfly").
- * **Sequential Execution:** This skill is often used in a sequence (e.g., find longest-lived, then shortest-lived animal). Complete the focus action for one target before proceeding to the next.
- ## Input/Output
- * **Input:** An animal identifier or a task description implying the need to identify/focus on an animal (e.g., "find the animal with the longest life span").
- * **Output:** A confirmation that the `focus on <ANIMAL>` action has been successfully executed on the correct target.
+ - **Exact names** -- The `focus on` action requires the precise object name as it appears in `look around` (e.g., `"baby dragonfly"`, not just `"dragonfly"`).
+ - **Navigate first** -- Always verify your location and `teleport to` the correct room before surveying.
+ - **Sequential execution** -- When focusing on multiple animals in sequence, complete each `focus on` action before proceeding to the next.
