This skill introduces deliberate pauses in task execution. Use when the agent needs to consider next steps, evaluate intermediate results, or wait for processes to complete. The skill uses the 'wait1' or 'wait' actions to temporarily halt activity, preventing rushed decisions in complex experimental procedures.

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: Process Pauser

## When to Use
Activate this skill when you need to:
* **Consider next steps** in a complex procedure.
* **Evaluate an intermediate result** (e.g., a mixed chemical, a partial assembly).
* **Wait for a simulated process** to complete.
* **Prevent rushed decisions** that could lead to errors.

## Core Actions
Use the following actions to implement a pause:
* `wait1`: Pauses execution for a single simulation step. Use for brief reflection.
* `wait`: Pauses execution for 10 simulation steps. Use for longer consideration or simulated waiting periods.

## Implementation Logic
1.  **Identify the Pause Trigger:** Recognize a moment requiring deliberation (e.g., after creating an intermediate product, before adding a new component).
2.  **Select Duration:** Choose `wait1` for quick checks or `wait` for extended evaluation.
3.  **Execute Pause:** Perform the selected wait action.
4.  **Resume:** Continue the task with the benefit of the reflective pause.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zjunlp/skillnet/scienceworld-process-pauser@sha256:240e2467d1f63ee6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260316.e08426e, 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.
