- description: Uses a tool from inventory on a target object or location to perform a specific environmental interaction, such as digging or cutting. Activate this skill when a task requires modifying the environment or manipulating materials, like using a shovel to dig soil. It takes the tool and target as inputs and outputs the result of the interaction, enabling physical task progression.
+ description: 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.

- # Instructions
+ # Skill: Tool User
- Use this skill when you need to perform a physical action on the environment using a tool you possess. The core action is `use TOOL on TARGET`.
+ ## Purpose
+ Perform a physical action on the environment using a tool from your inventory. The core action is `use TOOL on TARGET`.
- ## 1. Prerequisites
- * **Tool in Inventory:** Ensure the required tool (e.g., `shovel`, `axe`) is in your inventory. Use `pick up OBJ` if it is not.
- * **Clear Target:** Identify the exact target object or location name (e.g., `ground`, `tree`).
+ ## 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.
- ## 2. Core Action
- Execute the interaction with the command:
+ ## 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 metal fork`
+ 3. Observation: "a thermometer, currently reading a temperature of 72 degrees celsius"
+
+ ## Important Notes
+ * The tool must be in your inventory before use. The `pick up` action is a prerequisite.
+ * Use exact object names as they appear in the environment description.
+ * Some tools produce measurable outputs (thermometer readings); others produce state changes (shovel digs soil). Interpret accordingly.
