alfworld-appliance-navigator

Navigates the agent to a target appliance (microwave, stove, fridge, or sinkbasin) needed for object processing. Use when you are holding an object that needs heating, cooling, or cleaning and must move to the correct appliance station. Identifies the required appliance from the task context and executes the movement action.

Quality

Content

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, highly actionable instruction body for a single-purpose navigation skill: concrete command templates, a complete worked example, and a clear step sequence. The main weakness is redundancy — the Key Principles section restates the trigger and workflow steps — and the absence of any error-recovery guidance.

Suggestions

Remove or drastically trim the 'Key Principles' section — its three bullets restate the opening sentence and Workflow steps 3–4, cutting roughly 25% of the body without losing information.

Add a brief recovery step to the workflow for when the target appliance is not visible in the current observation (e.g., 'If not found, go to another room / receptacle and re-scan').

Disambiguate the 'heat -> microwave/stoveburner' mapping by stating how to choose between the two (e.g., pick whichever is visible in the current observation).

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly lean, but the entire 'Key Principles' section duplicates content already stated: 'Trigger' restates the opening sentence, 'Core Action' restates Workflow step 3, and 'Prerequisite Check' restates step 4. A duplicated section is more than the 'minor instances of over-explanation' of anchor 4, fitting anchor 3's 'could be tightened'.

3 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable guidance: an explicit action-to-appliance mapping ('heat -> microwave/stoveburner, cool -> fridge, clean -> sinkbasin'), copy-paste-ready commands ('go to {appliance}', 'open {appliance}'), and a complete worked Thought/Action/Observation example covering the common heat case while the mapping determines the cool and clean cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Four clearly sequenced steps with a prerequisite checkpoint ('check if the appliance requires preparation... perform open {appliance} before proceeding'), matching anchor 4. Not anchor 5 because there are no explicit validation or error-recovery steps (e.g., what to do if the target appliance is not found in the observation).

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines, self-contained with no external references needed, and well-organized into Workflow, Example, and Key Principles sections — meeting the rubric's simple-skill exception where progressive disclosure scores 5 with just well-organized sections.

Description

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description with a clear what-and-when structure, concrete appliance names, and explicit trigger conditions. Its main flaws are the second-person 'Use when you are holding' phrasing (violating the third-person voice requirement) and the absence of synonym variations for the trigger terms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names concrete actions ('Identifies the required appliance from the task context and executes the movement action') and enumerates specific appliances, which fits anchor 4, but the second-person trigger phrasing 'Use when you are holding an object' incurs the rubric's -1 voice penalty, dropping it to anchor 3.

3 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: what ('Navigates the agent to a target appliance... Identifies the required appliance... and executes the movement action') and when ('Use when you are holding an object that needs heating, cooling, or cleaning and must move to the correct appliance station'). Matches the anchor 5 example structure with concrete trigger phrases; anchor 4 would require a weaker or less explicit 'when'.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage: 'heating, cooling, or cleaning' plus appliance names 'microwave, stove, fridge, or sinkbasin' and the holding-object state. Falls short of anchor 5 because common synonyms (warm, chill, wash) and variations are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (appliance navigation in ALFWorld) with distinct appliance triggers and an explicit holding-object condition. Minor overlap risk remains with a companion skill that performs the actual heat/cool/clean processing, since those trigger terms are shared — anchor 4 rather than 5.
