alfworld-device-operator

Operates a device or appliance (like a desklamp, microwave, or fridge) to interact with another object. Use when the task requires using a tool on a target item (e.g., "look at laptop under the desklamp", "heat potato with microwave"). Locates both the device and target object, co-locates them, and executes the appropriate use action (toggle, heat, cool, or clean).

Quality

Content

92%

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

A well-structured, actionable skill body with a clear sequenced workflow and a concrete worked example. The main gap is progressive disclosure: an existing reference file is not linked from the body, and there is a minor action-format inconsistency between Phase 4 and the example.

Suggestions

Link the existing bundle in Phase 1, e.g. "See [device_location_guide.md](references/device_location_guide.md) for typical device receptacles", so the reference is discoverable rather than orphaned.

Reconcile the action format inconsistency: Phase 4 specifies `toggle {device} {recep}` but the worked example uses `use desklamp 1` — choose one form and apply it consistently.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — phases, rules, and the worked trace each earn their place without explaining concepts Claude already knows. It does not pad with generic background.	3 / 3
Actionability	Provides exact executable action formats ("go to {recep}", "take {obj} from {recep}", "heat {obj} with {device}") plus a full worked example with real action strings, which is copy-paste ready rather than pseudocode.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	A clearly sequenced four-phase flow with an explicit error-recovery checkpoint ("If the environment responds with 'Nothing happened,' re-evaluate your object/device names and your location"), matching the feedback-loop anchor rather than a flat list.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	The body is well-organized into clear sections, but the provided references/device_location_guide.md is never linked or signaled from the body, leaving the bundle reference orphaned while Phase 1 inlines a few receptacle hints.	2 / 3

Description

100%

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, third-person description that clearly states what it does, when to use it with natural trigger phrasings, and the specific actions it performs. It is concise, distinct, and free of vague fluff.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — "Locates both the device and target object, co-locates them, and executes the appropriate use action (toggle, heat, cool, or clean)" — matching the multi-action anchor rather than the partial coverage of score 2.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ("Operates a device or appliance...") and when via an explicit "Use when the task requires using a tool on a target item" clause with example triggers, so the trigger is not merely implied.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Uses natural task phrasings a user would actually say ("look at laptop under the desklamp", "heat potato with microwave"), giving good coverage of natural terms rather than a single generic keyword.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear niche (ALFWorld device/appliance operation) with highly distinctive triggers unlikely to match other skills.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
