scienceworld-animal-identifier

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.

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

The body is a well-structured, highly actionable instruction skill with concrete commands and complete worked transcripts. Its weaknesses are a missing pointer to the bundled references/action_primer.md and slight redundancy across the Workflow, Examples, and Key Principles sections.

Suggestions

Add a one-line reference to the bundle file, e.g. under Workflow: 'For action details and an observation-parsing guide, see [action_primer.md](references/action_primer.md)' — the file currently exists but is never discoverable from SKILL.md.

Trim redundancy: fold 'Key Principles' points ('Exact names', 'Navigate first') into the workflow steps, and shorten Example 2's repeated teleport/look-around block.

Add a brief error-recovery note to the workflow, e.g. if the target animal is not in the 'look around' observation, teleport to another plausible location and survey again.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is efficient with no padding over known concepts, but 'Key Principles' largely restates the workflow ('Exact names', 'Navigate first') and Example 2 repeats Example 1's teleport/look-around setup — minor trims would earn the top anchor. Not a 3, since there is no unnecessary explanation, only mild redundancy.	4 / 5
Actionability	Fully executable guidance: exact commands (`teleport to <LOCATION>`, `look around`, `focus on <ANIMAL>`), the precise success response to wait for ("You focus on the <ANIMAL>."), and two complete copy-paste-style transcripts covering the common single- and sequential-focus cases.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear 5-step sequence with an explicit 'Confirm success' checkpoint, but there is no error-recovery feedback loop (e.g., what to do if the target animal does not appear in the 'look around' observation), which the top anchor expects. Not a 3: a validation checkpoint is explicitly present.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Sections are well-organized and the body is short, but the bundle file references/action_primer.md — which contains an action primer and observation-parsing guide not in the body — is never referenced or signaled from SKILL.md, leaving it orphaned. This matches 'references present but not clearly signaled' rather than the 'references mostly clear' anchor.	3 / 5

Description

92%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: explicit 'Use when' trigger guidance, third-person voice, concrete named commands, and a clearly bounded ScienceWorld niche. The only gap is modest synonym coverage (e.g., 'find', 'life span' as a user might phrase it).

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	The description lists multiple concrete actions with the exact commands: "navigating to the correct location with 'teleport to', surveying with 'look around', and executing 'focus on ANIMAL' with the exact entity name" — comprehensive coverage of the skill's action set, matching the top anchor rather than the minor-gaps anchor below it.	5 / 5
Completeness	It explicitly answers both questions: "Use when the agent needs to locate, identify, and focus on a specific animal or biological entity in the ScienceWorld environment" (when) and the concrete what-clause describing navigation, survey, and focus actions. Not a 4, since the 'when' is explicit with concrete triggers rather than merely present.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Natural trigger phrases are present ("locate, identify, and focus on a specific animal", "animal comparison, examination, or interaction", "determining lifespan extremes"), but common variations a user might say — e.g. "find" an animal or "life span" — are missing, so it falls just short of the comprehensive-synonyms anchor.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	"in the ScienceWorld environment" plus environment-specific commands ('teleport to', 'focus on ANIMAL') carve out a clear niche with distinct triggers and minimal conflict risk with other skills.	5 / 5
	Total	19 / 20 Passed
