About the project

SkillNet is infrastructure for finding, creating, evaluating, combining, and coordinating reusable capabilities for AI agents. Agent developers use it as a searchable and installable library of skills and as a system for selecting skills for particular tasks. The catalogue contains skills that can be discovered, installed, or used with SkillNet.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

alfworld-tool-user scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skill: Tool User for ALFWorld

When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

  1. A task requires applying a tool to an object (e.g., cleaning a knife with a sinkbasin, heating food with a microwave)
  2. Both the tool and target object are in the agent's possession or within reach
  3. The agent knows which interaction verb to use for the task context

Core Workflow

1. Identify Requirements

  • Parse the task to determine:
    • Target object: The item to be acted upon (e.g., knife 1, potato 2)
    • Required tool: The appliance or instrument needed (e.g., sinkbasin 1, microwave 1)
    • Interaction type: The action verb (clean, heat, cool, use, examine)

2. Locate and Acquire

  • Target object: If not in inventory, navigate to its location and take {object} from {receptacle}
  • Tool: Navigate to the tool's location (tools are typically stationary appliances)

3. Execute Interaction

Apply the tool to the object using the correct action syntax:

Interaction Action Command Example
Clean clean {obj} with {tool} clean knife 1 with sinkbasin 1
Heat heat {obj} with {tool} heat potato 2 with microwave 1
Cool cool {obj} with {tool} cool apple 1 with fridge 1
Examine examine {obj} examine book 3
Use use {tool} use desklamp 1

4. Verify Outcome

  • Check the environment observation after the action
  • A successful interaction changes the object state (e.g., knife 1 becomes clean)
  • If the observation says "Nothing happened," the action was invalid

Error Handling

  • "Nothing happened": Reassess whether the agent is at the correct location and holding the correct object. Verify the action verb matches the task context.
  • Wrong tool: If the tool does not match the interaction type, search for the correct appliance (e.g., use sinkbasin for cleaning, not bathtub).
  • Object not held: The agent must be holding the target object before most interactions. Use take first.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
