scienceworld-target-identifier

scienceworld-target-identifier is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zjunlp/SkillNet. It costs 64 tokens per session (704 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An object-identification skill that reads a ScienceWorld room description and finds objects matching a requested type or description.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps identify targets such as living things, containers, electrical devices, substances, and other objects after scanning a room.
Why use it?
It turns a long list of observed items into likely candidates for the current task.

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

scienceworld-target-identifier 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 2d 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: Target Object Identifier

Purpose

This skill enables you to systematically locate objects in the ScienceWorld environment that match a specific target description (e.g., "living thing", "container", "electrical device"). It transforms the raw observation text from look around into a structured list of candidate objects for your current task.

When to Use

  1. Trigger Condition: Immediately after executing look around in any room.
  2. Input Required: The full observation text from look around AND the target description from your task.
  3. Output: A prioritized list of matching objects with their locations and properties.

Execution Workflow

Step 1: Parse Observation

Extract all observable items from the room description. Pay special attention to:

  • Objects listed after "Here you see:"
  • Objects in containers (marked with "containing" or "On the X is:")
  • Substances (marked as "a substance called")
  • Living vs. non-living distinctions

Step 2: Apply Target Filter

Use the bundled classification script to filter objects based on the target description:

  • For "living thing": Include animals, plants, eggs, and biological organisms
  • For specific categories: Match against known object taxonomies
  • For generic descriptions: Use semantic similarity matching

Step 3: Prioritize Candidates

Rank candidates by:

  1. Accessibility: Objects not in closed containers first
  2. Proximity: Objects in current room before other locations
  3. Task Relevance: Objects matching secondary task criteria (e.g., "easy to transport")

Step 4: Generate Action Plan

For each high-priority candidate:

  1. Note its exact name as it appears in observations
  2. Determine if pick up, focus on, or other preliminary action is needed
  3. Plan path to target location if specified in task

Key Considerations

  • Exact Object Names: Use the exact phrasing from observations (e.g., "turtle egg" not "egg turtle")
  • Container States: All containers are open per environment rules
  • Teleportation: You can instantly move between rooms when searching
  • Multiple Matches: If multiple objects match, select based on task context (e.g., choose less mobile items for transport tasks)

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.
