Material Classification Skill

When to Use

Activate this skill when:

1. •Direct experimental testing of a material property (conductivity, magnetism, etc.) fails due to invalid actions or unavailable equipment.
2. •You need to make a logical inference based on observed properties or domain knowledge.
3. •A final disposition decision (e.g., placing in specific container) is required.

Core Logic

1. •Identify Material: Focus on the target object and note its composition (e.g., "glass jar").
2. •Attempt Direct Testing: First try standard experimental actions if equipment exists (e.g., connecting to circuit).
3. •Fallback to Inference: When direct testing fails:
   • •Consult material properties in references/material_properties.md
   • •Use common-sense reasoning (e.g., glass is typically nonconductive)
   • •Consider observed contents (e.g., sodium chloride is conductive but container material dominates)
4. •Execute Disposition: Place the object in the appropriate container based on classification.

Critical Notes

• •Glass containers are generally electrical insulators regardless of contents
• •Metal objects are typically conductive unless specified otherwise
• •When in doubt, use the most common material property from domain knowledge
• •Always verify the target object is properly identified before classification
