Instructions
Purpose
Use this skill to establish a foundational understanding of your immediate environment. It is the critical first step for any task requiring object interaction, inventory assessment, or spatial reasoning.
When to Use
- •Upon entering a new room.
- •When the task requires identifying available resources.
- •Before planning a complex sequence of actions (e.g., building a circuit, mixing chemicals).
- •If the state of the environment may have changed (e.g., after using an object, or if a long time has passed).
Core Action
Execute the look around action. This is the only action required for this skill.
Output Processing
- •The observation returned by
look aroundis your primary output. - •Parse this observation to create a mental inventory. Key elements to note:
- •Room Name: The identified location.
- •Objects: List all items, containers, and devices.
- •Object States: Note if devices are on/off, containers are open/closed, or if objects contain other items.
- •Connections: Note any pre-existing wire connections or object placements.
- •Exits: Identify doors to other rooms and their state (open/closed).
Integration with Other Skills
The observation generated by this skill is essential context for downstream tasks. Before performing actions like pick up, connect, or use, always ensure your understanding of object locations and states is current by running this skill if needed.
Do not use this skill for examining specific objects in detail; use the examine OBJ or look at OBJ actions for that purpose.
