Skill: Substance Cooler
Purpose
Use this skill to begin the process of cooling a substance to potentially observe a phase change (e.g., freezing). The core action is to relocate the substance into a cooling appliance.
When to Use
- •The task explicitly requires cooling a substance (e.g., "measure the melting point of mercury").
- •You have identified both the target substance (often inside a container like a cup or jar) and a suitable cooling appliance (e.g., freezer, ultra low temperature freezer).
- •The immediate goal is to lower the substance's temperature.
Core Instruction
- •Locate Items: Ensure you are in the room containing the target substance and the cooling appliance. Use
look aroundif necessary. - •Execute Move: Perform the action
move <SUBSTANCE_CONTAINER> to <APPLIANCE>.- •
<SUBSTANCE_CONTAINER>: The object holding the substance (e.g., "glass cup (containing a substance called mercury)"). - •
<APPLIANCE>: The cooling device (e.g., "freezer").
- •
- •Verify: Use
look at <APPLIANCE>to confirm the substance is now inside the appliance. Report this confirmation.
Important Notes
- •Prerequisite: The appliance door must be open. The trajectory shows all containers are already open, so this should not require a separate
openaction. - •This is an Initialization Skill: This skill only starts the cooling process. Subsequent skills or actions (like
use thermometer on <SUBSTANCE>) are required to monitor temperature changes and observe the phase transition. - •Inputs: The skill requires the names of the substance container and the target appliance as identified in the environment observations.
- •Output: A confirmation observation stating the substance is now inside the appliance.
Example from Trajectory
Trigger: Task requires measuring the melting point of mercury.
Action: move glass cup (containing a substance called mercury) to freezer
Verification: look at freezer yields "In the freezer is: a glass cup (containing a substance called mercury)."
Output: "The mercury in its glass cup has been placed into the freezer to begin cooling."
