Skill: Tool Locator

Purpose

Search for a specified tool or device in an ALFWorld household environment by systematically checking relevant receptacles.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

  1. You have identified a need for a specific tool (e.g., "desklamp", "knife", "sponge") to complete a task.
  2. The tool is not currently in your inventory or immediate vicinity.
  3. You need to locate the tool before proceeding with the main task.

Input (Implicit)

  • Tool Name: The name of the tool/​device to locate (e.g., "desklamp", "book", "remotecontrol").

Core Logic

  1. Identify Search Targets: Based on the tool type, prioritize likely storage locations:

    • For small tools/​electronics: sidetable, drawer, shelf
    • For kitchen tools: countertop, cabinet, fridge
    • For cleaning tools: shelf, cabinet, garbagecan
    • Default: Check all visible receptacles in order
  2. Systematic Search Pattern:

    • Navigate to each prioritized receptacle
    • Observe what's on/​in the receptacle
    • If tool is found, stop searching and proceed to use it
    • If not found, continue to next receptacle
  3. Error Handling:

    • If "Nothing happened" is observed, try alternative actions
    • If tool not found after checking all likely spots, expand search to all receptacles

Output Format

Follow the ALFWorld action format:
