Skill: Container Transfer

Purpose

Transfer a target substance or object from a source container to a destination container. This is a foundational step for preparing materials for heating, mixing, or measurement.

Core Workflow

1. Assess Need: Determine if the current container is unsuitable for the next operation (e.g., tin cup is not heat-resistant for a furnace).
2. Locate Items: Use look around and look at OBJ to find the target substance and a suitable destination container.
3. Execute Transfer: move <SUBSTANCE> to <DESTINATION>.
4. Verify: look at <DESTINATION> to confirm the substance is now inside.

Key Actions

| Action | Purpose |

|--------|---------|

| look around | Survey room for containers and substances |

| look at OBJ | Inspect container contents |

| move OBJ to OBJ | Transfer substance to destination |

Example

Task: Transfer lead from a tin cup to a heat-resistant metal pot for furnace heating.

1. look around — spot tin cup (containing lead) and metal pot
2. move lead to metal pot
3. look at metal pot — confirms: "a metal pot (containing a substance called lead)"

Important Notes

• All containers are pre-opened. Do not use open or close actions.
• Choose the destination container based on properties needed for the next step (e.g., heat resistance for furnace use).
• If the transfer fails ("You can't do that"), verify object names with look around and ensure the destination is accessible.
