Skill: Object Retriever

Purpose

Acquire a target object from the environment and place it into your inventory for further use.

When to Use

• You need an object for testing, measuring, or transporting.
• The object is visible in the room but not yet in your inventory.
• A downstream skill (e.g., tool-user, object-placer) requires the object in inventory.

Core Workflow

1. Navigate: teleport to LOC if needed to reach the room containing the object.
2. Survey: look around to confirm the object is present and identify its exact name.
3. Acquire: pick up OBJ using the exact name from the environment description.
4. Verify: Check the observation feedback confirms "You move the [object] to the inventory."

Example

Task: Retrieve a metal fork from the kitchen for conductivity testing.

1. teleport to kitchen
2. look around — see "a metal fork" on the counter
3. pick up metal fork
4. Observation: "You move the metal fork to the inventory."

Important Notes

• Ensure you are in the correct room before attempting pick up. Use teleport to LOC if necessary.
• If look around does not reveal the object, use examine on containers or furniture (e.g., examine table).
• If a container is closed, use open OBJ first.
• After acquisition, the object is ready for the next skill in the task sequence.
