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

1. Locate Items: Ensure you are in the room containing the target substance and the cooling appliance. Use look around if necessary.
2. 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").

1. 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 open action.
• 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."
