name: alfworld-inventory-management description: This skill tracks which objects have been collected and which remain to be found for multi-object tasks. It should be triggered when working with tasks requiring multiple instances of the same object type. The skill maintains a count of collected vs. needed objects and guides the search for remaining items.

Inventory Management Skill

When to Use

Activate this skill when:

• Task requires collecting multiple instances of the same object type (e.g., "put two cellphone in bed")
• You need to track progress toward a quantity-based goal
• Searching through multiple locations systematically

Core Workflow

1. Initialize Inventory

• Parse the task description to identify:
  • Target object type (e.g., "cellphone")
  • Required quantity (e.g., "two")
• Initialize counters: collected = 0, needed = <quantity>
• Create empty list for searched locations

2. Systematic Search Pattern

Follow this search priority:

1. Visible surfaces (desks, dressers, beds) - check first
2. Closed containers (drawers, cabinets) - open and inspect
3. Return to known locations if inventory incomplete

Critical Rule: After finding an object, immediately place it at the target location before searching for the next one.

3. Action Decision Logic
