alfworld-appliance-preparer

Prepares a household appliance (microwave, oven, toaster, fridge) for use by ensuring it is in the correct open/closed state. Use when the agent needs to heat, cool, or cook an item and must first open or close the appliance before placing an object inside. Takes an appliance identifier as input and outputs a confirmation that the appliance is ready for the next action.

Installation

Install the Alfworld Appliance Preparer AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/zjunlp/SkillNet/tree/main/experiments/src/skills/alfworld/alfworld-appliance-preparer
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zjunlp/SkillNet.git /tmp/SkillNet
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/SkillNet/experiments/src/skills/alfworld/alfworld-appliance-preparer .claude/skills/alfworld-appliance-preparer

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Alfworld Appliance Preparer in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Alfworld Appliance Preparer on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Alfworld Appliance Preparer is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Instructions

Goal

Prepare a specified household appliance for immediate use by ensuring it is in the correct open or closed state. This is a prerequisite step before performing actions like heat, cool, or toggle with the appliance.

Input

appliance_identifier: The name of the appliance to prepare (e.g., microwave 1, toaster 1, fridge 1).

Core Logic

Navigate to the Appliance: First, go to the location of the target appliance.
Check State & Prepare: Determine if the appliance needs to be opened or closed based on the intended subsequent action. The standard rule is:
- For appliances used to contain items for processing (e.g., microwave, oven, fridge), they typically need to be open to receive the item.
- Use the open {appliance} or close {appliance} action as needed.
Confirm Readiness: The skill is complete when the appliance is in the correct state, confirmed by an observation from the environment (e.g., "The microwave 1 is open.").

Important Considerations

State Awareness: Always observe the environment's feedback after each action (e.g., "The microwave 1 is closed."). Do not assume the state.
Error Handling: If the action fails (environment outputs "Nothing happened"), the appliance may already be in the desired state. Re-check the observation and proceed.
Trajectory Insight: Refer to the example in references/trajectory_example.md to see a practical application of this skill in the context of a larger task.

Example

Input: appliance_identifier: microwave 1

Sequence:

go to microwave 1 → Observation: "You are at microwave 1. The microwave 1 is closed."
open microwave 1 → Observation: "You open the microwave 1. The microwave 1 is open."

Output: "The microwave 1 is open and ready for use."

Output

A confirmation that the appliance is ready, typically in the form of the agent's Thought summarizing the prepared state and the environment's observation.

Bundled files

Frequently asked questions

What does the Alfworld Appliance Preparer AI skill do?

Why use Alfworld Appliance Preparer on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Alfworld Appliance Preparer is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Alfworld Appliance Preparer in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/zjunlp/SkillNet/tree/main/experiments/src/skills/alfworld/alfworld-appliance-preparer. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Alfworld Appliance Preparer?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Alfworld Appliance Preparer?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Alfworld Appliance Preparer with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Alfworld Appliance Preparer AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by zjunlp under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
