soil-extraction

Uses a shovel tool to dig soil from the ground in outdoor environments. Execute this skill when you need to obtain soil for planting tasks and have both the shovel in inventory and access to an appropriate digging location. The skill produces soil that can then be collected and transported.

Installation

Install the Soil Extraction 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/scienceworld/soil-extraction
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Soil Extraction 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 Soil Extraction 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 Soil Extraction 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.

Skill: Soil Extraction

Purpose

This skill enables the agent to extract soil from the ground using a shovel. It is a foundational step for planting tasks, transforming a bare outdoor location into a source of usable soil.

Prerequisites

Tool in Inventory: You must possess a shovel in your inventory.
Location: You must be in an outdoor environment (e.g., outside) where digging is permissible.
Ground Access: The ground must be accessible and diggable.

Core Procedure

Navigate: Ensure you are in the target outdoor location (e.g., teleport to outside).
Execute Dig: Use the command use shovel in inventory on ground.
Collect Output: The action will produce soil placed nearby. Use pick up soil to add it to your inventory.

Key Notes

Deterministic Action: The use shovel in inventory on ground command is a reliable, single-step method for soil extraction as demonstrated in the trajectory.
Output Management: The extracted soil is a separate object that must be explicitly picked up. It does not automatically enter your inventory.
Skill Chaining: This skill is typically followed by teleport to transport the soil and move to deposit it into a target container (e.g., a flower pot).

Error Handling & Ambiguity

If the use command is ambiguous, select the action that clearly involves your inventory shovel and the ground.
If no soil appears after digging, verify your location and that the shovel is correctly in your inventory.
This skill does not handle soil preparation (e.g., mixing with water) or planting. It is strictly for extraction.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Soil Extraction AI skill do?

Why use Soil Extraction on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Soil Extraction 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 Soil Extraction in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/zjunlp/SkillNet/tree/main/experiments/src/skills/scienceworld/soil-extraction. 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 Soil Extraction?

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 Soil Extraction?

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

Is the Soil Extraction 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.
