Performs an initial survey of a room to identify all visible objects, containers, devices, and their states using the 'look around' action. Use this skill when you first enter a new location, need to refresh your understanding of the environment, or must identify available resources before planning a sequence of actions. Returns a detailed observation that serves as foundational context for subsequent tasks.

When to use

• Use this skill to establish a foundational understanding of your immediate environment. It is the critical first step for any task requiring object interaction, inventory assessment, or spatial reasoning.
• **Upon entering a new room.**
• When the task requires identifying available resources.
• Before planning a complex sequence of actions (e.g., building a circuit, mixing chemicals).
• If the state of the environment may have changed (e.g., after using an object, or if a long time has passed).

When not to use

• examining specific objects in detail
• using examine OBJ action
• using look at OBJ action
