scienceworld-task-focuser

separate

Use when the agent needs to direct attention to a specific object in the environment or inventory before performing a critical action such as measuring, using, or connecting. This preparatory "focus on" step signals intent to the ScienceWorld system, often unlocking required state changes for subsequent interactive steps in experimental procedures.

When to use

• Formally declare intent to interact with a specific object in the ScienceWorld environment. The `focus on` action is a required preparatory step that signals to the system which object subsequent actions (`use`, `measure`, `connect`) will…
• Before using a measurement tool (e.g., thermometer) on a target object
• Before complex operations such as connecting, mixing, or combining objects
• When a task description explicitly instructs "focus on" an object
• To confirm the correct item is in inventory before proceeding with an action

When not to use

• Performing the main action such as measuring
• Physical effects on the object
