1# Inventory Management Skill
2 
3## When to Use
4Activate this skill when:
5- Task requires collecting **multiple instances** of the same object type (e.g., "put two cellphone in bed")
6- You need to track progress toward a quantity-based goal
7- Searching through multiple locations systematically
8 
9## Core Workflow
10 
11### 1. Initialize Inventory
12- Parse the task description to identify:
13  - **Target object type** (e.g., "cellphone")
14  - **Required quantity** (e.g., "two" = 2)
15  - **Target receptacle** (e.g., "bed 1")
16- Initialize counters: `collected = 0`, `needed = <quantity>`
17- Create empty list for searched locations
18 
19### 2. Systematic Search Pattern
20Follow this search priority:
211. **Visible surfaces** (desks, dressers, beds, countertops) - check first
222. **Closed containers** (drawers, cabinets, safes) - open and inspect
233. **Less common locations** (shelves, side tables, garbage cans)
244. **Return to known locations** if inventory incomplete
25 
26**Critical Rule:** After finding an object, immediately place it at the target location before searching for the next one. Do not attempt to carry multiple objects simultaneously.

28### 3. Action Decision Logic
29Use this decision tree at each step:
30 
31```
32Is target object visible in current observation?
33├── YES → Take it, go to target receptacle, put it down
34│         └── Increment collected counter
35│             ├── collected == needed → TASK COMPLETE
36│             └── collected < needed → Continue searching
