Scentience Skills
Agent skill definitions for olfaction-aware AI — part of the Scentience open olfaction platform. Built to the agentskills.io open standard; compatible with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Google Antigravity.
Skill Registry
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
| ble-device | Connect to Reconnaisscent or Scentinel via BLE; sample or stream raw sensor readings |
| olfactory-navigation | Plume contact classification and chemical source localization |
| olfactory-inertial-odometry | GPS-denied position estimation by fusing olfaction signals with IMU |
| colip-embeddings | Cross-modal retrieval and semantic labeling via COLIP models |
Decision Guide
| Intent | Use |
|---|---|
| Connect to hardware, read sensor data | ble-device |
| I have live OPU readings — where should I go? | olfactory-navigation |
| Navigate without GPS using smell + motion | olfactory-inertial-odometry |
| Semantically label or match a smell episode | colip-embeddings |
| Classify a chemical compound from sensor data | colip-embeddings (ovl-classifier model) |
Typical Workflows
Real-time robotic navigation:
ble-device → olfactory-navigation → motor controller
GPS-denied localization:
ble-device → olfactory-inertial-odometry → path planner
Semantic labeling pipeline:
ble-device → colip-embeddings → natural language annotation
Full hybrid system:
ble-device → olfactory-navigation + olfactory-inertial-odometry + colip-embeddings
Design Principles
- Olfaction as first-class modality — chemical sensing receives the same structural rigor as vision or audio; no scalar collapsing of temporal signals
- Temporal fidelity — all skills preserve signal history, intermittency, and trend context across the full reading window
- Calibrated uncertainty — every output carries a
confidencefield; no skill returns conclusions without explicit bounds - Control ≠ semantics — navigation decisions (
olfactory-navigation,olfactory-inertial-odometry) and semantic interpretation (colip-embeddings) are deliberately separate skills with separate output schemas - SDK-grounded — all examples use the official Scentience SDK; no pseudocode
