SkillPyramid: A Hierarchical Skill Consolidation Framework for Self-Evolving Agents

arXiv:2606. 03692v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent AI agents can flexibly invoke skills to solve complex tasks, but their long-term improvement is fundamentally constrained by a lack of systematic skill construction, accumulation, and transfer.

SkillNet: Create, Evaluate, and Connect AI Skills

SkillNet is an open infrastructure that enables the creation, evaluation, and organization of AI skills at scale. It structures skills within a unified ontology, supports multi‑dimensional evaluation (Safety, Completeness, Executability, Maintainability, Cost‑awareness), and integrates a repository of over 600,000 skills, an interactive platform, and a Python toolkit. Experiments on ALFWorld, WebShop, and ScienceWorld demonstrate a 40% increase in average rewards and a 30% reduction in execution steps across multiple backbone models.

SkillRise: Agentic Reinforcement Learning for Cross-Task Skill Evolution

Large language model agents often encounter related yet distinct tasks that share reusable solution patterns. Yet standard agentic reinforcement learning treats tasks as independent episodes, while existing approaches to skill learning either focus on repeated attempts of one task or use pipelines with multiple stages that entangle extraction, retrieval, and execution.

CODESKILL: Learning Self-Evolving Skills for Coding Agents

CODESKILL is an LLM-based framework that learns to extract, evolve, and maintain procedural skills from coding-agent trajectories. It treats skill extraction and skill-bank management as a learnable policy trained with reinforcement learning, using a hybrid reward combining rubric-based skill quality and verifiable execution feedback. Experiments on EnvBench, SWE-Bench Verified, and Terminal-Bench 2 demonstrate that CODESKILL raises average pass rates by 11.03 over a no-skill baseline and by 5.10 over the strongest prompt-based or memory baseline while keeping a compact skill bank.
