arXiv:2608. 14943v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent skills are often injected in full on every request, increasing token cost.

SkillFlow is an open, multi-stage retrieval system that helps AI agents selectively load relevant skills from a large library of community-contributed SKILL.md definitions. The pipeline uses dense retrieval, two rounds of cross-encoder reranking, and LLM-based selection to balance recall and precision. Evaluations on SkillsBench and Terminal-Bench show that SkillFlow improves performance when high-quality skills are available, but retrieval alone does not help if the corpus lacks executable skills for the target domain.
arXiv:2606. 11543v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent Skills augment large language model (LLM) agents with procedural knowledge at inference time, but current benchmarks rarely distinguish what a Skill says from how it is organized.
arXiv:2605. 24050v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Skill libraries allow LLM agents to load task-specific instructions on demand, letting non-expert users solve domain-specific tasks through natural language without knowing which skills exist or how they work.
Agent Skills augment large language model (LLM) agents with procedural knowledge at inference time, but current benchmarks rarely distinguish what a Skill says from how it is organized. We study this distinction through Progressive Disclosure, where a concise root file points agents to supporting resources on demand, and compare it with a normalized flat baseline.

arXiv:2607. 09711v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing agent benchmarks primarily test task completion, tool use, or skill utility, but do not isolate whether a runtime can convert evidence from its own runs into reusable skills that improve fresh executions after authoring overhead.
arXiv:2606. 16769v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent skills are commonly distributed as SKILL.
arXiv:2606. 04391v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language agents increasingly rely on reusable skills to improve multi-step web automation across related tasks.
arXiv:2607. 07504v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Product data scientists often ask LLM-based agents to help with recurring execution tasks such as cleaning data, writing SQL, choosing statistical tests, and formatting results.
arXiv:2606. 17645v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) web agents are usually deployed as tool callers: each turn, the model reads a fresh page observation and emits one structured tool action.
Repo-To-Skill: Distilling GitHub Repositories Into AI4AI Skills introduces DisCo, a research agent that extracts and verifies operational knowledge from GitHub repositories to create reusable AI skills. The agent produces both task‑agnostic skills—compiled into the AREX‑Skill Library of over 5,000 verified skills from 1,000 repositories—and task‑oriented skills tailored to specific research tasks. When equipped with these skills, the agent achieves significant performance gains across multiple benchmarks, outperforming a skill‑free version by 134.3% on MLE‑bench, 34.4% on PaperBench, 9.2% on FrontierCS, and 14.0% on PassNet.
