arXiv:2605. 16986v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Additional test-time compute can give LLM agents access to more past experience, yet expanding the context or adding rollouts does not necessarily yield greater agent capability.

SkillSpec is a two‑phase framework for evolving natural‑language skills in large language model agents. The first phase, consensus‑gated evolution, generates candidate skills from complementary editing intents and commits updates only when paired evaluations reach consensus on overall improvement and non‑negative aggregate gain. The second phase, representation specialization, uses signals from the optimization trajectory to choose an appropriate flat, graph, or hybrid structure for the skill, improving success rates by an average of 6.89% over SkillOpt across six benchmarks and three target language models.

Rep2Skill introduces a representation-guided framework that enables large language model agents to self-evolve their textual skills by analyzing internal representation trajectories from agent rollouts. The method identifies execution turns that deviate from successful dynamics and uses these signals, together with execution contexts, as actionable feedback for targeted skill revision. Experiments with two open-source LLMs across two agent environments demonstrate that Rep2Skill consistently outperforms purely text-based approaches, showing that incorporating internal representations can enhance agent self-improvement.

The paper introduces Strategy Accumulation and Guided Execution (SAGE), a two-stage framework that makes automated fine-tuning of large language models cumulative. In the first stage, a multi-agent pipeline uses Monte Carlo Tree Search to explore training strategies while a Distillation Agent records task-specific insights and cross-task confidence scores into a structured repository. In the second stage, SAGE retrieves relevant experience from this repository to guide training on new tasks, achieving a 12.4‑percentage‑point improvement over a baseline pipeline without accumulated experience on nine unseen tasks.
