Modern agent frameworks equip large language models with external skill libraries to solve complex tasks. However, it remains unclear whether these systems can effectively evolve their skills and whether the resulting skills improve task-solving capabilities.

arXiv:2608. 15165v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can continually improve without parameter updates by converting historical experience into reusable procedural knowledge.
arXiv:2605. 04970v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern LLMs show mastery over an ever-growing range of skills, as well as the ability to compose them flexibly.
SkillEvoReg is a regularization framework designed to mitigate overfitting in language-model agents that evolve reusable external skills. It combines training-time skill dropout, complexity-aware local regularization, and causal counterexample validation to control skill-state growth and detect regressions. Applied across SkillOpt, SkillEvolBench, and ContinualSkillBench, it preserves downstream performance while improving transfer and later-stage evolution outcomes.

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.
arXiv:2607. 01874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Skills are becoming a reusable operational layer for LLM agents, encoding SOPs, domain rules, tool workflows, scripts, and validation routines.
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.
