arXiv:2607. 20999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent Skills package reusable procedural knowledge as external artifacts for frozen language-model agents, yet existing optimizers do not jointly resolve where a failure occurs in a workflow, which mechanism caused it, and how relevant knowledge from third-party Skills should be reused locally.

arXiv:2607. 06008v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While Large Language Model (LLM) agents excel at monolingual long-horizon planning and tool use, enterprise workflows inherently require processing multilingual resources across extended trajectories.

UniACE is a unified framework that standardizes the evaluation of large language model (LLM) agents by representing each benchmark as an instruction–tool–environment triplet and running models through a shared, task‑agnostic harness in isolated runtimes. It preserves native success criteria, offers an offline mode for dynamic‑resource tasks, and standardizes efficiency metrics, execution records, and failure attribution. Applying UniACE to 7 benchmarks across 24 domains and 15 models revealed significant score shifts, ranking reversals, and sensitivity to evidence representation, highlighting the impact of evaluation configuration on reported agent performance.

arXiv:2607. 06411v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Developers increasingly delegate real maintenance work to product-grade coding agents, and many state tasks in their native language, in the style of a customer request rather than a curated English issue.

arXiv:2608. 10039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic workflows have become an important abstraction for building reliable LLM-based automation systems by organizing large language models (LLMs), tools, and control logic into explicit execution structures.

LongWoF-Bench is a new benchmark of 778 machine‑verifiable long‑workflow tasks spanning code generation, agent‑environment synthesis, mathematical reasoning, and rule following. The study shows that EvoMap Genes—structured representations of verifier‑confirmed execution trajectories—outperform the Skill baseline by 8.7–15.5 percentage points across seven models, and for Claude Opus they enable 39 additional task completions while cutting token consumption by 9.9%. The results demonstrate that verified execution experience can be externalized and reused, improving long‑workflow completion without repeatedly discovering new strategies.
