From Learner Behavior to Reusable Skills for Effective and Efficient Learner Simulation

The paper introduces Learner2Skill, a method that transforms historical learner interactions into a reusable Simulation Skill. This Skill encapsulates a learner’s current state and recurring response patterns, allowing it to evolve with new interactions and be adapted to different LLMs without reconstructing the learner from scratch. Experiments demonstrate that Learner2Skill more accurately reproduces fine‑grained learner behavior while reducing token costs and enabling cross‑LLM reuse.

SKILLER: Language-Level Reinforcement Learning for Reusable Skill Extraction in Small Language Models

Agent skills represent a standardized format for packaging procedural knowledge and domain expertise, serving within agent harness systems as an essential mechanism to continually constrain a language model's behavior space for repeatable, high-quality task execution. However, because strong closed-source models entail high inference costs, current popular agent harnesses, such as Codex and OpenClaw, remain prohibitively expensive when deploying these skills to accomplish real-world tasks.

Rep2Skill: Representation-Guided Skill Self-Evolution for LLM Agents

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.

REGEN: Replay-recycling for Expert-to-Generalist distillation with Offline Reinforcement Learning

Large-scale online reinforcement learning (RL) is the predominant means of eliciting advanced abilities including long-term reasoning and agentic tool use in large language models (LLMs). However, continuing to scale it across vast task domains of interest remains challenging in both computational infrastructure and cost, especially when considering RL as merely a one-off learning stage.
