SCAFFOLD is a self‑improving framework for visual web agents that automatically induces parametric, executable skills from successful trajectories and organizes them into a recursively composed hierarchy. It compresses the skill library using a minimum‑description‑length criterion and behavioral equivalence checks, and periodically distills these skills back into model weights to internalize the abstractions. Experiments on WebArena, VisualWebArena, and Online‑Mind2Web show that SCAFFOLD raises success rates by 11.1–17.2 absolute points over the best skill‑augmented baseline and continues to improve across five self‑improvement iterations without collapsing the library.

SkillGLoW introduces a new way for large language model agents to self‑improve by consolidating procedural skills shared across related tasks. Instead of storing all skills in a single global document or a flat per‑task pool, SkillGLoW aggregates local skills into procedural families, compresses them into de‑instantiated global priors, and regenerates instance‑specific details on demand. Experiments on four diverse benchmarks show that these priors improve performance by an average of 17.2 points over a no‑skill baseline, are more compact than per‑task pools, and enable better transfer to unseen tasks.

The paper introduces EvoSkill-GUI, a training‑free framework that enables GUI agents to evolve their skills during deployment. Each skill is packaged with metadata, executable plans, and recovery rules, and the system follows a reflect‑revise‑reuse loop where the agent instantly revises skills based on execution feedback. Experiments on MobileWorld, AndroidWorld, and OSWorld show consistent performance gains up to +16.2% without any additional training.
