arXiv:2606. 17819v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent skills -- structured, reusable knowledge artifacts that augment LLM agent capabilities -- have been rapidly adopted in industry, yet their cross-domain impact and use across commercial and open-source models remain under-studied, and no reusable methodology exists for evaluating an individual skill.

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:2606. 16774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Equipping Large Language Model (LLM) agents with effective skills is crucial for solving complex tasks in real-world systems like OpenClaw.

WikiSkill is a framework that separates raw execution experience, accumulated knowledge, and executable skills, continuously consolidating experience into a persistent knowledge base (wiki). By co‑evolving agent skills with this wiki, the method consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art skill‑evolution techniques across diverse benchmarks and models. The study shows that larger models benefit more from evolved skills, smaller models can outperform larger ones when equipped with skills, and that skills transfer effectively across model families, with the wiki’s persistent knowledge being critical for success.

arXiv:2605. 18401v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents generate traces that could become reusable experience, but raw trajectories are noisy, local, and hard to govern.

SkillGym is an automatic pipeline that generates verifiable environments for training skill-use agents. It crawls internet skills, filters for reproducible workflows, and uses a builder‑reviewer process to create difficulty‑controlled tasks with reference solutions and verifiers. The system builds 6.8k environments, collects 19k successful trajectories, and fine‑tunes LLMs from 2B to 122B parameters, improving performance and skill invocation rates.
