Autonomous AI agents can execute complex tasks with limited human review, yet they often lack the grounded operational knowledge to make their outputs not just executable but correct, secure, and maintainable. We introduce SkillCenter, to our knowledge the largest open skill library for agents by total count: 216,938 structured skills across 24 domain bundles.
Repo-To-Skill: Distilling GitHub Repositories Into AI4AI Skills introduces DisCo, a research agent that extracts and verifies operational knowledge from GitHub repositories to create reusable AI skills. The agent produces both task‑agnostic skills—compiled into the AREX‑Skill Library of over 5,000 verified skills from 1,000 repositories—and task‑oriented skills tailored to specific research tasks. When equipped with these skills, the agent achieves significant performance gains across multiple benchmarks, outperforming a skill‑free version by 134.3% on MLE‑bench, 34.4% on PaperBench, 9.2% on FrontierCS, and 14.0% on PassNet.
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.
The paper introduces Repo-To-Skill, a method for converting GitHub repositories into reusable AI skills. By distilling operational knowledge from over 1,000 machine‑learning repositories, the authors build the AREX‑Skill Library with more than 5,000 verified skills across 20 areas. Integrating these skills into a research agent—DisCo—yields significant performance boosts on multiple benchmarks, demonstrating the value of reusable, task‑agnostic knowledge.
Agent skills are reusable procedural artifacts that extend language agents with specialized workflows, tool conventions, and domain behaviors at inference time. However, creating reliable skills still...
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.

SkillNet is an open infrastructure that enables the creation, evaluation, and organization of AI skills at scale. It structures skills within a unified ontology, supports multi‑dimensional evaluation (Safety, Completeness, Executability, Maintainability, Cost‑awareness), and integrates a repository of over 600,000 skills, an interactive platform, and a Python toolkit. Experiments on ALFWorld, WebShop, and ScienceWorld demonstrate a 40% increase in average rewards and a 30% reduction in execution steps across multiple backbone models.
