arXiv:2608. 04968v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The capabilities of an LLM agent depend not only on its model but on the harness: the executable program that constructs context, invokes tools, verifies results, and recovers from failure.

arXiv:2607. 19592v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving AI systems typically treat the agent as the object that improves, by optimizing prompts, workflows, harnesses, or even the agent's own code.

The paper introduces Procedural Graphs, a framework that structures procedural knowledge for large language model agents as (procedure, relation, procedure) triplets, analogous to knowledge graphs for factual data. At each decision point, a guidance model uses the local subgraph to bias the agent’s next action, while an LLM refiner self‑evolves the graph by comparing failed and successful trajectories, editing its topology to improve performance. Experiments across various datasets, tasks, and LLMs show that Procedural Graphs consistently outperform memory‑based baselines, and the self‑evolution mechanism further enhances results without manual engineering.

The paper introduces the Procedural Graph, a framework that structures procedural knowledge into (procedure, relation, procedure) triplets to guide large language model agents in planning and tool usage. At each decision point, a guidance model uses the local subgraph to bias the agent’s next action, while an LLM refiner self‑evolves the graph by editing its topology based on successful versus failed trajectories. Experiments across datasets and LLMs show that Procedural Graphs consistently outperform memory‑based baselines, and the self‑evolution mechanism further improves performance without manual engineering.
