You Live More Than Once: Towards Hierarchical Skill Meta-Evolving
arXiv:2605. 28390v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Test-time skill evolving is regarded as a new paradigm for enhancing deployed agentic systems.
SkillOpt: Agent skills as trainable parameters
AI agents often fail because their instructions, or skills, are manually modified with no guarantee of improvement. Learn how SkillOpt turns skill editing into a training process, making agent behavior more reliable without changing model weights.

AIP: A Graph Representation for Learning and Governing Agent Skills
Agent Skills today consist largely of free-form prose requiring the agent to read, interpret, and re-derive how to act in every session. This imposes two compounding costs: reduced reliability on implementation-heavy tasks, and difficulty in skill creation and improvement, since editing prose is a fragile process that both humans and agents struggle with, particularly for domain-specific procedural knowledge underrepresented in model training.
