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.

The paper introduces SkillPivot, a framework that guides large language model agents to evolve their skills by pinpointing the exact moment a useful problem‑solving sequence turns into an erroneous suffix. SkillPivot uses execution validity, goal progress, and action diversity to detect this deviation point, then employs a stronger teacher to generate a successful alternative from the same prefix. By contrasting the failed and successful suffixes, the method produces localized, compact skill updates that preserve existing effective guidance, outperforming other skill‑evolution techniques on benchmarks such as ToolQA, LogicBench, and WildClawBench.

Darwin‑Claw is a new framework for large language model agents that enables environment‑adaptive, self‑evolving behavior. It systematically distills episodic experiences into prototype vectors through a hierarchical experience consolidation system, providing context‑sensitive perception patches and explicit optimization signals for skill refinement. The method is deployable with mainstream agent systems and, according to experiments on WildClawBench, delivers significant performance gains while maintaining controllability and stability.

The paper introduces SkillPivot, a framework that guides large language model agents to improve their natural-language skills by focusing on the point where a successful solution path deviates into an error. SkillPivot identifies this transition using execution validity, goal progress, and action diversity, then employs a stronger teacher to generate a successful alternative from the same prefix. By contrasting the failed and successful suffixes, the method produces localized, compact skill updates that preserve existing effective guidance and outperform other skill-evolution approaches on multiple benchmarks.
