EvoClawBench: Can Agents Learn Reusable Skills from Their Own Runs?

arXiv:2607. 09711v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing agent benchmarks primarily test task completion, tool use, or skill utility, but do not isolate whether a runtime can convert evidence from its own runs into reusable skills that improve fresh executions after authoring overhead.

Reflect, Revise, Reuse: Training-Free Skill Evolution for GUI Agents

The paper introduces EvoSkill-GUI, a training‑free framework that enables GUI agents to evolve their skills during deployment. Each skill is packaged with metadata, executable plans, and recovery rules, and the system follows a reflect‑revise‑reuse loop where the agent instantly revises skills based on execution feedback. Experiments on MobileWorld, AndroidWorld, and OSWorld show consistent performance gains up to +16.2% without any additional training.

SkillGLoW: Procedural-Family Skill Consolidation for Self-Improving Agents on Long-Horizon Task Streams

SkillGLoW introduces a new way for large language model agents to self‑improve by consolidating procedural skills shared across related tasks. Instead of storing all skills in a single global document or a flat per‑task pool, SkillGLoW aggregates local skills into procedural families, compresses them into de‑instantiated global priors, and regenerates instance‑specific details on demand. Experiments on four diverse benchmarks show that these priors improve performance by an average of 17.2 points over a no‑skill baseline, are more compact than per‑task pools, and enable better transfer to unseen tasks.
