Text files such as skill files, memory files, and behavioral configuration files play a central role in defining how modern agents act. Through edits by humans or the agents themselves, these files may evolve over time, directly steering the agent's behavior in future interactions.
arXiv:2608. 15165v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can continually improve without parameter updates by converting historical experience into reusable procedural knowledge.

arXiv:2608. 14036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Skills have emerged as a practical and effective approach for enhancing LLM agents at inference time through structured packages of knowledge.
arXiv:2606. 01139v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent skills are procedural artifacts that enable LLM agents to execute workflows, verify constraints, and recover from failures.
SkillSpec is a two‑phase framework for evolving natural‑language skills in large language model agents. The first phase, consensus‑gated evolution, generates candidate skills from complementary editing intents and commits updates only when paired evaluations reach consensus on overall improvement and non‑negative aggregate gain. The second phase, representation specialization, uses signals from the optimization trajectory to choose an appropriate flat, graph, or hybrid structure for the skill, improving success rates by an average of 6.89% over SkillOpt across six benchmarks and three target language models.

arXiv:2608. 20274v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can induce skills from completed tasks and reuse them later to grow more capable with experience.
arXiv:2606. 16769v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent skills are commonly distributed as SKILL.
Rep2Skill introduces a representation-guided framework that enables large language model agents to self-evolve their textual skills by analyzing internal representation trajectories from agent rollouts. The method identifies execution turns that deviate from successful dynamics and uses these signals, together with execution contexts, as actionable feedback for targeted skill revision. Experiments with two open-source LLMs across two agent environments demonstrate that Rep2Skill consistently outperforms purely text-based approaches, showing that incorporating internal representations can enhance agent self-improvement.
