Trace2Skill: Distill Trajectory-Local Lessons into Transferable Agent Skills

arXiv:2603. 25158v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on domain-specific skills, yet manually authoring such skills does not scale, and skills generated purely from parametric knowledge often miss critical operational pitfalls.

Trace2Tower: Transition-Aware EigenTrace Induction of Multi-Level Skills for LLM Agents

Trace2Tower is a transition‑aware EigenTrace framework that transforms raw execution traces of large language model agents into a robust skill hierarchy. By abstracting step‑level interactions into canonical events and constructing a unified graph based on semantic compatibility, transition dynamics, and outcome evidence, it isolates stable, success‑aligned behavioral modes through contrastive spectral decomposition. These modes populate a dynamic skill tower of action templates, procedural routines, and overarching task strategies, which are continuously refined via verifier‑guided feedback, achieving superior performance on ALFWorld and WebShop benchmarks.

SKILL-DISCO: Distilling and Compiling Agent Traces into Reusable Procedural Skills

Agents often repeatedly solve similar task instances from scratch, leading to unnecessary reasoning cost and long execution traces. Prior work has explored workflow reuse and executable skill induction, but it remains unclear which task scenarios admit procedural skills and how the shared procedural structure should be represented across successful traces.

Inducing Task Models from Computer-Use Traces

arXiv:2608. 20319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Naturalistic computer-use traces, passively recorded screenshots and mouse or keyboard actions, are a valuable resource for deriving symbolic, auditable, and reusable models of how everyday work is done.

Anything2Skill: Compiling External Knowledge into Reusable Skills for Agents

arXiv:2606. 09316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enables agents to access external knowledge at inference time, but it primarily retrieves fragmented declarative evidence, leaving agents to repeatedly infer task procedures from passages, manuals, examples, logs, or trajectories.
