The paper introduces Consistent Plan-Act (ConPAct), a method that addresses coordination failures between high-level planners and low-level actors in long-horizon agentic tasks. By prompting both agents to produce structured state assertions and programmatically detecting contradictions, the authors identify a systematic planner-actor state mismatch. ConPAct feeds these detected contradictions back to both agents, fine‑tunes them on consistent interactions, and achieves notable performance gains, such as raising MiniGrid success rates from 38.6% to 54.4% with GPT‑5.6‑sol/terra.

The paper introduces the Agent-Editing World Model (AEWM), a new approach that models how reasoning and actions influence future task progress instead of simulating tool responses. AEWM includes an Action Judge that classifies decisions as Critical, Exploratory, or Noisy, and a State Revision mechanism that edits noisy reasoning–action continuations from the same observed history. The integrated system, EditAct, directly updates the underlying state during real execution, leading to significant performance gains across multiple benchmarks and agent backbones.
