Enrich-Retrieve-Rank: Scaling Capability Discovery Beyond In-Context Routing

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces Enrich‑Retrieve‑Rank, a scalable method for discovering capabilities in large agent ecosystems. It replaces in‑context routing with an offline enrichment step that converts sparse metadata into searchable profiles, followed by an online retrieve‑then‑rank pipeline that returns a ranked shortlist without invoking candidates. Experiments show that as the number of capabilities grows from 10 to 7,278, the new approach maintains higher top‑1 accuracy and reduces cost by 70× compared to full‑context baselines.

TRACE: Trajectory Selection for Parallel Scaling of Search Agents

TRACE is a lightweight learned selector that ranks completed search trajectories by aggregating cross‑rollout evidence, preserving individual query and evidence occurrences while propagating information across shared content or document identity. Trained with answer‑level supervision over frozen text embeddings, TRACE selects an existing answer without additional search or autoregressive aggregation, and a single selector generalizes across rollout policies and agent backbones. Across six WebQA policies, six long‑horizon dataset‑backbone combinations, and multiple WebQA benchmarks, TRACE outperforms majority voting and generative aggregators, achieving higher accuracy and at least tenfold higher processing throughput.

SkillFlow: Scalable and Efficient Agent Skill Retrieval System

SkillFlow is an open, multi-stage retrieval system that helps AI agents selectively load relevant skills from a large library of community-contributed SKILL.md definitions. The pipeline uses dense retrieval, two rounds of cross-encoder reranking, and LLM-based selection to balance recall and precision. Evaluations on SkillsBench and Terminal-Bench show that SkillFlow improves performance when high-quality skills are available, but retrieval alone does not help if the corpus lacks executable skills for the target domain.
