SkillEvoReg: Regularizing Agent Skill Evolution Against Overfitting

SkillEvoReg is a regularization framework designed to mitigate overfitting in language-model agents that evolve reusable external skills. It combines training-time skill dropout, complexity-aware local regularization, and causal counterexample validation to control skill-state growth and detect regressions. Applied across SkillOpt, SkillEvolBench, and ContinualSkillBench, it preserves downstream performance while improving transfer and later-stage evolution outcomes.
