LongWoF-Bench: Evaluating EvoMap Genes for Verifiable Long-Workflow Tasks

LongWoF-Bench is a new benchmark of 778 machine‑verifiable long‑workflow tasks spanning code generation, agent‑environment synthesis, mathematical reasoning, and rule following. The study shows that EvoMap Genes—structured representations of verifier‑confirmed execution trajectories—outperform the Skill baseline by 8.7–15.5 percentage points across seven models, and for Claude Opus they enable 39 additional task completions while cutting token consumption by 9.9%. The results demonstrate that verified execution experience can be externalized and reused, improving long‑workflow completion without repeatedly discovering new strategies.

Evolver: Turning Agent Exploration into Evolving Capabilities

Evolver is an experience-driven framework that converts agent exploration into persistent, reusable capabilities without updating foundation model parameters. It uses structured Gene assets to acquire, retrieve, and evolve experience, enabling experience-conditioned execution across existing agent harnesses. In evaluations with Claude Code and Codex on several benchmarks, Evolver increased task success from 83.13% to 87.50% and reduced token consumption by up to 24.24%, showing both effectiveness and efficiency gains.

From Interaction Traces to Persistent Skills: Online Evolution for Computer-Use Agents

The paper introduces an online skill‑evolution framework that transforms interaction traces and evaluator feedback into a persistent, versioned library of reusable procedures for computer‑use agents. By executing each iteration against a frozen library snapshot, the system updates skills without altering the underlying model parameters. Experiments across four OSWorld domains show that the evolving library consistently outperforms an empty‑library baseline, with gains ranging from 5.7 to 18.6 percentage points, while also revealing domain‑specific temporal stability and challenges in skill retrieval and revision.
