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.

SkillBrowser: Selective Skill Exposure for Scalable Skill-Using Agents

SkillBrowser is a Meta‑Skill‑managed framework that allows large language model agents to identify their current capability needs, formulate targeted queries, and selectively load skills on demand. By providing relevant procedural content only when needed, it reduces context pollution and misaligned skill exposure that can disrupt reasoning. Experiments on six SRA‑Bench subsets and five LLMs show that SkillBrowser improves aggregate accuracy over static retrieval and LLM‑based selection, especially for multi‑step tool use, while mitigating accuracy degradation on already‑solvable instances.

Skill Retrieval Augmentation for Agentic AI

arXiv:2604. 24594v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) evolve into agentic problem solvers, they increasingly rely on external, reusable skills to handle tasks beyond their native parametric capabilities.
