Skill++: Towards Lifelong Agents via Routing-Aware Skill Refinement

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

Skill++ addresses lifelong skill routing for large language model agents by rewriting the name and description of each new skill instead of retraining the router. This approach preserves earlier skills while allowing new ones to be selected, achieving 76.3% query success versus 36.4% with original metadata across a library of 731 skills. It outperforms existing methods on three benchmarks and five LLM routers, and its benefits transfer to the Codex CLI agent harness.

SkillLens: Adaptive Multi-Granularity Skill Reuse for Cost-Efficient LLM Agents

SkillLens introduces a hierarchical skill-evolution framework that organizes skills into a four-layer graph of policies, strategies, procedures, and primitives, allowing retrieval at mixed granularity. The system first retrieves semantically relevant skill seeds, expands them via a degree‑corrected random walk, and uses a verifier to decide whether to accept, decompose, rewrite, or skip each visited unit. This approach enables agents to reuse compatible subskills while locally adapting mismatched components, and theoretical analysis shows sublinear cost under sparse mismatch assumptions, with empirical results on MuLocbench and ALFWorld demonstrating consistent improvements over strong baselines.
