SkillCome introduces a skill-evolution framework that uses group contrast optimization and a dual memory system to refine large language model skills. By generating multiple trajectories per question and contrasting successful versus failed ones, it identifies key behavioral divergences to guide skill edits. The dual memory accumulates historical evidence across groups, enabling more generalized and reliable optimization signals, leading to consistent performance gains on diverse benchmarks.
SkillSpec is a two‑phase framework for evolving natural‑language skills in large language model agents. The first phase, consensus‑gated evolution, generates candidate skills from complementary editing intents and commits updates only when paired evaluations reach consensus on overall improvement and non‑negative aggregate gain. The second phase, representation specialization, uses signals from the optimization trajectory to choose an appropriate flat, graph, or hybrid structure for the skill, improving success rates by an average of 6.89% over SkillOpt across six benchmarks and three target language models.
While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel as static solvers, transforming them into autonomous agents remains challenging. This transition requires continuous environmental interaction, yet current agents lack the necessary persistent procedural memory.
arXiv:2607. 28048v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Skill-based prompting has become a practical mechanism for improving large language model (LLM) agents, yet existing skill acquisition methods often treat skills as experience summaries, memory entries, or direct summaries of successful demonstrations.
arXiv:2608. 15165v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can continually improve without parameter updates by converting historical experience into reusable procedural knowledge.
arXiv:2608. 14036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Skills have emerged as a practical and effective approach for enhancing LLM agents at inference time through structured packages of knowledge.
