SkillCT: A Multidimensional Benchmark and Execution-Free Baseline for Agent Skill Assessment

Read the original on arXiv AI →

SkillCT is a new benchmark that expands agent skill assessment beyond downstream task execution to a multidimensional evaluation across nine dimensions grouped into Static, Dynamic, and Human-Assisted assessments. It measures specification quality, behavioral robustness, semantic alignment, and responsibility boundaries without requiring repeated executions. The benchmark also introduces an execution-free baseline that predicts skill quality profiles by comparing to similar reference skills, reducing token usage and evaluation time while enabling skill refinement and repository maintenance.

A Framework for Evaluating Agentic Skills at Scale

arXiv:2606. 17819v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent skills -- structured, reusable knowledge artifacts that augment LLM agent capabilities -- have been rapidly adopted in industry, yet their cross-domain impact and use across commercial and open-source models remain under-studied, and no reusable methodology exists for evaluating an individual skill.

SkillAligner: Treating Retrieved Skills as Adaptable Drafts at Execution Time

arXiv:2608. 06880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: General-purpose skills promise reusable procedural knowledge for language agents, yet semantic relevance does not guarantee execution utility: a retrieved skill may encode assumptions that conflict with the current task, execution environment, or other retrieved skills.
