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.

SkillGym: Training Skill-Use Agents with Automatic Verifiable Environment Generation

SkillGym is an automatic pipeline that generates verifiable environments for training skill-use agents. It crawls internet skills, filters for reproducible workflows, and uses a builder‑reviewer process to create difficulty‑controlled tasks with reference solutions and verifiers. The system builds 6.8k environments, collects 19k successful trajectories, and fine‑tunes LLMs from 2B to 122B parameters, improving performance and skill invocation rates.

Anything2Skill: Compiling External Knowledge into Reusable Skills for Agents

arXiv:2606. 09316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enables agents to access external knowledge at inference time, but it primarily retrieves fragmented declarative evidence, leaving agents to repeatedly infer task procedures from passages, manuals, examples, logs, or trajectories.

Jev-LiteMAS: Separating Decisions from Generation in Multi-Agent Workflows

Jev-LiteMAS is a multi‑agent framework that separates decision‑making from generative execution in large‑language‑model workflows. By using a lightweight decision model (Jev) to dynamically select experts and screen artifacts, it closes the planning and review gaps left by pure generative planners and reviewers. Experiments on four benchmarks show that Jev‑LiteMAS cuts generative‑LLM token usage by 12.7–54.6% while keeping accuracy within 1.34 percentage points and reducing latency in most settings.
