SKILL-KD: Contrastive Skill Distillation for LLM Agents
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.

D-Skill: Distilling Teacher Knowledge through Agent Skills
D‑Skill is a framework that distills the behavioral advantage of a large language‑model teacher into an interpretable natural‑language skill document, using only paired rollouts and no weight updates. The skill is constructed offline from fixed trajectories, then provided to a smaller student model at inference time. Across benchmarks such as SpreadsheetBench‑Verified, ALFWorld, and chess puzzles, D‑Skill closes 75‑95% of the teacher‑student performance gap and reduces inference cost by 5.7×–8.3× compared to the teacher.

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.
