Trajectory-Guided Fault Localization for Agent Skill Evolution

Read the original on arXiv AI →

SkillMorph is a skill‑evolution method that uses trajectory‑guided fault localization to improve agent skills. It links execution evidence to specific skill contents by comparing failure and success trajectories across repeated runs, identifies suspicious actions, and localizes edit sites for revisions. Experiments on SWE‑Skills‑Bench and CannBot show that skills evolved with SkillMorph achieve higher trial‑level accuracy and execution consistency than the original skills and those produced by four other methods, and it has already generated six accepted skill‑revision pull requests in an automated kernel generation setting.

A Wrong Turn Does Not Ruin the Journey: Deviation-Guided Skill Self-Evolution for LLM Agents

The paper introduces SkillPivot, a framework that guides large language model agents to evolve their skills by pinpointing the exact moment a useful problem‑solving sequence turns into an erroneous suffix. SkillPivot uses execution validity, goal progress, and action diversity to detect this deviation point, then employs a stronger teacher to generate a successful alternative from the same prefix. By contrasting the failed and successful suffixes, the method produces localized, compact skill updates that preserve existing effective guidance, outperforming other skill‑evolution techniques on benchmarks such as ToolQA, LogicBench, and WildClawBench.

FailForge: Distilling Procedural Competence from Persistent Failures into Code Agents

arXiv:2608. 08570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rejection sampling fine-tuning (RFT) is widely used to train code agents by generating trajectories on verifiable software engineering tasks, retaining those that pass the tests, and fine-tuning on the successful rollouts.
