Workflow-Localized Mechanism Learning: Attribution-Guided Repair and Knowledge Reuse for Structured Agent Skills

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 20999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent Skills package reusable procedural knowledge as external artifacts for frozen language-model agents, yet existing optimizers do not jointly resolve where a failure occurs in a workflow, which mechanism caused it, and how relevant knowledge from third-party Skills should be reused locally.

SkillGLoW: Procedural-Family Skill Consolidation for Self-Improving Agents on Long-Horizon Task Streams

SkillGLoW introduces a new way for large language model agents to self‑improve by consolidating procedural skills shared across related tasks. Instead of storing all skills in a single global document or a flat per‑task pool, SkillGLoW aggregates local skills into procedural families, compresses them into de‑instantiated global priors, and regenerates instance‑specific details on demand. Experiments on four diverse benchmarks show that these priors improve performance by an average of 17.2 points over a no‑skill baseline, are more compact than per‑task pools, and enable better transfer to unseen tasks.

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.
