SkillEvolBench is a new diagnostic benchmark that evaluates the transition from episodic experience to procedural skills in LLM agents using role-conditioned task families and frozen deployment tests.
OLIVIA treats LLM agent action selection as a contextual linear bandit over frozen hidden states and applies UCB exploration to adapt online, yielding consistent gains over static ReAct and prompt-based baselines on four benchmarks.
FlowAgent models tool chaining as continuous latent trajectory generation with conditional flow matching to deliver global planning, formal utility bounds, and better robustness on long-horizon tasks, plus a new plan-level benchmark.
SkillFlow benchmark shows lifelong skill evolution yields modest gains for some models like Claude Opus 4.6 but limited or negative utility for others despite high skill usage.
SetupX presents an experiential learning framework for LLM agents that reaches 92% pass rate on functionality-correct repository setup by transferring verified fixes across repositories via XPU representations, LIFO Docker snapshots, and Prosecutor-Judge verification.
A systematic study across five domains finds model-generated skills yield average gains but non-uniform negative transfer, with a meta-skill improving extraction quality.
Skill-R1 applies bi-level group-relative policy optimization to evolve skills recurrently from verified outcomes, yielding gains over baselines on multi-step tasks.
Self-evolving LLM agents exhibit capability erosion under continual adaptation, which Capability-Preserving Evolution mitigates by raising retained simple-task performance from 41.8% to 52.8% in workflow evolution under GPT-5.1.
SkillGraph jointly evolves agent skills and collaboration topologies in multi-agent vision-language systems using a multimodal graph transformer and a skill designer, yielding consistent performance gains on benchmarks.
SkillsVote is a governance system for agent skills that profiles corpora, recommends via search, and gates updates on successful reusable outcomes, yielding benchmark gains without model changes.
An external controller for frozen LLMs raises strict validation success on three RL coding tasks from 0/9 to 8/9 by selecting memory records and skills, running fail-fast checks, and propagating credit via eligibility traces.
