Learn to invoke agent skills selectively using dual-granularity preference learning to improve task execution

advanced Published 2 Jun 2026
Action Steps
  1. Define agentic tasks and identify relevant skills
  2. Implement dual-granularity preference learning to determine skill invocation
  3. Train a model to predict skill invocation probabilities
  4. Test and evaluate the model using simulated tasks
  5. Refine the model by incorporating feedback and adjusting preference learning parameters

Title: Skill or Skip? Learning Selective Skill Invocation in Agentic Tasks via Dual-Granularity Preference Learning

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.00510v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent skills are callable procedural modules that provide reusable knowledge and execution policies for complex agentic tasks. However, existing methods mainly focus on selecting relevant skills or improving the skills themselves, while overlooking whether a relevant skill should actually be invoked at the current decision point. Unhelpful invocations may introduce irrelevant context and disrupt an otherwise correct execution process. To address
