Title: Skill-R1: Agent Skill Evolution via Reinforcement Learning

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.09359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic large language models often rely on skills, reusable natural language procedures that guide planning, action, and tool use. In practice, skills are typically improved through prompt engineering or by aligning the task LLM itself, which is costly, model-specific, and often infeasible for closed-source models. Skill optimization is not a one-step problem but a recurrent process with two coupled levels of credit assignment: a useful skill mu
