Title: SkillGrad: Optimizing Agent Skills Like Gradient Descent
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.27760v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent skills provide a lightweight way to adapt LLM agents to specialized domains by storing reusable procedural knowledge in structured files. However, whether downloaded from third parties or self-generated, these skills are often unreliable, incomplete, or outdated. Existing skill-evolution methods often address these deficiencies through heuristic reflections without an explicit optimization formulation. In this paper, we propose SkillGrad, a g
