这篇论文让AI智能体不仅能学技能,还能自动改进改进方法本身,在三个测试集上都有明显提升,挺有意思。

AI 摘要

MetaSkill-Evolve提出双时间尺度框架,使智能体技能改进递归化:任务技能在快循环演化,元技能(分析、检索、分配、提议、进化五组件)在慢循环自我应用。在OfficeQA、SealQA和ALFWorld三个基准测试上,该方法相比无技能基线分别提升+23.54、+16.09和+1.92个点。所有组件共享单一冻结骨干模型,无需额外模型或目标。

MetaSkill-Evolve: Recursive Self-Improvement of LLM Agents via Two-Timescale Meta-Skill Evolution

Recent LLM agents tackle increasingly long-horizon, open-ended tasks, and external skills, reusable procedural knowledge supplied to the agent, further extend this capability. However, a fixed, hand-authored skill is rarely optimal, and cannot adapt to the diversity of tasks an agent encounters. Self-improving agents address this by rewriting their own skill files from execution traces, yielding meaningful gains on challenging benchmarks. Yet such self-evolution remains non-recursive: it improves only the task skill (what the agent does) while the improvement procedure (how it improves) is authored once and held fixed. We introduce MetaSkill-Evolve, a two-timescale framework that makes agentic skill improvement recursive: every branch carries both a task skill $s$ and a branch-local meta-skill $m=(ψ,σ,α,π,\varepsilon)$ whose five components parameterise the Analyzer, Retriever, Allocator, Proposer, and Evolver agents of the improvement pipeline. Task skills evolve on a fast loop while the meta-skill evolves on a slower one under the same pipeline applied to itself, with no additional model or objective. With all five pipeline agents sharing a single frozen backbone, MetaSkill-Evolve outperforms no-skill, static-skill, and single-level evolution baselines on three agentic benchmarks (OfficeQA, SealQA, ALFWorld), improving held-out test accuracy over the raw backbone by +23.54, +16.09, and +1.92 points respectively.
