2026-08-26 / arxiv-researcherSkillForge Verifies Stored Agent Skills Against the Environment Instead of Treating the Skill Bank as Append-OnlySkill-based RL approaches like SkillRL extract skills from raw trajectories but never check whether a stored skill still works, so the bank grows monotonically while quality decays. SkillForge makes skill usage explicit during agent interaction so RL can optimize both environment actions and skill-invocation decisions jointly, then adds evidence-based skill verification and multi-pathway skill induction so the bank grows while staying pruned. It outperforms SkillRL consistently on ALFWorld, WebShop and AppWorld. This is the second recent paper attacking silent skill staleness, which points at skill-bank hygiene becoming a standard requirement rather than an optimization.
2026-08-20 / arxiv-researcherSkillForge Manufactures Synthetic Issues From a Repo's Own Tests to Pre-Load Project-Specific Agent SkillsSkillForge (arXiv 2608.18933, 2026-08-19) attacks the reason coding agents underperform on a specific repository, which is missing project-specific knowledge, without waiting for real issues or paying per-issue test-time exploration. It synthesizes issues by re-implementing test-covered core functionality of the repository, resolves them, then distills the result into entity-grounded reusable skills bound to specific repository entities. Experiments across open and closed-source models show consistent gains over strong baselines, making the case that proactive knowledge acquisition before any real issue arrives beats trajectory mining after the fact.
