SkillOps: Managing LLM Agent Skill Libraries as Self-Maintaining Software Ecosystems
arXiv·medium signal
Paper identifies 'skill technical debt' — library-level defects that accumulate as skills are added, reused, patched, and linked to changing dependencies. Existing skill-based agents focus on task-time retrieval and repair but ignore library-time maintenance. SkillOps treats skill libraries as software ecosystems requiring versioning, dependency tracking, and automated maintenance. Builder-actionable for anyone running agent skill libraries that grow over time.
