arXiv 2608.13120 derives evolution gradients from multi-turn interaction feedback rather than an agent's own post-hoc reflection, tested over six cloud service categories, 9 production skills and 98 skill-reference files. It beats reflection-based evolution by 23.0 points and single-turn-QA-driven evolution by 15.4. The claim underneath: an agent grading its own transcript is a weak signal, and the corrective information lives in subsequent turns.
