Library Drift: Diagnosing and Fixing a Silent Failure Mode in Self-Evolving LLM Skill Libraries
Researchers have identified a silent failure mode in self-evolving Large Language Model (LLM) skill libraries, termed 'library drift.' This occurs when skills accumulate without proper lifecycle management, leading to degraded retrieval and performance stagnation. A new paper proposes a governance framework including outcome-driven retirement and meta-skill authoring to address this, showing significant improvements in skill library performance. AI
