New SKT pipeline enhances AI agent skill-use with verified synthetic data

Researchers have developed SKT, a novel data synthesis pipeline designed to enhance the ability of language model agents to identify, apply, and coordinate skills. SKT generates skill-grounded tasks and verified trajectories by selecting skill configurations, synthesizing tasks through rule-based and agent-based verification, and retaining only successful skill-use trajectories. This process produced 4,000 task packages and 27,164 verified trajectories from 2,000 public skills. To evaluate skill-use performance, the team also constructed SkillEval, a new benchmark dataset. Experiments demonstrated that fine-tuning models on SKT-generated data consistently improves skill-use capabilities across various benchmarks and agent harnesses. AI

IMPACT This research introduces a method to improve AI agent's ability to use skills, potentially leading to more capable and versatile AI systems.

    SKT: Skill-Use Training at Scale via Verified Synthetic Data Generation

    Agent skills have become an important mechanism for equipping language-model agents with reusable procedural knowledge. However, providing skills alone does not guarantee that current models can effectively identify, apply, and coordinate them. To improve skill-use capabilities, …
