New CompSkill method enhances LLM agent skill retrieval using execution experience

Researchers have introduced CompSkill, a novel method for improving skill retrieval in large language model (LLM) agents. Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on skill descriptions, CompSkill incorporates execution experience to refine skill rankings. This approach compiles matched comparisons into skill offsets and capped key residuals, allowing past executions to dynamically alter the skills presented to the agent. CompSkill has demonstrated significant improvements in task completion rates on benchmarks like ToolQA, AppWorld, and ALFWorld when used with models such as GPT-5.6-luna and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM agent performance by improving skill retrieval, potentially leading to more efficient and effective task completion.

    CompSkill: Compiling Execution Experience for Skill Retrieval

    arXiv:2611.01115v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents increasingly rely on skill documents, yet most retrievers rank them by description alone and ignore what earlier executions revealed, even though a relevant skill can hurt execution. We present CompSkill, which indexes sk…
