A new paper introduces SkillOpt, a method for optimizing AI agent skills by treating markdown skill files as trainable parameters. The approach uses a frontier model to propose bounded edits, which are then validated against a held-out set, accepting only strict improvements. This method has shown that best skills converge with a small number of accepted edits, and optimized skills can transfer effectively between different models, even improving performance on benchmarks. AI
IMPACT This method could improve the performance and transferability of AI agent skills across different models.
