PASE：程序辅助的可修补技能演化框架，让 LLM 智能体技能更易维护进化

View PDF HTML (experimental)

Abstract:Agent skills have emerged as an effective means of enabling LLM agents to solve complex, interactive tasks by encoding reusable knowledge without modifying model parameters. Recent approaches further improve skill adaptation by distilling reusable experience from agent execution trajectories and evolving skills based on downstream task feedback. However, existing methods primarily represent skills as natural language documents, intertwining procedural logic with descriptive knowledge and making skills difficult to maintain and evolve. To address this limitation, we propose PASE (Program-Aided Patchable Skill Evolution), a program-aided framework that iteratively evolves skills by associating them with executable programs. Unlike prior approaches that encode trajectory-derived experience primarily in natural language, PASE separates reusable procedural logic into editable programs, enabling targeted updates to executable components while reducing the need to repeatedly revise natural language skills. Extensive experiments across diverse models and benchmarks demonstrate that PASE consistently outperforms all baselines, by achieving over 2.8% improvements. Further analyses show that PASE exhibits greater evolutionary stability and generalisation capability, highlighting the critical role of programmatic knowledge in skill evolution. We will release all data and code via GitHub.
