Hierarchical skill KB improves performance of weaker models

Hierarchical skill KB improves performance of weaker models

Short summary

SkillX automatically constructs hierarchical skill knowledge bases from execution traces, enabling smaller models like Qwen3-32B to gain ~10 points on benchmarks while reducing token budgets. The three-tiered hierarchy allows efficient skill retrieval without redundant exploration. Consider building a pilot skill library from existing logs to measure accuracy and token reduction.

  • SkillX improves smaller models by ~10 benchmark points through hierarchical skill extraction
  • Three-tiered design (strategic plans, functional skills, atomic skills) reduces redundant steps and context length
  • Actionable recommendation: pilot skill library from existing logs to measure accuracy and token reduction
