Skill Training with Corruption and Reconstruction Loop

arXiv:2607.27557v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle in highly specialized domains. Rather than parameter-level adaptation of LLMs which is costly and difficult to interpret, external skills (often defined as text files) have been recently proposed to augment LLMs for specialized domains. However, such skills rely on costly active human annotations or passive summarization of high-quality examples. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised approach for agent self-evolution that learns domain-specific skills directly from existing high-quality human artifacts, without additional human annotations or external rewards. Inspired by diffusion models, our approach follows a forward-loss-backward process to reconstruct human artifacts by iteratively learning the agent's external skill library rather than updating its model parameters. Experiments on short-drama screenwriting demonstrate that our approach enables agents to autonomously extract generalizable writing skills from human-authored scripts and substantially improve domain-specific generation quality. Our approach provides a scalable paradigm for agents to continuously learn many kinds of complex skills from existing high-quality human artifacts.
