Abstract
SkillNet introduces an open infrastructure for systematically accumulating and transferring AI skills through a unified ontology, significantly improving agent performance across multiple domains.
CurrentAI agentscan flexibly invoke tools and execute complex tasks, yet theirlong-term advancementis hindered by the lack of systematic accumulation and transfer of skills. Without aunified mechanismforskill consolidation, agents frequently ``reinvent the wheel’’, rediscovering solutions in isolated contexts without leveraging prior strategies. To overcome this limitation, we introduce SkillNet, an open infrastructure designed to create, evaluate, and organize AI skills at scale. SkillNet structures skills within a unifiedontologythat supports creating skills from heterogeneous sources, establishing rich relational connections, and performingmulti-dimensional evaluationacross Safety, Completeness, Executability, Maintainability, and Cost-awareness. Our infrastructure integrates a repository of over 200,000 skills, an interactive platform, and a versatile Python toolkit. Experimental evaluations onALFWorld,WebShop, andScienceWorlddemonstrate that SkillNet significantly enhancesagent performance, improving average rewards by 40% and reducingexecution stepsby 30% across multiple backbone models. By formalizing skills as evolving, composable assets, SkillNet provides a robust foundation for agents to move from transient experience to durable mastery.
