Skill-3D: Evolving Scene-Aware Skills for Agentic 3D Spatial Reasoning

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

Skill-3D is a framework that enables AI agents to learn scene-aware skills through self-evolving memory and skill libraries, significantly improving tool utilization in 3D spatial reasoning tasks (e.g., from 39% to 78% on VSI-Bench).

This paper explores agentic 3D spatial understanding, i.e., MLLM agents performing 3D reasoning through tool use. Existing methods often misuse tools and exhibit biased tool preferences under 3D scenarios, leaving the agentic paradigm with only marginal gains over non-agentic strategies. We reveal that 3D spatial reasoning tasks are heterogeneous across scenes, while these agents apply a uniform tool-use strategy to all scenes rather than selecting tools according to the specific scene and task. To address this, we propose Skill-3D, a framework that learns self-evolving scene-aware skills. Specifically, Skill-3D identifies the task scene and records the agent's tool-use trajectory into a Scene Memory, where successful trajectories from similar scenes are aggregated and distilled into a reusable scene-aware skill, with failed ones attached to the skill as lessons. During training, once a similar scene recurs, the corresponding skill is injected to guide the agent, producing new trajectories whose successes and failures further refine the skill, forming a loop in which the memory and the skill library co-evolve. Experiments show that Skill-3D substantially improves tool utilization in 3D spatial reasoning (from 39% to 78% on VSI-Bench), driving the agent toward correct and sufficient tool use. For instance, it improves Gemini-3-Flash by 67% on MMSI-Bench. Furthermore, we conduct agentic post-training over skill-guided trajectories, which boosts Qwen3-VL-8B by 43% on VSI-Bench.

Abstract

Skill-3D framework enables agents to learn scene-aware skills through self-evolving memory and skill libraries, improving tool utilization in 3D spatial reasoning tasks.

This paper exploresagentic 3D spatial understanding, i.e.,MLLM agentsperforming 3D reasoning throughtool use. Existing methods often misuse tools and exhibit biased tool preferences under 3D scenarios, leaving the agentic paradigm with only marginal gains over non-agentic strategies. We reveal that3D spatial reasoningtasks are heterogeneous across scenes, while these agents apply a uniform tool-use strategy to all scenes rather than selecting tools according to the specific scene and task. To address this, we propose Skill-3D, a framework that learnsself-evolvingscene-aware skills. Specifically, Skill-3D identifies the task scene and records the agent’s tool-use trajectory into aScene Memory, where successful trajectories from similar scenes are aggregated and distilled into a reusable scene-aware skill, with failed ones attached to the skill as lessons. During training, once a similar scene recurs, the corresponding skill is injected to guide the agent, producing new trajectories whose successes and failures further refine the skill, forming a loop in which the memory and theskill libraryco-evolve. Experiments show that Skill-3D substantially improves tool utilization in3D spatial reasoning(from 39% to 78% on VSI-Bench), driving the agent toward correct and sufficienttool use. For instance, it improves Gemini-3-Flash by 67% on MMSI-Bench. Furthermore, we conductagentic post-trainingover skill-guided trajectories, which boosts Qwen3-VL-8B by 43% on VSI-Bench.
