SkillSmith: A Compiler-Runtime Framework for Efficient LLM Agent Skills

ai-technology · 2026-05-18

SkillSmith is a new framework proposed to reduce redundancy in large language model (LLM)-based agent systems. It compiles skill packages offline into minimal executable interfaces by extracting fine-grained operational boundaries. This allows agents to dynamically access only relevant components at runtime, minimizing unnecessary context injection and redundant reasoning. Evaluated on the SkillsBench benchmark, SkillSmith reduces solve-stage token usage. The paper is available on arXiv under ID 2605.15215.
