SkillSynth Automates Terminal Task Synthesis via Skill Graphs

other · 2026-04-30

Researchers propose SkillSynth, an automated framework for generating diverse terminal task instances to train command-line agents. The system constructs a large-scale skill graph where scenarios act as intermediate transition nodes linking command-line skills. By sampling paths from this graph as abstractions of real-world workflows, SkillSynth uses a multi-agent harness to instantiate executable task instances. This approach addresses the scarcity of high-quality execution trajectories by providing controlled diversity in training data, going beyond existing methods that primarily scale task quantity without trajectory variety.

Key facts

  • SkillSynth is an automated framework for terminal task synthesis.
  • It uses a scenario-mediated skill graph.
  • Scenarios serve as intermediate transition nodes connecting command-line skills.
  • Paths from the skill graph are sampled as abstractions of real-world workflows.
  • A multi-agent harness instantiates sampled paths into executable task instances.
  • The framework aims to provide controlled diversity in execution trajectories.
  • Existing methods focus on scaling task number, not trajectory diversity.
  • The work is published on arXiv as 2604.25727.
