Ratchet: A Minimal Hygiene Recipe for Self-Evolving LLM Agents

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2605.22148v1 Announce Type: cross Self-evolving skill libraries, pioneered by Voyager, let frozen LLM agents accumulate reusable knowledge without weight updates, yet recent evaluation shows that LLM-authored skills deliver $+0.0$pp over no-skill baselines while human-curated ones deliver $+16.2$pp: the bottleneck is not skill authoring but lifecycle management.
