SkillFab: An Agent-Native Skill Production Platform

Anjie Xu, Yifeng Cai, Yi Li, Zixing Wang, Zhiyu Zhang, Jingfan Chen, Ruohan Xu, Leye Wang

SkillFab is an agent-native platform for turning missing capabilities into reviewed, reusable Agent Skills. At runtime, agents first search for reusable skills; when no adequate skill exists, the unmet capability becomes a demand-first issue before any repository or implementation branch needs to exist. Development then proceeds through a SkillFab-managed repository, Git-ingested commit evidence, maintainer review, and registry publication. The same lifecycle is exposed through web, REST, and MCP surfaces, so humans, scripts, and external agents operate on shared state rather than separate task logs. The current system uses scoped Git push URLs, native range commit ingestion, workflow-state reads, and workflow-event histories to make long-running agent work reviewable and recoverable. We document the platform model, architecture, implemented capabilities, and three case studies: an end-to-end OS-detect skill run, a Docker research package that converts operational practice into reusable skill knowledge, and an external optimization case showing how improved skill artifacts can enter SkillFab as reviewable, versioned submissions. Deployment: https://skillfab.ai.

AEVAL: From Anecdotal to Deterministic Testing for Agentic Skill Workflows

Tejas Singh Anand, Yuet Ying Christina Wang, Wanting Jiang, Steve Masson, Tian Zheng, Bingjie Zhou

Modern agentic systems increasingly rely on skills: installable packages of natural language and code that teach an LLM agent to perform a domain task. As skill repositories grow, developers need automated quality signals on every change, yet evaluation today is largely anecdotal…

Skills Are Not Islands: Measuring Dependency and Risk in Agent Skill Supply Chains

Changguo Jia, Tianqi Zhao, Runzhi He, Minghui Zhou

Agent skills package reusable operational knowledge for Large Language Model (LLM) agents, yet as they grow in scope, they become dependency-bearing artifacts whose identities, versions, and provenance remain implicit. This opacity already causes duplicated dependencies and incon…

RESOURCE2SKILL: Distilling Executable Agent Skills from Human-Created Multimodal Resources

Yijia Fan, Zonglin Di, Zimo Wen, Yifan Yang, Mingxi Cheng, Qi Dai, et al.

Skills are a useful abstraction for software agents, turning human and agent experience into reusable procedural knowledge. Yet existing skill libraries are mostly hand-written, text-centric, or derived from agent traces, leaving tutorial videos and other multimodal human resourc…

DataFlow-Harness: A Grounded Code-Agent Platform for Constructing Editable LLM Data Pipelines

Runming He, Zhen Hao Wong, Hao Liang, Zimo Meng, Chengyu Shen, Xiaochen Ma, et al.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to automate data-processing workflows, yet coding agents typically produce scripts that are not automatically materialized as persistent, editable platform artifacts. We call this disconnect the \textit{NL2Pipeline gap}. To bridg…
