HYPERSKILL is a new experiential memory framework for LLM agents that uses a hypergraph structure to represent n-ary relationships between subtasks and skills from past trajectories. The framework integrates structure-informed retrieval and evolution mechanisms, consistently improving success rates by up to +11.18% over baselines on xBench, GAIA, and WebWalkerQA benchmarks while maintaining memory compactness and quality.

Key insights

  • Representing an agent's experiential memory using a hypergraph effectively captures complex n-ary relationships between subtasks and skills, which is crucial for transferring compositional planning knowledge.
  • A dual-path retrieval strategy, combining procedural and semantic matching with co-occurrence-based skill ranking, significantly enhances the relevance and comprehensiveness of retrieved knowledge.
  • Structure-informed memory evolution mechanisms, including quality-driven pruning and structural merging, are essential for maintaining a compact, high-quality memory that supports sustained performance improvement.
