SkillDuet couples policy learning with the selection of persistent written skills for simulated-task agents. Skills guide on-policy distillation, while the model’s response shifts on existing trajectories rank recent skills for consolidation without new environment interactions. On WebShop with Qwen3-4B, it reaches 92.97% complete-task success versus 87.50% for SEED-API; response shifts indicate change, not future benefit.
