智能体技能正通过自动化反馈循环不断优化,生成包含长结构化内容的成果,但其内部单元的价值仍不清晰。本文研究技能估值:在固定智能体和未见任务分布下,为技能内部单位(如规则、示例、脚本、启发式)分配信用。与数据或提示片段估值不同,技能单元具有结构性——彼此依赖、构成文档层级、触发行为、消耗有限上下文。我们提出SkillSV,一种结构感知的谢尔比风格估值框架。SkillSV将技能解析为单元、依赖关系与层级结构,仅评估有效反事实技能。采用成对删除与长度中性填充,分离内容价值与上下文成本,并使用带预算的滚动生成器估计噪声智能体评价结果。在四个智能体基准上评估了SkillSV的忠实性、可操作性与解释性:它能恢复单元间交互,保持整体技能提升,指导安全剪枝与压缩。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Agent skills are increasingly optimized by automated feedback loops, producing long structured artifacts whose internal value remains unclear. We study skill valuation: assigning credit to the internal units of a fixed skill, such as rules, examples, scripts, and heuristics, under a fixed agent and held-out task distribution. Skill valuation differs from data or prompt-span valuation because skill units are structured: they may depend on other units, belong to a document hierarchy, trigger agent behavior, and consume limited prompt context. We introduce SkillSV, a structure-aware Shapley-style framework for skill valuation. SkillSV compiles a skill into units, dependencies, and hierarchy, so that only valid counterfactual skills are evaluated. It uses paired deletion and length-neutral padding to separate content value from context cost, and estimates the resulting values with a rollout-budgeted estimator for noisy agent evaluations. On four agentic benchmarks, we assess the faithfulness, actionability, and explanation of SkillSV: it recovers unit interactions, preserves aggregate skill lift, and guides safe pruning and compression.
