  • 从残差流提取27维情绪向量,注入路由提示提升决策准确性。
  • 在WebShop和ALFWorld上分别提升26.9%和25.5%成功率。
  • 可定位技能调用问题,指导细粒度流程重写,适合智能体研发者。

基于技能的LLM智能体从外部库中选择可复用过程以解决复杂任务,但其调度决策仅依赖文本级信号(如任务描述、口头反思和经验规则),而忽略模型自身的内部表征状态。近期可解释性研究发现,LLM中存在线性情绪表征并因果影响行为,但这些表征仅用于事后分析或输出引导,未用于智能体层级决策。本文提出Emotion2Skill框架,提取LLM内部情绪向量,并将其融入技能选择与演化。每一步决策中,从残差流提取27维情绪状态,经置信度门控后注入路由提示。除在线选择外,还通过情绪轨迹分析识别突变状态,定位问题技能调用,指导目标化SOP重写,替代以往粗粒度二值结果信号。在WebShop和ALFWorld上,采用Qwen3-8B的Emotion2Skill相比零样本基线分别提升26.9%成功率达和25.5%平均成功率,且在两个基准上均优于所有基线,对Qwen3-14B也保持一致增益。共激活分析揭示语义一致的情绪-技能配对,证实路由改进反映有意义的内部状态信号而非模糊统计关联。结果表明,LLM内部情绪表征是协调智能体技能系统的有效决策信号,拓展其应用超越可解释性与输出控制。代码见https://github.com/BoHan-LIN04/Emotion2Skill。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Skill-based LLM agents select reusable procedures from an external library to solve complex tasks, yet their routing decisions rely entirely on text-level signals such as task descriptions, verbal reflections, and experience-derived rules, while the model's own internal representational state remains unobserved. Recent interpretability work has shown that LLMs maintain linear emotion representations that causally influence behavior; however, these representations have been exploited only for post-hoc analysis or direct output steering, and have not been used to inform agent-level decision-making. We propose Emotion2Skill, a framework that extracts LLM-internal emotion vectors and incorporates them into both skill selection and skill evolution. At each decision step, a 27-dimensional emotion state is extracted from the residual stream and mapped to a confidence-gated summary injected into the routing prompt. Beyond online selection, emotion trajectories are analyzed for abrupt internal-state shifts to pinpoint problematic skill invocations, guiding targeted SOP rewriting that replaces the coarse binary outcome signal of prior methods. On WebShop and ALFWorld, Emotion2Skill with Qwen3-8B improves over the Zero-Shot baseline by +26.9% success rate and +25.5% average success respectively, outperforming all baselines on both benchmarks with consistent gains on Qwen3-14B. Co-activation analysis further reveals semantically coherent emotion--skill pairings, confirming that the routing improvements reflect meaningful internal-state signals rather than opaque statistical correlations. These results establish LLM-internal emotion representations as an effective decision-level signal for orchestrating agent skill systems, extending their utility beyond interpretability and output steering. The code is available at https://github.com/BoHan-LIN04/Emotion2Skill.
