研究发现AI技能维护主要靠人主导，AI仅辅助，且当前无法可靠衡量规则性。

Lifelong LLM agents increasingly rely on external skill artifacts as one element for preserving and reusing capabilities over time. These skills (usually portable Markdown files such as SKILL.md) describe when and how to apply a capability and must be corrected, expanded, and consolidated as tools and usage patterns shift over deployment. Recent work seeks to automate skill curation, but it largely evaluates against automated baselines and treats human maintenance as an unmeasured bottleneck. We study that missing process directly. We mine the full commit histories of five public AI-skill repositories, a purposive sample of AI-tooling organizations, covering 873 commits, 143 skill files, and 254 substantive post-creation edits from October 2025 to June 2026. We code each edit with pre-registered governance, operation, and trigger-evidence codebooks. Three findings emerge. First, every substantive edit is authored or merged through a named human account, while 62% carry an AI co-author trailer, with large repository-level variation. Second, these edits are genuine curation: an audited sample shows that most change skill content, and the coded operations are dominated by additions and corrections. Third, a pre-registered rule-likeness axis fails its reliability gate; reliably coding rule-likeness from commit artifacts remains an open measurement problem. We release the corpus, codebooks, mining scripts, and a replay protocol for automated skill curators. For self-evolving agents, public skill maintenance currently looks less like an autonomous pipeline than a human-governed, AI-assisted loop that future curators must measure against and operate within.
