RESOURCE2SKILL: Distilling Executable Agent Skills from Human-Created Multimodal Resources

Jul 15, 2026

RESOURCE2SKILL is a framework that extracts and organizes executable skills for software agents from multimodal resources such as tutorial videos, code repositories, and articles. These skills are structured in a hierarchical Skill Wiki that integrates text, code, visual examples, and metadata, enabling agents to retrieve and compose relevant skills for complex tasks. In evaluations across seven authoring domains, RESOURCE2SKILL improved agent performance by an average of 11.9 percentage points compared to agents without skill libraries, and outperformed strong baselines in most tested scenarios.

Why it matters: This work demonstrates a significant advance in enabling software agents to autonomously acquire and utilize diverse, human-created resources as reusable skills, enhancing their adaptability and effectiveness in complex tasks.
