SkillSmith: Co-Evolving Skills and Tools for Self-Improving Agent Systems

SkillSmith introduces a co-evolution framework where AI agent skills and tools develop together rather than independently, using ecological dynamics to model skill interactions and anti-pattern tracking to prevent repeated failures. The system demonstrates consistent improvements across multiple benchmarks and model scales, particularly as task complexity increases.
