🚀 Introducing SkillOpt — an optimizer for agent skills.

Instead of finetuning model weights, we treat a natural-language skill as a trainable external parameter.

Think of it as deep learning for the frontier-model + agent era: learning rate, LR schedule, mini-batch, batch size, epoch, momentum — all in text-space optimization.
SkillOpt enables stable, controllable skill updates through bounded edits, allowing the optimizer to summarize “gradient directions” from agent experience and continuously improve procedural capability.
We evaluate SkillOpt across 6 benchmarks and 7 models, under both direct model calls and real agent execution loops with Codex + Claude Code. SkillOpt achieves best or tied-best results in 52/52 settings.

Train the skill, not the model. 🛠️🤖

@Jason All 3 have massive for capital in the next year. While strategically I get it, it’s tough timing for those 3 over next 12 month horizon.

@AdtechGod You’re absolutely right. Optimizing without any conversion signals allows the campaign the headroom to do its best work, and that’s a nuance most people miss.
