RESOURCE2SKILL turns multimodal resources into executable agent skills
microsoft · hf · 2026-07-20
Microsoft and collaborators introduce RESOURCE2SKILL, a framework that distills multimodal human resources—tutorial videos, repositories, articles, and reference artifacts—into executable skills for software agents.
- It organizes skills into a hierarchical multimodal Skill Wiki.
- Each entry combines structured text, code, visual examples, metadata, and provenance so agents can reuse complementary signals from different sources.
- At inference time, agents retrieve and compose skills from the wiki; if coverage is insufficient, the same operator can acquire new skills online.
- Across seven practical authoring domains, the method improves average overall score by +11.9 points over no-skill agents and beats strong harness baselines in 26 of 28 main-aggregate model-domain cells.
- Ablations show gains from multimodal format, hierarchy, source diversity, selection strategy, and online acquisition.
