SkillSelect-Serve: Budget-Controllable and QoS-Aware Skill Service Recommendation and Composition for Small LLM Agents

arXiv:2607.00011v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reusable skill libraries are becoming important infrastructure for large language model (LLM) agents, yet existing selection methods often treat skills as retrievable documents and return fixed top-k lists. This paper presents SkillSelect-Serve, a budget-controllable and QoS-aware framework that formulates agent skill selection as Skill Service Recommendation and Composition. SkillSelect-Serve represents raw skills as structured Skill Services with functional descriptions, dependencies, context cost, risk, and QoS-related attributes. A local Mi

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of LLM agents drives an urgent need for efficient, context-aware skill management to move beyond basic retrieval methods.

Why it’s important

This development addresses a critical bottleneck in deploying autonomous agents by enabling more sophisticated, resource-aware, and performant skill orchestration.

What changes

Agentic systems can now dynamically select and compose skills based on budget, quality of service, and dependencies, rather than static lists, enhancing their practical utility.

Winners
  • · AI Agent developers
  • · Enterprises deploying LLM agents
  • · Cloud service providers (optimised agent compute)
Losers
  • · Basic 'top-k' retrieval methods for agent skills
  • · Inefficient monolithic AI models
Second-order effects
Direct

Improved performance and cost-efficiency of LLM-powered autonomous agents.

Second

Acceleration in the adoption and deployment of AI agents across various industries.

Third

Increased demand for robust, granular 'skill service' marketplaces and infrastructure.
