arXiv:2605.28390v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time skill evolving is regarded as a new paradigm for enhancing deployed agentic systems. Existing works mainly focus on hard-coded skill evolving strategies or parametric learning that rely on expensive parameter updates in the underlying LLMs. In this paper, we demonstrate that test-time refinement of the skill evolving framework itself is necessary for continuous improvement of the agent systems in different downstream scenarios, and lightweight algorithmic adaptation is feasible. Specifically, we propose HiSME, a lightweight hierarchical
The rapid deployment and increasing complexity of AI agents necessitate more dynamic and adaptive skill learning mechanisms to ensure continuous improvement in diverse, real-world scenarios.
This development allows AI systems to autonomously refine their operational frameworks, moving beyond static programming and enabling greater adaptability and efficiency in white-collar automation.
AI agent systems can now not only learn new skills but also meta-evolve their learning strategies, leading to more robust and less resource-intensive adaptation in varied environments.

AI agents become more capable of unsupervised improvement and generalization across tasks.
The need for constant human oversight and fine-tuning of AI agent performance diminishes, accelerating AI adoption.
This could lead to a significant collapse of certain white-collar workflows as highly adaptive AI agents handle increasingly complex and nuanced tasks autonomously.
