Not sure if this take is correct though. I suspect self-generated skills help the agent avoid having to "decompress" its latent knowledge, which might save tokens? idk, I am not an expert
Yet I’ve seen people succeed with „write me a prompt“ prompts. The model makes something up, often it makes sense.
They are like plans in that way: It’s not exactly novel knowledge, but it at least encodes it somewhere to make the process verifiable beforehand and a bit more repeatable.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it improves performance a little, just like thinking blocks do (every model reasons now).
