Yeah I care about LLM's generating skills after attempting tasks and learning lessons from those attempts, not before attempting a task for the first time. This result seems a little silly and detached from the reality of how skills are "auto-generated" in the real world.

That is my approach. I don’t think the papers author has actually used skills.

Did you check our repos and sites? the repo is skills native. Also please don't be misled by the original title, we have this configuration to eliminate the impact of internal knowledge of LLMs. It's in the paper.
