Paper Compares Subagents and Agent Skills for Long-Horizon Agentic Tasks
A new arXiv paper investigates how language model agents can draw on libraries of reusable knowledge when tackling long-horizon tasks. It contrasts two approaches—subagents and agent skills, where skills are packaged as multi-file bundles—and examines which executes such knowledge more effectively. The study was announced in the cs.AI category and cross-listed in cs.CL and cs.LG.
