SKILL.state: Scalable Long-Horizon Agent Skills

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 26, 2026 · UTC

Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly act as autonomous agents executing complex, long-running procedural skills. Existing agent runtimes maintain execution by continually appending observations, actions, and intermediate reasoning traces to an ever-growing conversation history, causing latency degradation and context-poisoning failures over long horizons. We present SKILL. state, a runtime architecture that replaces append-only conversational history with an explicit, mutable execution state. At each execution step, the model receives only the immutable skill specification, the current st
