What Is a Skill Worth? Structure-Aware Shapley Valuation of Agent Skills
TL;DR
SkillSV is a new framework for valuing agent skills by analyzing their structured components and dependencies. It effectively separates content value from context cost, enabling better skill optimization and pruning.
✦ Why It Matters
Implement SkillSV to optimize your agent's skills and improve performance evaluation today.
Key Takeaways
- Use SkillSV to analyze and optimize agent skills effectively.
- Implement paired deletion to separate content value from context cost.
- Leverage SkillSV's insights for safe skill pruning and compression.
- Test SkillSV on your benchmarks to evaluate its effectiveness.
How It Works
SkillSV compiles agent skills into structured units and dependencies, allowing for a detailed analysis of how each component interacts. By using a Shapley-style valuation, it evaluates the contribution of each skill unit while controlling for contextual factors, ensuring that the assessment reflects true performance impacts.
