SkillsBench: Benchmarking how well agent skills work across diverse tasks

Xiangyi Li, Yimin Liu, Wenbo Chen, et al. (including Junwei He)

A benchmark for testing whether procedural knowledge packaged as reusable skills translates into real agent capability. Curated tasks and deterministic verifiers compare agents with and without skills, separating skill quality from an agent’s ability to discover and apply them. Used in frontier-model evaluations.
