First Workshop on Agent Skills
Agent Skills '26 is the first workshop dedicated to the design, evaluation, and optimization of procedural knowledge packages—called Skills—for LLM-based agents. It brings together researchers and practitioners to advance the state of Skills in areas such as applications, safety, benchmarking, and learning, with a focus on real-world deployment and ecosystem infrastructure.
