Dynamic Dual-Granularity Skill Bank for Agentic RL

About

Agentic RL can benefit substantially from reusable experience, yet existing skill-based methods mainly extract trajectory-level guidance and often lack principled mechanisms for maintaining an evolving skill memory. We propose D2Skill, a dynamic dual-granularity skill bank for agentic RL that organizes reusable experience into task skills for high-level guidance and step skills for fine-grained decision support and error correction. D2Skill jointly trains the policy and skill bank through paired baseline and skill-injected rollouts under the same policy, using their performance gap to derive hindsight utility signals for both skill updating and policy optimization. Built entirely from training-time experience, the skill bank is continuously expanded through reflection and maintained with utility-aware retrieval and pruning. Experiments on ALFWorld, WebShop, and Search-Augmented QA tasks show that D2Skill substantially improves performance over skill-free baselines across models of different scales. Further ablations and analyses show that both dual-granularity skill modeling and dynamic skill maintenance are critical to these gains, while the learned skills exhibit higher utility, transfer across evaluation settings, and introduce only modest training overhead.
