Automating AI Skills: Mining GitHub for Smarter Agents – A Breakdown of Cutting-Edge Research
Automating AI Skills: Mining GitHub for Smarter Agents – A Breakdown of Cutting-Edge Research Imagine teaching a super-smart student who knows everything about history, science, and trivia—but can’t tie their own shoes or follow a recipe without messing up. That’s the current state of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 or Claude. They’re encyclopedias of declarative knowledge (facts and info), but they struggle with procedural knowledge (step-by-step “how-to” skills for real tasks). This new research paper flips the script: it shows how to automatically “mine” open-source GitHub repos to extract specialized skills, turning generic AIs into modular, expert agents without retraining them.[1][2] ...
