microsoft/SkillOpt

SkillOpt is Microsoft Research's MIT-licensed optimizer for agent skill documents. Instead of fine-tuning model weights, it evaluates trajectories, edits a natural-language skill file, and only keeps updates that pass a validation gate; the June 15 SkillOpt-Sleep preview adds nightly offline skill consolidation for local coding agents.
